About the Role
As a Senior Estimator, you'll play a vital role in securing new business by producing accurate, competitive and commercially robust cost estimates across a diverse portfolio of Building Safety and Decarbonisation projects.
Working closely with the Pre-Construction, Commercial and Operational teams, you'll review tender documentation, undertake detailed cost analysis, obtain and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotations, and develop pricing strategies that support successful bid submissions.

Projects will typically include external wall remediation, fire safety improvements, cladding replacement, insulation upgrades, retrofit programmes, PAS 2030/2035 energy efficiency works, low-carbon heating solutions and wider building safety compliance schemes.
