Summary

Estimator

Manchester | Up to £65,000 + Bonus + Hybrid Working

Tired of pricing jobs that never go anywhere? Want a role with a steady stream of repeat business and genuine client relationships?

This is an opportunity to join a busy, family-run fit-out contractor with an established pipeline of commercial projects across Manchester. With a large proportion of work coming from a long-standing key client, you'll be working on a consistent flow of office fit-out and refurbishment schemes up to £2m, giving you the chance to focus on winning and delivering quality projects rather than chasing opportunities.

As Estimator, you'll take ownership of multiple tenders and enquiries, working closely with clients from initial site visits through to project handover. This is a highly visible role that requires confidence, commercial awareness and the ability to build strong relationships while managing a busy workload.

The Role

• Preparing cost estimates and tender submissions for commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects.

• Managing a high volume of enquiries and two-stage tenders.

• Attending site visits to scope works and meet clients.

• Building and maintaining strong client relationships.

• Working alongside Project Managers to ensure smooth project handovers.

• Supporting and mentoring a Junior Estimator.

• Collaborating closely with the Operations & Commercial Director.

About You

• Ideally 5+ years' estimating experience within office fit-out.

• Comfortable managing multiple tenders simultaneously.

• Strong commercial and negotiation skills.

• Confident in client-facing situations.

• Organised, proactive and able to perform in a fast-paced environment.

What's on Offer?

• Up to

£65,000 salary

• Discretionary bonus

• Company phone and laptop

• Guaranteed

work from home every Friday

• Flexibility around school runs and family commitments

• Predominantly Manchester-based projects

• Long-term career opportunity within a growing business

• Supportive and close-knit team environment

If you're an experienced Estimator looking for autonomy, repeat business, client interaction and a healthy work-life balance, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a business with a strong reputation and a secure workload.
