  • Review tender documentation, Bills of Quantities, supply chain inputs, and external consultant data.
  • Provide technical, commercial, and risk support through the tender process.
  • Attend site visits, presentations, and handover meetings as required.
  • Mentor and support junior estimating staff while promoting continuous improvement.

Who You Are

  • Proven ability to support and manage framework bids and renewals.
  • A track record of mentoring more junior staff and leading aspects of the bidding process.
  • Excellent attention to detail, communication skills and strong team-working behaviours.
  • Benefits & Perks

  • Health Cash Plan
  • Health & wellbeing support
  • Private medical insurance options
  • Company car scheme or allowance
  • Enhanced parental leave
