Midweight Estimator - Commercial Fit Out & Refurbishment
Location: London
Salary: £65,000 - £80,000 + package
Sector: Commercial Fit Out & Refurbishment
Project Values: Typically up to £10m
Contractor: Established Traditional Main Contractor
The Opportunity:
An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Midweight Estimator to join an established London fit-out and refurbishment contractor.
The business delivers high-quality commercial interior projects and has an excellent presence across the London market. The successful Estimator will join an experienced preconstruction team and work on a variety of commercial fit-out and refurbishment schemes, typically valued up to £10m.
This would suit an Estimator who already has good commercial fit-out experience and is looking to take greater ownership of tenders while continuing to develop towards Senior Estimator level.
The Role:
As Midweight Estimator, you will be involved throughout the tender process, including:
* Reviewing tender documentation, drawings and specifications
* Preparing detailed estimates and tender submissions
* Producing accurate cost plans and pricing schedules
* Sending subcontractor and supplier enquiries
* Analysing and comparing subcontractor quotations
* Identifying potential risks, opportunities and value-engineering options
* Completing take-offs and measurement where required
* Working closely with the preconstruction, commercial and operational teams
* Attending tender reviews and contributing to bid strategy
* Building relationships with subcontractors and the wider supply chain
* Supporting projects from initial enquiry through to successful handover to the delivery team
What We're Looking For:
We are particularly interested in candidates with:
* Experience estimating within commercial fit out and refurbishment
* Experience working for a main contractor / traditional fit-out contractor
* Strong understanding of subcontractor packages and the London supply chain
* Experience pricing projects from tender documentation and drawings
* Good commercial awareness and attention to detail
* Ability to manage multiple tenders and deadlines
* Experience on projects ranging from smaller refurbishments through to multi-million-pound fit-out schemes
* Ambition to develop into a Senior Estimator position
Experience across Cat A, Cat B, refurbishment and complex commercial interiors would be particularly relevant.
Why Apply?
This is a strong opportunity for an Estimator who feels ready for the next stage of their career but doesn't necessarily want to jump straight into a Senior Estimator position.
You'll be joining an established fit-out contractor with a strong London presence and exposure to varied commercial projects. Parkeray describes itself as a main contractor specialising in interior fit-out and refurbishment, and reported delivery across a broad range of project sizes in its most recent financial year.
