A highly successful leading subcontractor known for their expertise in glass systems and façades is seeking an Estimator to oversee their projects from initial tender receipt to project win. Based in London with projects located in London. The company is well recognised for their ability to design, procure, and install a variety of glass façade systems for some of the most prestigious multi-million commercial projects in London, as well as smaller more bespoke contracts. As one of the UK's top installers of bespoke building envelopes they need a capable Estimator to strengthen and support their current team, working on smaller projects and maintenance lead works.

Your role as Estimator will be pre-construction focused to support the commercial and design teams, winning glass and facade projects, complete envelopes systems, for the operations teams to deliver.

Subcontractor Quotation evaluations
Cost Planning
Value Engineering
Take Offs and measurement
Subcontractor engagement
Risk Analysis
Reviewing the Tender documentation.

Managing price requests to external suppliers.
Compiling the Tender submissions.
Monitoring Tenders after submission and respond to any further requests by the client.
Managing all communications with the client during the Tender process.
Liaising with the Engineering and Production departments.

This role would ideally suit applicants that have previous estimating experience with another sub contractor either facade contractor or glass specialist with an interiors / exteriors focus, but also someone who may have worked on site in Project Management who wants to focus more on pre-construction.

Salaries will be offered based on the level of experience in the industry but there will be a benefits package given in addition which includes a car or car allowance, bonus, pension and healthcare.
