Estimator - Bespoke Projects
Leicester
You know your joinery. You understand drawings. And you know how to turn an opportunity into a profitable project.
If that sounds like you, this could be a very good move.
We're working with an established bespoke joinery business delivering high-value projects for a diverse client base, and they're looking for an experienced Estimator to join the team.
This isn't a role where you simply price a set of drawings and send out a quote.
You'll be involved from tender through to handover, helping win work, build client relationships and make sure projects start on the right commercial footing.
What you'll be doing
Estimating costs and preparing accurate quotations across bespoke joinery projects
Producing detailed tender and quotation proposals, including the supporting financial information
Reading and interpreting drawings, specifications and tender documentation
Managing the tender process and keeping opportunities moving
Proactively following up clients for feedback and updates
Building strong relationships with prospective clients, suppliers and internal teams
Understanding the commercial position of projects with values up to £750k
Keeping project and quotation information accurate within the ERP system
Coordinating project handovers with the Project Manager and BuyerWhat we're looking for
You'll ideally have experience in joinery estimating, project management or a closely related role within the joinery industry.
More importantly, you'll be commercially aware, detail-focused and confident dealing with people.
You need to be someone who can look at a drawing and understand what needs to be built, what it is likely to cost and what questions need asking before a price goes out.
You'll also need the confidence to pick up the phone, chase an opportunity and build relationships rather than simply waiting for clients to come back to you.
Why consider it?
You'll be joining a business working on bespoke, high-value joinery projects, giving you the opportunity to develop your estimating and commercial experience across a varied project portfolio.
If you're currently an Estimator looking for a stronger opportunity - or you're a Joinery Project Manager who wants to move further into estimating and commercial responsibility - this is worth a conversation.
