ESTIMATOR | LEICESTER | £30,000 - £34,000

I'm currently recruiting for an Estimator to join a well-established and growing manufacturer supplying products into the construction sector.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with estimating experience who enjoys interpreting technical drawings, producing quotations, and working closely with customers, sales teams, and production.

The Role

  • Prepare quotations and estimates from customer enquiries
  • Interpret construction and technical drawings
  • Carry out material take-offs and calculations
  • Liaise with customers to obtain missing information
  • Work closely with sales and manufacturing teams
  • Manage multiple enquiries and quotations simultaneously
  • Develop commercial awareness around pricing, margins, and cross-selling opportunities

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.
