Senior Concrete Estimator

We are seeking a Senior Concrete Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates for a range of concrete construction projects. This role will suit an experienced estimating professional with strong technical knowledge, commercial awareness, and the ability to manage multiple tenders from initial review through to submission. You will work closely with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients to ensure proposals are thorough, achievable, and aligned with project requirements.


Your responsibilities will include reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and contract documentation; completing detailed quantity take-offs; developing labour, plant, material, subcontractor, and logistical cost estimates; and identifying exclusions, qualifications, risks, and opportunities. You will obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations, undertake value engineering where appropriate, maintain estimating databases, and prepare clear tender summaries for internal review. The role will also involve monitoring market conditions, supporting bid strategy, contributing to handover meetings, and assisting with post-tender negotiations and project cost reviews. Accurate documentation, attention to detail, and consistent compliance with internal processes will be essential.


Applicants should have substantial experience estimating concrete or reinforced concrete works, ideally within commercial, industrial, civil, infrastructure, or large-scale building projects. A strong understanding of construction methods, reinforcement, formwork, finishes, temporary works, access requirements, and associated preliminaries is required. You will be confident interpreting technical drawings and specifications and using estimating, take-off, spreadsheet, and project management software. Excellent numerical, analytical, communication, and organisational skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently and meet demanding deadlines. A relevant construction, engineering, quantity surveying, or commercial qualification will be advantageous. This is an opportunity to join a professional project environment where your expertise will directly support successful bids and the delivery of high-quality concrete works.
