Job Description
This is an excellent opportunity for an aspiring Estimator looking to build a long-term career in construction. As a Trainee Estimator, you will support the pre-construction team across all estimating and tendering activities, gaining hands-on experience while working closely with experienced professionals. Full training and development will be provided.
We are seeking someone with the right attitude, strong work ethic, and a genuine willingness to learn, rather than extensive estimating experience.
Requirements:
- Assist in the preparation of cost estimates and tenders for demolition projects, crushing, remediation, enabling works, and civil engineering.
- Support the pre-construction process from tender enquiry through to contract award and handover.
- Help with take-offs, pricing, supplier enquiries, and basic cost analysis.
- Reviewing demolition drawings, asbestos reports, pre-demo surveys, and structural reports.
- Help with waste classification, haulage pricing, recycling/crushing options, and material disposal routes.
- Learn and apply company estimating procedures, systems, and best practices.
- Work closely with senior estimators, project managers, and the wider contracts team.
- Willingness to undertake site visits, surveys, and pre-start meetings.
- Contribute to maintaining accurate records and tender documentation.
