Estimator, Leeds

I'm working in partnership with a leading name in the UK housing sector to appoint an experienced Estimator to join their growing commercial team.

This isn't your typical "sit behind a desk pricing tenders" role.

You'll be part of a business that operates as both a developer and main contractor, giving you exposure to a wider range of projects and the opportunity to play a key role in shaping schemes from early-stage through to delivery.

The Role
You'll be responsible for producing accurate and competitive cost estimates across a variety of residential developments, while also playing a more strategic, client-facing role than you might be used to.

This includes:

• Preparing detailed cost plans, budgets, and tender submissions
• Working closely with land, design, and delivery teams
• Attending and contributing to client and board-level presentations
• Supporting new business opportunities and bid strategy
• Providing commercial insight at pre-construction stage

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as an Estimator within residential development or main contracting
• Strong understanding of UK construction methods, materials, and pricing
• Ability to communicate confidently with both internal teams and external stakeholders
• Commercially astute with a proactive approach
• Someone who wants more than just a "numbers" role

Why This Role?

• Opportunity to work for a well-established, reputable business with strong backing
• Exposure to both contracting and development projects
• A more engaging, client-facing position than a traditional estimating role
• Clear progression opportunities as the business continues to grow

If you're an Estimator looking to step into a broader, more commercially involved role, this is well worth a conversation.
