We're working with a well-established, nationally recognised main contractor that's looking to appoint an experienced Estimator to join its growing pre-construction team.

This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a business with a strong pipeline of work, delivering major industrial, warehouse and manufacturing projects ranging from £15m to £150m.

The Role

You'll play a key role within the estimating team, taking ownership of tenders from initial enquiry through to submission and working closely with internal teams, clients and the supply chain to secure high-quality projects.

Responsibilities include

  • Managing tenders from receipt through to submission and post-tender negotiations
  • Producing cost plans and supporting two-stage tenders
  • Liaising with internal teams and the wider supply chain throughout the tender process
  • Reviewing quotations and ensuring compliance with project specifications
  • Identifying commercial risks and opportunities
  • Preparing tender handover documentation
  • Attending pre-tender, mid-tender and post-tender meetings
  • Visiting project sites where required

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
