Estimator

Reading, Oxfordshire
Calibre Search

I’m working with a well-established design & build / commercial fit-out business delivering workplace strategy, office relocations, and high-quality interior fit-out schemes across the UK.
They’ve got a solid pipeline of work and are now looking to bring in a Pre-Con Estimator / Project Manager – someone who can operate across both pre-construction and delivery, and add real value from pricing stage through to project completion.

The Role
Producing estimates, cost plans, and tender submissions for commercial fit-out schemes

• Supporting bid strategy with accurate, commercially sound proposals
• Managing projects through to delivery, including financial control
• Working closely with clients, design teams, and internal delivery teams
• Overseeing multiple projects at varying stages and values
• Ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to spec

• This isn’t a pure estimator or a pure PM role we are looking for someone comfortable doing both.
• Background in commercial fit-out / construction estimating
• Good understanding of pre-construction processes and pricing methodology
• Ability to manage projects commercially from inception to completion
• Strong client-facing skills able to communicate at all levels
• Organised, able to juggle multiple workstreams simultaneously
• Experience working with JCT and/or NEC contracts
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Strong reporting skills (both written and verbal)
• Proficient across Microsoft packages

• The Opportunity
  Join a growing, busy fit-out business with a strong reputation
  Get exposure to both pre-construction and delivery sides of the business
  Work on a range of office fit-out and refurbishment projects nationwide
  Genuine long-term role with scope to develop as the business grows
