Operating from their modern office at The Printworks, Bristol, Raise Projects combine professionalism and precision with a warm, social, and collaborative team culture. Led by Ryan and Simon, the business is driven by a passion for quality, integrity, and giving its people a genuine career move, not just another job.

* Liaising with clients, consultants, and supply-chain partners
* Sourcing and evaluating subcontractor quotations
* Identifying commercial opportunities and risks
* Supporting the project team with pre-construction and early design input
You’ll work closely with Ryan primarily, and the wider pre-construction team to help secure and deliver meaningful projects that make a difference.
Required Qualifications & Experience
The ideal candidate will bring:
* Proven experience as an Estimator within a main contractor or construction management environment
* Strong commercial awareness and technical understanding of construction methods and procurement routes
* Excellent analytical and communication skills
* Proficiency with estimating software and Microsoft Office
* A collaborative, proactive, and detail-driven approach
