Estimator - Construction

Location: Liverpool

Salary: Competitive DOE

Sector: Education / Main Contracting

Our client, a well-established Main Contractor based in Liverpool, is looking to appoint an Estimator to join their growing Construction team. The business delivers a wide range of projects, predominantly within the Education sector, with project values typically ranging from £500k to £1m.

This opportunity would suit either:

  • An Estimator looking to develop within a supportive contractor environment, or

  • A slightly more experienced candidate with some Quantity Surveying exposure who can bring additional commercial value to the team.

The Role

The successful candidate will support the pre-construction function and play a key role in the tendering process, helping to secure projects within tight turnaround times, typically 2-3 days.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing and assisting with cost estimates and tender submissions

  • Sending out subcontractor and supplier enquiries

  • Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain competitive quotations

  • Supporting the commercial and pre-construction teams throughout the tender process

  • Assisting with pricing analysis and cost comparisons

  • Working on projects primarily within the Education sector

  • Supporting the delivery of competitive tenders on projects valued between £500k-£1m

Candidate Profile

Our client is focused more on personality, attitude, and capability than the specific companies candidates have worked for.

They are looking for someone who:

  • Has experience within estimating in the construction industry

  • Ideally has some Quantity Surveying knowledge or exposure (preferred but not essential)

  • Is commercially aware and organised

  • Can work effectively in a fast-paced tender environment

  • Has strong communication and supplier management skills

  • Is proactive, reliable, and eager to develop

Additional Information
  • Office-based role in Liverpool

  • Occasional work-from-home flexibility available

  • Strong team environment with opportunities for progression

  • The company competes through service, relationships, and agility rather than high-value national contractor projects
