  • Monitor market conditions to inform cost forecasting.
  • Contribute to peer reviews of tender estimates.

About You

  • Several years of estimating experience in the construction sector.
  • Strong scope/cost acumen and proficiency in MS Excel, Word, and PDF.
  • Exposure to sectors such as Education, Health, Defence, or Government projects is desirable.
  • Familiarity with estimating software (BuildSoft or Cubit preferred).
  • Strong understanding of construction methodologies and processes.
  • Highly organised with good time management skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.
  • Comfortable working autonomously
