Job Description

Assistant Estimator

📍 Bolney, West Sussex
💼 Full-time, Permanent

The Opportunity

A well-established, family-run building contractor based in West Sussex is looking to recruit an Assistant Estimator to join their growing team.

With a heritage spanning over 100 years, the business has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects across Sussex, including new builds, refurbishments, heritage works and local authority schemes.

This is a rare opportunity for an Assistant Estimator looking to build a long-term career in estimating, with structured mentorship and a clearly defined progression path.

The Role

As an Assistant Estimator, you will support the estimating team across a wide range of construction projects, gaining hands-on experience in:

  * 

    Assisting with preparation of cost estimates and tender submissions

  * 

    Reviewing drawings, specifications and project documents

  * 

    Liaising with subcontractors and suppliers for pricing

  * 

    Supporting take-offs and measurement exercises

  * 

    Helping to build accurate and competitive tenders

  * 

    Working closely with experienced estimators and the wider project team

You’ll gain exposure to a diverse project portfolio including heritage restorations, local authority works, and high-end residential builds.

Training & Development

This role is designed as a long-term career pathway:

  * 

    Direct mentorship from two experienced Senior Estimators

  * 

    Structured, hands-on training over a 3–5 year period

  * 

    Full exposure to the estimating function from enquiry to tender submission

  * 

    Clear progression route to leading the estimating department within 5 years

This is an opportunity to genuinely grow into a leadership role, not just remain in a support position.

About You

  * 

    Interest in construction, estimating, or quantity surveying

  * 

    Strong numerical and analytical skills

  * 

    Good attention to detail

  * 

    Confident communicator with a proactive attitude

  * 

    Ideally some construction knowledge or relevant qualification (not essential)

This role would suit someone early in their construction career looking for structured development and a long term secure position. Candidates could come from an Estimating, Surveying, Buying or even Construction Management background.

What’s on Offer

  * 

    Competitive salary

  * 

    Structured training and long-term career progression

  * 

    Mentorship from highly experienced professionals

  * 

    Incredibly supportive, team-oriented working environment

  * 

    Opportunity to progress into a senior leadership role
