  • Identify project risks, value engineering opportunities, and alternative solutions
  • Attend pre- and post-tender meetings as required
  • Support handover to the contracts team and assist with procurement planning

The Ideal Candidate

  • Minimum of 3 years’ previous experience in estimating within the construction industry
  • Experience with structural steelwork is highly desirable
  • Strong understanding of fabrication, erection processes, and associated costs
  • Confident reading and interpreting technical drawings and specifications
  • Commercially aware with strong numerical and analytical skills
