Estimator / QS - Joinery

I’m currently working exclusively with a well-established carpentry & joinery contractor who is looking to bring on an Estimator / Quantity Surveyor due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of secured work.

This is a key role within the business, managing multiple projects while also supporting estimating and tendering when capacity allows.

The Role:

• Preparing accurate cost estimates and managing budgets across multiple projects
• Measuring and valuing works on-site, including interim valuations and final accounts
• Procuring materials and subcontractors in line with programme and budget
• Running up to 5 projects at one time (£250k – £2m)
• Liaising with clients, site teams, and internal departments to ensure smooth delivery
• Monitoring costs, identifying risks, and reporting on variations
• Supporting estimating and tendering activities when required

What I’m Looking For:

• Proven experience as a Quantity Surveyor within carpentry & joinery (essential)
• Must come from a subcontractor background – no main contractor experience only
• Strong understanding of joinery manufacturing and installation processes
• Hands-on carpentry/joinery background is highly desirable
• Solid commercial awareness and strong negotiation skills
• Organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously

What’s On Offer:

• £60,000 – £75,000 salary depending on experience
• Long-term opportunity with a growing, stable contractor
• Genuine autonomy within the role
• Excellent benefits package including:
  • Workplace nursery scheme (tax-efficient childcare)
  • Store discounts across hundreds of retailers
  • Grocery and pension salary sacrifice schemes
• Flexible working hours (7:30–4:30 or 8:00–5:00)

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, or you know someone who fits the bill, feel free to get in touch.
