Senior Estimator (Progression to Estimating Manager)
A rare opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Senior Estimator who is ready to take the next step in their career. This role is ideal for someone who wants to join a respected and successful main contractor with a clear pathway to becoming an Estimating Manager in the near future, due to an upcoming retirement within the team.
About the Role
This position sits within a well-established main contractor operating across the commercial, education, healthcare, heritage, leisure and residential sectors, delivering projects up to £40m. The successful candidate will join a strong pre-construction team based in Hertfordshire, working closely with 7 experienced Estimators in a collaborative and supportive environment. Hybrid working can be discussed with the line manager.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Estimator - or a highly capable Estimator ready to step up - who is looking for long-term progression and the chance to take ownership within a busy and reputable contractor.
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years' estimating experience
- Strong main contracting background
- Experience across sectors such as commercial, education, healthcare, heritage, leisure or residential
- Someone personable, team-focused and confident working within a busy estimating department
- A motivated individual who wants to progress into a leadership role
Why This Role Stands Out
- Clear progression to Estimating Manager within 2-3 years
- Opportunity to step into a succession role due to planned retirement
- Work on diverse, high-quality projects up to £40m
- Join a stable, well-respected contractor with a strong pipeline
Package & Benefits
- Salary up to £100k (depending on experience)
- Car or travel allowance
- Private healthcare
- Additional employee benefits
- Long-term career progression into a management position
