Summary
Small Works Estimator
Location: Liverpool
Salary: £28,500-£32,500 + flexibility up to £40,000 for the right experience
Permanent | Full-time
Our client is looking for an ambitious Estimator who wants to build their career.
This is an opportunity to join a growing SME with ambitious plans, where you'll have the chance to take real ownership of your work, develop your estimating skills and progress within the business.
Our client specialises in
repairs, maintenance and first-fix works, rather than major construction or new-build projects. The role will focus on smaller works, typically up to £15k at a high volume, giving you exposure to a varied range of projects and clients.
You'll join a close-knit team and work alongside experienced colleagues, with a clear opportunity to develop as the business continues to grow.
The Role
As a Small Works Estimator, you'll manage the estimating process from initial enquiry through to quotation, including:
• Reviewing client enquiries and scopes of work.
• Arranging engineer site visits and reviewing survey information.
• Challenging and refining scopes where required.
• Obtaining costs from approved suppliers and subcontractors.
• Producing accurate and competitive quotations.
• Managing costs through the company's job tracking system.
• Working closely with coordinators, engineers and subcontractors to deliver a smooth process.
You'll be given the opportunity to develop your commercial understanding and become an important part of the estimating function.
What Our Client Is Looking For
Ideally, you'll have:
• 2+ years' experience in estimating, repairs, fixing or maintenance.
• Experience within a subcontractor environment, particularly plumbing, electrical, joinery or similar.
• Strong numerical and analytical ability.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Good knowledge of Excel, Word and Outlook.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• A genuine desire to develop and progress your career.
New-build estimating experience alone is unlikely to be suitable, as the focus is firmly on repairs, maintenance and fixing works.
Why Join?
This is a great opportunity for someone who has built a foundation of estimating experience and is now looking for the
next step in their career.
You'll be joining a growing business where your contribution will be recognised, with the opportunity to take on more responsibility as you develop. The role is expected to evolve alongside the business, making it well suited to someone who is ambitious and wants to grow with the company.
Benefits include:
• £28,500-£32,500 salary, with flexibility up to £40,000 for the right candidate.
• Clear progression opportunities.
• Company pension.
• Free parking.
• Growing SME environment.
• Opportunity to develop your estimating and commercial skills.
Interview Process
The process consists of two stages:
• Initial interview.
• Second-stage interview with senior members of the team.
