The Company


Boyd Recruitment are working on behalf of a leading construction contractor with over 20 years of experience delivering high-quality projects across the public and private sectors. From complex NHS ward refurbishments and CAT A commercial fit-outs to bespoke design-and-build solutions and specialist environments, our client pride themselves on delivering on time, on budget with an unbroken safety record. Their reputation is built on long-standing client relationships and repeat business, achieved through meticulous planning, collaboration, and attention to detail.

What You’ll Do
As an Estimator, you will play a pivotal role in shaping bids and proposals across a wide variety of projects — from healthcare and education facilities to commercial and specialist builds. You will:

  • Prepare accurate and competitive cost estimates for projects ranging up to £10m.

  • Analyse tender documents, specifications, and drawings to develop comprehensive bill of quantities and cost plans.

  • Liaise with suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams to obtain quotes, validate assumptions, and refine pricing.

  • Support bid submissions and tender presentations, ensuring compliance and value engineering opportunities are highlighted.

  • Collaborate closely with Project Managers, QS professionals, and senior leadership to drive project success from pre-contract through award.

Skills & Experience
We’re looking for someone who brings:

  • Proven estimating experience within construction, ideally across fit-out, refurbishment, and new build sectors.

  • Strong knowledge of construction costing methods, measurement standards, and pricing strategies.

  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex technical information.

  • Proficiency with estimating software and MS Office suite.

  • Outstanding communication skills and an ability to build strong stakeholder relationships.

What's on offer

  • Be part of a trusted and growing contractor with a strong pipeline of repeat business and frameworks.

  • Work on varied and challenging projects with opportunities for professional growth.

  • Competitive salary, ongoing training, and supportive team culture invested in your success.

  • Make a real impact — your work will help shape projects that matter, including NHS and community spaces.
