This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Estimator to join a long-established, highly reputable construction business delivering high-quality projects across the Oxford area.

Are you an experienced Estimator looking to take full ownership of tenders within a well-respected regional contractor?

With that, the ideal candidate will have strong UK construction estimating experience, be confident managing tenders independently, and have a proactive, self-sufficient approach.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected business with a strong pipeline of work, offering stability, autonomy, and the chance to work on high-quality, locally based projects.

The Role:

Managing tenders from enquiry through to submission
Visiting sites and assessing project requirements
Liaising with subcontractors and issuing enquiries
Preparing cost plans, pricing works, and reviewing prelims
Managing multiple tenders simultaneously
Supporting and mentoring a Junior Estimator
Working predominantly office-based with occasional site visits
 The Person:

Strong UK construction estimating experience
Proven ability to manage tenders independently
Strong knowledge of building regulations and procurement routes
Experience across a variety of construction projects
Strong Excel skills
Self-motivated and able to work autonomously
Commutable distance from Oxford
