Looking to build on your career? Develop new skills? 

Our in-house estimating teams work alongside our nationwide network of branches to deliver accurate, detailed estimates of materials for our customers projects.


What you’ll do


Our Estimating teams have a clear interest and passion in the construction industry, so we hope you do too.  Having worked in a similar role, you’ll manage and continue to develop a team of estimators, assigning projects to meet KPIs, matching the  skill set and development needs of assigned estimators. You will ensure architectural drawings and details for domestic construction projects are accurately reflected in estimates, maximising customer satisfaction and relationships. Using your knowledge and experience, you’ll take the lead on estimating senior level projects and work with key stakeholders to develop the service offering and resources used.

Is this you?

If you have a collaborative approach to managing a team of estimators , you’re detail oriented and inherently passionate about construction,  with a great understanding of the needs of SME customers and their projects, we want to hear from you.


Our team will support your continued development, understand your desired career path, which could present opportunities of further education relative to the teams and services, progression within the department or other divisions of the business.


What’s in it for you?


We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer, where everyone in our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves - you be you, it makes us, us, as we say. If you’re interested in this opportunity but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be just the right candidate for this or other roles with us.


We’ll also equip you with a benefits package that grows as you grow with the company:


Competitive bonus
