The Company
A long‑established, privately owned contractor with over 50 years of success across the Home Counties. They deliver new build and refurbishment projects in commercial, education, healthcare, leisure and highways/civil engineering, with project values ranging from £250k to £5m.
The team is highly skilled, friendly and stable, working from impressive countryside offices and maintaining strong, long‑standing client relationships. This is a business where people stay — because the work is varied, the culture is supportive, and the environment is genuinely enjoyable.
The Role
The Estimator will prepare accurate, competitive tenders across a wide range of sectors, working closely with the commercial team. You’ll join an established estimating team of two, working primarily from the office with occasional site visits.
