Estimator (Structural Steel)

£65,000 - £75,000 + Company Benefits + Progression + Training + Office Based

Pontypool, Monmouthshire

Are you an Estimator or similar with structural steel experience looking for a technical role with an exciting workload within a rapidly growing manufacturer?

Since the 2010s, this company has been providing structural steel solutions across a range of industrial and commercial projects, alongside project management services. Their continued success has enabled them to grow to over 50 employees and achieve a multi-million-pound turnover.

In this office-based role, you will manage the estimating process from initial enquiry through to construction. You will support tender strategies, prepare BOQ pricing, engage with suppliers, analyse quotations, and help deliver competitive bids for a variety of 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.
