Estimator 
£55,000 – £75,000 + Package
Bermondsey, London

 Why This Role Matters 
Join a long-established, privately owned contractor in Bermondsey with a reputation for delivering high-quality projects across residential, social housing, heritage, commercial, education, healthcare, and public sectors.

 This is an excellent opportunity for an Estimator ready to take full ownership of tender processes and cost management across technically challenging and varied projects, typically valued from £1m to £15m. You’ll work directly with senior leadership, influence winning bids, and grow your career within a stable, respected business.

 The Role – What You’ll Be Doing 
As an Estimator, you will lead the pre-construction commercial process, managing tenders from initial enquiry to submission and supporting cost control during project mobilisation. Working from the Bermondsey head office, your key responsibilities will include:
  
Lead Tenders: Prepare and price submissions across a wide range of sectors, ensuring accuracy, competitiveness, and compliance with client requirements. 
Commercial Ownership: Analyse subcontractor quotes, prepare pricing schedules, and manage procurement inputs for bids. 
Project Analysis: Review design and technical information, identify risks, and propose value engineering solutions. 
Client & Consultant Liaison: Support negotiations and clarifications with clients, architects, and subcontractors during tender stages. 
Reporting: Produce accurate bid summaries, tender reports, and budget forecasts for senior leadership. 
Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the development of estimating processes, templates, and cost libraries across the business.  You will also have the opportunity to mentor junior staff and shape future estimating practices within the business.

 About the Company – Where You’ll Be Working 
You will be joining a highly respected contractor with decades of experience delivering complex projects across multiple sectors. The company is known for combining technical expertise with a collaborative, personal approach. Directors are hands-on and accessible, providing a supportive environment where your work is trusted, recognised, and rewarded.

 What You Need  
Proven experience as an Estimator with a main contractor or large subcontractor, or strong exposure to tendering within a PM or commercial role. 
Strong understanding of cost estimating, procurement, and subcontractor management. 
Excellent analytical, communication, and organisational skills. 
Proactive, detail-oriented, and able to take responsibility for delivering accurate, timely tenders. 
Degree, HNC, HND, or equivalent in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or related field preferred but not essential.  What You’ll Receive  
Salary £55,000 – £75,000 depending on experience, plus performance-based benefits package. 
Office-based in Bermondsey with direct access to senior leadership. 
Long-term career progression and structured development pathway. 
Exposure to a variety of sectors and prestigious projects, including heritage and high-value residential schemes. 
Opportunity to grow into a highly sought-after senior Estimator or Commercial Manager role.  How to Apply
