The construction division delivers regional projects across a wide range of sectors, with contract values typically up to £250m. Larger projects are delivered through a dedicated strategic projects team. The business has a strong presence in the public sector, with over 70% of work secured through Government departments, frameworks and long-term client relationships, alongside a growing portfolio of private sector projects.

  • Healthcare
  • Defence
  • Custodial
  • Aviation
  • Bioscience


Key Responsibilities

  • Support the generation of tenders by preparing accurate cost estimates and resource requirements.
  • Guide junior members of the estimating team by promoting best practice.
  • Support the successful winning of contracts while minimising risk and maximising profitability.
  • Assess, prepare, validate, adjudicate and submit tenders.
  • Negotiate with suppliers and subcontractors to secure competitive quotations.
  • Support value engineering initiatives throughout the tender process.
  • Liaise with design, planning, commercial and bid management teams.
  • Produce accurate cost estimates to meet or exceed client requirements.
  • Build and maintain strong commercial relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, suppliers and subcontractors throughout the tender process.
  • Participate in project handovers to procurement, commercial and project delivery teams.
  • Identify and coordinate internal and external resources required for tenders.
  • Produce regular reports and forecasting information.
  • Use proprietary take-off software to measure quantities and prepare cost plans.
  • Produce cost plans to support early client engagement and budget validation.
  • Experience Required
  • Experience working for a Main Contractor, ideally Tier 2 or above.
  • Experience using Excel, take-off software and estimating systems such as Conquest.
  • Experience independently tendering projects through single-stage, two-stage and negotiated procurement routes.
  • Strong commercial awareness with excellent attention to detail.
  • A conscientious and methodical approach to work.


Behaviours


The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to:


  • Communicate clearly, openly and effectively with colleagues.
  • Encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing across teams.
  • Support and develop junior team members.
  • Build strong relationships internally and externally.
  • Promote a positive and proactive approach to health and safety.
  • Understand the wider impact of construction on communities and the environment.
  • Foster an inclusive working environment where diversity of thought, background and experience is valued.
  • Encourage team wellbeing and recognise success while promoting continuous learning.
