Company Overview
Our client is a specialist internal fit-out contractor delivering complex controlled environments for some of the most demanding sectors in construction. Their work spans data centres, life sciences and advanced manufacturing facilities, with projects across Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe.
The business has built a strong reputation for precision, quality and technical capability in environments where tolerances are tight and performance standards are exacting. Main contractors and end clients rely on them to deliver specialist internal packages on projects where getting the detail right is critical.
With demand for mission-critical and high-specification facilities continuing to grow, the business is expanding steadily and strengthening its estimating function. This creates an opportunity for an ambitious estimator to join a growing team and build their career in one of the most technically rewarding areas of the fit-out market.
Working Environment & Projects
You will join a close-knit estimating team that works collaboratively despite being remote-first. The culture is supportive and detail-focused, with experienced colleagues on hand to help you develop your technical knowledge of controlled environment systems and the sectors they serve.
Projects involve specialist internal fit-out packages on data centres, life sciences facilities and manufacturing plants, typically including cleanroom and controlled environment systems, partitions, ceilings, doors, finishes and associated specialist works. These are technically demanding schemes that offer excellent exposure to mission-critical construction.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is an ideal next step for estimators from a commercial office, education or healthcare fit-out background. The core skills of detailed measurement, accurate take-offs and robust pricing transfer directly, and you will be supported in building specialist sector knowledge as you progress.
The role is fully remote, offering genuine flexibility and work-life balance, with occasional travel to sites and client meetings across Europe giving you first-hand insight into the projects you price.
Responsibilities
- Carry out highly detailed measurement and take-offs from drawings and specifications
- Prepare accurate estimates and tender submissions for specialist fit-out packages of up to €20M
- Build up rates from labour, materials, plant and subcontract inputs
- Issue enquiries to suppliers and subcontractors, and analyse and level quotations
- Review tender documents to identify risks, clarifications, exclusions and value engineering opportunities
- Liaise with operations and design teams to ensure estimates reflect buildability and programme
- Support handover of successful tenders to the delivery team
