Estimator

Calibre Search
Reading, Berkshire
I'm working with a well-established design & build / commercial fit-out business delivering workplace strategy, office relocations, and high-quality interior fit-out schemes across the UK.
They've got a solid pipeline of work and are now looking to bring in a Pre-Con Estimator / Project Manager - someone who can operate across both pre-construction and delivery, and add real value from pricing stage through to project completion.

The Role
Producing estimates, cost plans, and tender submissions for commercial fit-out schemes

Supporting bid strategy with accurate, commercially sound proposals
Managing projects through to delivery, including financial control
Working closely with clients, design teams, and internal delivery teams
Overseeing multiple projects at varying stages and values
Ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to spec

This isn't a pure estimator or a pure PM role we are looking for someone comfortable doing both.
Background in commercial fit-out / construction estimating
Good understanding of pre-construction processes and pricing methodology
Ability to manage projects commercially from inception to completion
Strong client-facing skills able to communicate at all levels
Organised, able to juggle multiple workstreams simultaneously
Experience working with JCT and/or NEC contracts
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Strong reporting skills (both written and verbal)
Proficient across Microsoft packages

The Opportunity
Join a growing, busy fit-out business with a strong reputation
Get exposure to both pre-construction and delivery sides of the business
Work on a range of office fit-out and refurbishment projects nationwide
Genuine long-term role with scope to develop as the business grows
Calibre Search promote equality in the workplace and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified candidates regardless of their sex, race, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age. We act as both an employment agency and employment business
