Head of Estimating
Strategic Leadership Opportunity | London
Circa Salary: £80,000 – £100,000 + Long-Term Progression
Location: London (Office-based)
Permanent/Full time
Are you ready to step beyond pricing jobs — and start shaping a business?
This is not a traditional Senior Estimator role. This is an opportunity to build, lead and elevate an entire estimating function within a long-established, highly respected construction business.
The company has a strong reputation, long-standing client relationships, and consistent delivery across refurbishment, public sector and mixed-use schemes. Until now, estimating has been director-led.
They are now ready for change.
They are looking for a commercially astute, technically strong Estimator who wants to take ownership — someone capable of establishing structure, driving performance, and influencing strategic growth.
The Opportunity
You will:
• Establish and lead a formal Estimating Department
• Introduce structure, systems and modern best practice
• Take ownership of tender strategy and bid performance
• Influence profitability and commercial direction
• Work directly with senior leadership
• Create scalable processes for long-term growth
This role has genuine scope to evolve into a senior leadership position within the business.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Preparing and overseeing accurate, competitive tender submissions
• Reviewing drawings, specifications and contract documents in detail
• Identifying commercial risk and opportunity
• Building strong subcontractor and supply chain relationships
• Improving tender win rates through data-driven analysis
• Supporting market expansion and framework opportunities
This is hands-on. Strategic. Visible. Influential.
What They’re Looking For
• Proven background in construction estimating
• Experience across refurbishment / public sector / mixed-use projects
• Strong technical and contractual understanding
• Confident communicator — comfortable at board level
• Ambitious — with clear leadership aspirations
You might currently be a Senior Estimator frustrated by lack of progression.
You might already be leading tenders but not recognised strategically.
You might want more influence than your current business allows.
Why This Role Stands Out
âœ”ï¸ Opportunity to build something from the ground up
âœ”ï¸ Direct exposure to directors and strategic decision-making
âœ”ï¸ Clear progression into senior management
âœ”ï¸ Established business with strong staff retention
âœ”ï¸ Long-term stability with growth ambition
