NXT Recruitment is supporting a well‑established construction business in West Cumbria to recruit either a Building Estimator or Estimating Manager. This is a key role within the organisation, offering the opportunity to work on a varied portfolio of construction projects while playing an important part in the continued growth of the business.
The position would suit an experienced estimator looking for their next step, or a senior professional capable of leading estimating activity within the team. For the right person with the right attitude, there is genuine scope for long‑term progression within the company.
The Role
As Building Estimator / Estimating Manager, you will be responsible for preparing accurate cost estimates and supporting the tendering process across a range of construction projects. You will work closely with internal teams, subcontractors, and suppliers to ensure competitive and commercially sound proposals are produced.
This role is primarily office‑based in Maryport, although hybrid working may be considered for the right individual once established in the role.
Key Responsibilities
* Preparing detailed cost estimates and tender submissions for construction projects
* Reviewing drawings, specifications and project documentation
* Liaising with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain competitive quotations
* Assessing project risks and identifying cost‑saving opportunities
* Supporting the management of the tender process from enquiry through to submission
* Working closely with internal teams to ensure estimates are commercially viable
* Maintaining accurate records and documentation throughout the estimating process
About You
* Previous experience working in a construction estimating role
* Strong commercial awareness and understanding of construction processes
* Excellent attention to detail and numerical accuracy
* Confident communicator with the ability to liaise with suppliers, subcontractors and internal teams
* Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple tenders and deadlines
While a HNC in Construction would be advantageous, practical experience within the industry will be valued more highly than formal qualifications.
Why This Role
This is a strong opportunity to join a long‑established and respected construction business where your experience and contribution will be recognised. The role offers genuine long‑term career development and the chance to grow within the organisation.
