Assistant Estimator
£35,000 - £55,000 + Package
Bermondsey, London
The Opportunity
We're looking for an Assistant Estimator to join a long-established main contractor based in Bermondsey. This is a fantastic chance for someone early in their career to develop quickly by working directly alongside the MD and senior commercial team, gaining hands-on mentorship and a clear progression pathway. The company delivers projects across a wide range of sectors — education, residential, social housing, heritage, commercial, public buildings, and healthcare — offering exposure to technically challenging and varied work.
You'll need some prior estimating experience (either with a main contractor, sub-contractor, or even from a project management role where you've worked on costs and tenders). A degree or HNC/HND in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or Engineering would be beneficial but isn't essential — the key is the right attitude, attention to detail, and ambition to grow into a fully-fledged Estimator.
About the Role - What You'll Be Doing
This is a unique opportunity for an Assistant Estimator to join an established contractor offering long-term career development and direct exposure to senior leadership. Working from the Bermondsey head office, you'll shadow the MD and senior team members, gaining invaluable hands-on experience and learning the company's way of working.
In this role, you will:
Support Tenders: Assist in preparing and pricing submissions across a variety of sectors, including heritage and healthcare.
Learn from the Best: Work closely with directors, gaining insight into strategy, pricing, and winning work.
Develop Expertise: Build a deep understanding of multiple sectors, from residential schemes through to sensitive heritage refurbishments.
Contribute to Success: Play a key role in the pre-construction process, helping to secure projects typically valued between £1m - £15m.
Grow Professionally: Follow a structured progression plan supported by mentorship, training, and real responsibility. About the Company - Where You'll Be Working
This is a contractor with decades of history and a reputation for delivering challenging projects across a range of sectors: education, residential, social housing, heritage, commercial, public buildings, and healthcare. Known for combining technical expertise with a personal, collaborative approach, the business offers both stability and genuine long-term career prospects.
Requirements & Rewards - What You Need, and What You'll Get Back The ideal candidate will bring:
Some estimating experience (main contractor, sub-contractor, or PM background with exposure to tenders).
A strong work ethic and eagerness to learn.
Good communication and analytical skills.
A degree or HNC/HND in a construction-related field (desirable but not essential). Rewards:
£35,000 - £55,000 starting salary with a fantastic package
Office-based in Bermondsey with direct access to senior leadership
Long-term career progression and structured development
