Provide technical, commercial, and risk support through the tender process.
Attend site visits, presentations, and handover meetings as required.
Mentor and support junior estimating staff while promoting continuous improvement.

Who You Are

Minimum 10 years' experience in senior estimating within a main contracting environment.
Experience bidding across multiple sectors (e.g., education, healthcare, commercial, leisure) with typical project values of £7m-£30m.
Proven ability to support and manage framework bids and renewals.
A track record of mentoring more junior staff and leading aspects of the bidding process.
Excellent attention to detail, communication skills and strong team-working behaviours.
