• Liaise with clients, surveyors and main contractors to resolve queries and follow up submissions.

• Work with the Director to agree margins and commercial terms before submission.

• Hand over secured projects to the Contracts Manager with clear budgets, scope and supporting information.

• Maintain pricing records and use feedback from completed projects to improve future estimates.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Experience estimating roofing projects, ideally across both pitched and flat roofing.

• A sound understanding of roofing systems, construction methods and material specifications.

• Confidence reading drawings, measuring quantities and preparing detailed cost breakdowns.

• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to identify missing information and potential costs.

• Good organisation, clear communication and the ability to manage several tenders at once.

• Confidence using Excel and digital estimating tools.

• A full UK driving licence for site visits.

Experience with commercial refurbishment projects, liquid waterproofing and built-up felt systems would be an advantage.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary reflecting your experience and ability.
