This role would suit a commercially minded Estimator (or Quantity Surveyor looking to move into estimating) who understands how to build rates, assess risk, and produce realistic, deliverable costings, rather than relying on textbook estimating alone.

• Organised, analytical, and detail-oriented
Desirable
• Quantity Surveying background with a clear interest in an Estimator role
