Estimator (Full Specialist training)

Estimator (Full Specialist training)

£45,000 - £50,000 + Training + Company Benefits + Monday-Friday (Office-Based)
Reading, Berkshire

Are you an Estimator from any construction background, looking to become a specialist in flat roofing for commercial projects within a specialist contractor offering full training and progression?

For over 30 years, this company has delivered specialist roofing solutions across the construction sector, building a strong reputation, generating over £3m in annual turnover.

The Role

In this office-based role, you will receive full training to develop into a fully-fledged specialist in commercial flat roofing estimation. You will support the pre-construction process from initial enquiry through to tender submission. Working closely with an experienced team, you will learn how to assess technical roofing drawings and specifications, price roofing works, liaise with suppliers and clients and produce competitive tenders for a range of specialist projects.

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.
