Description:
Estimator / Senior Estimator – Construction / Trainee Quantity Surveyor
???? Gloucestershire (Hybrid Working)
Looking to take the next step in your estimating career?
We’re working with a growing, forward-thinking SME delivering high-value, complex construction projects (£100k–£8m)—and they’re looking for an Estimator or Senior Estimator to join their close-knit commercial team.
This is a brilliant opportunity to work on interesting, non-civils projects, gain real commercial exposure, and progress your career in a supportive environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Work on large, complex projects (up to £8m)
* Be part of a small, collaborative team (4 estimators)
* Gain exposure to commercial / QS responsibilities
* Clear progression for ambitious individuals
* Hybrid working (2 days in office after probation)
* Supportive, experienced manager focused on development
The Role
* Prepare detailed and competitive tenders
* Liaise with clients, suppliers, and project teams
* Value engineer solutions to meet budgets
* Support cost control, procurement, and project delivery
* Attend occasional site visits (approx. 1x per month)
What We’re Looking For
* Experience estimating within the construction industry (essential)
* Strong commercial awareness
* Confident communicator with good negotiation skills
* Ambitious and keen to develop
???? Ideal for candidates within 45 minutes of Cheltenham / Gloucester
