Job Description

Assistant Estimator – Main Contractor

📍 Birmingham (with flexible working)
💰 £35,000 - £50,000 (DOE) + Package + Clear Progression

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a well-established, privately-owned main contractor with a strong regional presence and an impressive growth trajectory.

This is one of those businesses that’s genuinely hard to ignore right now. The company is built on solid foundations with a long-standing reputation for quality and delivery. More recently, they’ve demonstrated exceptional growth—launching a new regional operation and they’ve already delivered £150m worth of projects, built up a £400m forward order book, and are targeting a £1bn pipeline.

The team is firmly in growth mode, and those joining now will play a key role in shaping what the business becomes. They are also delivering some of the region’s most significant and high-profile schemes, offering excellent exposure for anyone looking to develop their career.

Due to this continued success, they are looking to appoint an Assistant Estimator to join their expanding Pre-Construction team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in estimating, with clear support, structured development, and fast-track progression on offer.

You don’t necessarily need to come from a traditional estimating background. The business is open to individuals from Quantity Surveying, Engineering, or other construction-related disciplines who are looking to transition into a pre-construction/estimating role.

The Role:
You’ll be supporting the Estimating team across a diverse range of projects, gaining exposure to the full tendering process while working closely with experienced senior professionals.

Key responsibilities include:

  * Assisting with the preparation of cost estimates and tender submissions

  * Reviewing drawings, specifications, and tender documentation

  * Supporting with take-offs and bill of quantities

  * Liaising with the supply chain to obtain competitive quotations

  * Helping to build up cost plans and pricing strategies

  * Contributing to value engineering and cost-saving initiatives

What’s on Offer:

  * A clear pathway for progression within a growing pre-construction team

  * Exposure to major, high-profile regional projects

  * Supportive and collaborative team environment

  * Opportunity to transition into estimating from other construction roles

  * Long-term job security with a strong pipeline of work

About You:

  * Background in construction (e.g. QS, Engineering, or similar)

  * Strong numerical and analytical skills

  * Keen interest in pre-construction and estimating

  * Ambitious and motivated to progress your career

  * Good communication and team-working ability

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business that genuinely invests in its people and offers the chance to grow quickly within a thriving and ambitious team
