I'm working in partnership with a leading name in the UK housing sector to appoint an experienced Estimator to join their growing commercial team.
This isn't your typical "sit behind a desk pricing tenders" role.
You'll be part of a business that operates as both a developer and main contractor, giving you exposure to a wider range of projects and the opportunity to play a key role in shaping schemes from early-stage through to delivery.
The Role
You'll be responsible for producing accurate and competitive cost estimates across a variety of residential developments, while also playing a more strategic, client-facing role than you might be used to.
This includes:
Preparing detailed cost plans, budgets, and tender submissions
Working closely with land, design, and delivery teams
Attending and contributing to client and board-level presentations
Supporting new business opportunities and bid strategy
Providing commercial insight at pre-construction stageWhat We're Looking For
Proven experience as an Estimator within residential development or main contracting
Strong understanding of UK construction methods, materials, and pricing
Ability to communicate confidently with both internal teams and external stakeholders
Commercially astute with a proactive approach
Someone who wants more than just a "numbers" roleWhy This Role?
Opportunity to work for a well-established, reputable business with strong backing
Exposure to both contracting and development projects
A more engaging, client-facing position than a traditional estimating role
Clear progression opportunities as the business continues to growIf you're an Estimator looking to step into a broader, more commercially involved role, this is well worth a conversation.
