Senior Estimator - Prime Residential
London
Six-figure salary + package
You could change the course of your career with this opportunity.
One of the top names in the Super Prime Residential market, delivering some of London's most impressive luxury residential refurbishments, with projects reaching up to £15m are looking to bring in a Senior Estimator.
They're looking for someone who is ready for more than simply pricing the next job. You'll be working on high-value, technically demanding residential projects, trusted with real responsibility and given the opportunity to build your position within the business.
You'll be joining a business with the reputation, project quality and platform to seriously progress your career. If you've got the experience and ambition to make a bigger impact, there's a genuine opportunity to grow into a senior leadership position and ultimately head up a division of the business.
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.
