We are seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to join our growing team and play a key role in securing and delivering successful projects.

Working closely with our Estimating Manager, Commercial, Production and Design teams, you will lead the preparation of accurate and competitive tenders, provide expert cost planning advice, identify risks and value engineering opportunities, and develop winning strategies that support business growth.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of construction estimating processes, excellent commercial awareness, and the ability to build lasting relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors. You will also support the development of junior estimators, contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, and help ensure the successful transition of projects from tender stage through to delivery.

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.
