• Our Estimators work on fast turnaround timeframes, and we have many submissions on the go at once. We know some Estimators prefer to be on one project only for the long term

• We have tried and tested systems and approaches, so chances are we will ask you to do some things differently from your last role

• We hire with confidence. We can because our recruitment process is thorough (but not lengthy). So, it will include interview questions that dive into your experience and reference checks
