Estimator – Drylining & Facades
We are partnering with a well-established and growing specialist contractor delivering drylining and façade packages across major residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments throughout London.
With a strong pipeline of secured and upcoming projects, the business is looking to appoint an experienced Estimator to join its pre-construction team. This is an excellent opportunity for an Estimator with strong drylining and façade experience to take ownership of tenders, work on high-profile developments, and play a key role in securing new business for an ambitious and growing contractor.
As an Estimator, you will be responsible for managing the tendering process from initial enquiry through to submission and handover. Working closely with the commercial, pre-construction, and operational teams, you will produce accurate and competitive tenders while identifying commercial opportunities, managing risk, and ensuring bids are delivered to a high standard. The role would suit an Estimator who combines strong technical knowledge with commercial awareness and enjoys working in a fast-paced specialist contracting environment.
