An established and forward-thinking design & build contractor based in Leeds is seeking an experienced Estimator to join their commercial team on a full-time, permanent basis. The business specialises in office-to-residential conversions and residential fitouts, including high-rise (HRB) and heritage schemes, with projects ranging in value from £250k to £30M.
Currently delivering a £19M turnover, they have £29M worth of confirmed work in the pipeline-with 70% expected to start this year-and are targeting £30M+ turnover by the next financial year. This is a pivotal moment for the company's growth, and this role offers the opportunity to take full ownership of pricing and estimating activities.
Key Responsibilities
Manage the estimating process from initial enquiry through to submission, taking full responsibility for pricing.
Produce accurate cost plans, tender submissions, and take-offs for a wide range of residential conversion and fit-out projects.
Liaise with the design, pre-construction, and commercial teams to ensure budget alignment from concept through to delivery.

Deep understanding of current UK fire regulations and how they apply to residential buildings-including high-rise buildings (over 7 storeys).
Familiarity with the specific technical and compliance requirements of heritage properties is advantageous.
Minimum of 5-10 years of relevant estimating experience in the construction sector.
Comfortable working on projects from pre-construction through to handover.
Strong attention to detail and confidence working independently in a fast-paced environment.

This is a Leeds-based, office-based role.
90% of the work is in Yorkshire, primarily in and around Leeds, with some projects occasionally taken on elsewhere in the UK for key repeat clients.
The work typically includes office-to-residential conversions, high-rise buildings, and heritage projects, often under permitted development or full planning.
