Job Description:

Our client, a well-established Main Contractor based in Leicestershire, is going through a period of significant growth — having secured over £80m of new work in the last six weeks alone, with fresh tenders coming in thick and fast. As a result, they're looking to strengthen their Pre-Construction Team with the addition of an experienced Estimator.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business with a strong forward order book and genuine career progression on offer, working across a varied mix of Industrial & Logistics, Sports & Leisure, and Mixed Use schemes.

Estimator roles & responsibilities:

• Production of tender Bills of Quantities and pricing documents, pricing from first principles
• Analysis of subcontractor and supplier quotations
• Producing scopes of works for design teams and specialist consultants on design and build projects
• Value engineering ideas and solutions to meet client budgets
• Production of final bid documents and quality submissions
• Working across a range of contract types including D&B, Bills of Quantities, and NEC
• Managing the tender supplier/subcontractor database
• Detailed appraisal of incoming tenders and risk registers presented to the board

Estimator experience required:

• Solid background as an Estimator with a Main Contractor, ideally within the East Midlands region
• Track record pricing projects across a range of values, from circa £5m up to £15m
• Comfortable working in a high-pressure environment, managing multiple live tenders at once
• Strong commercial acumen and confident presenting at tender interviews/settlements
• Relevant construction qualification (HNC/degree or equivalent)

Why Apply? This is a business on a genuine growth trajectory, with a healthy and varied pipeline of work secured. They offer real scope for progression for the right candidate — as demonstrated by our own placement earlier this year, who has thrived in a similar role and gone from strength to strength.  For full details, drop me a line at Build Space HQ - (url removed) / (phone number removed).
