Ambitious estimator wanted to shape the growth of a technology-driven London main contractor specialising in complex refurbishments. The commercial refurbishment and retrofit sector in London continues to accelerate, with ageing building stock creating sustained demand for contractors who understand the intricacies of cut and carve works in occupied and heritage-sensitive environments. For estimators who thrive on getting under the skin of a project, understanding build sequences, and leveraging strong supply chain relationships, this is exactly the kind of business where your expertise will directly influence growth. Company Overview This award-winning London main contractor was founded in 2023 and has rapidly established itself as a specialist in complex refurbishments, retrofit projects, and high-specification fit-outs across commercial, residential, and public sector environments. Based in Fitzrovia, the business delivers projects ranging from £50k minor works to £10m+ complex schemes for clients including London boroughs, institutional landlords, and private developers. With ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications already in place and a commitment to net-zero carbon by 2030, this is a contractor that takes quality, sustainability, and governance seriously. The business is currently operating at approximately £15m turnover and actively scaling, meaning the right estimator will be joining at a genuinely pivotal moment. The Opportunity This Senior Estimator position in London sits within the pre-construction team, reporting directly to the Pre-Construction Lead. The business currently has one estimator in place and needs a capable, experienced professional who can step in and own significant packages independently whilst leading full tender submissions on smaller projects up to £1.5m. This is not a back-office number-crunching role. The successful candidate will be expected to bring established subcontractor relationships, market rate intelligence, and a genuine understanding of how projects are built, not just how they are priced. Here's what you'll be doing:Preparing detailed cost plans, trade package estimates, and cost build-ups for commercial refurbishment and retrofit projects across LondonLeading or significantly contributing to full tender submissions, managing the process from initial enquiry through to final documentationCarrying out take-offs, cost comparisons, and clarifications, ensuring accuracy and competitiveness across all submissionsIdentifying value engineering opportunities and buildability improvements that strengthen bids and protect marginsEngaging directly with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain competitive pricing, leveraging your existing network and market knowledgeContributing to structured tender handovers to the delivery team, working closely with the QS function to ensure commercial realism translates into project successFlagging commercial and procurement risks early, with clear documentation of assumptions and exclusions throughout the estimating processHere are the skills you'll need:5 to 10 years of estimating experience within the commercial refurbishment, cut and carve, or fit-out sector, with strong exposure to projects valued between £500k and £10mDemonstrable experience at a recognised main contractor operating in the £10m to £100m turnover range.An established subcontractor network across key trades relevant to London commercial refurbishment and retrofit worksThorough understanding of build details, construction sequences, and the practical realities of delivering complex refurbishment schemesStrong market rate knowledge and awareness of competitor pricing strategies across the London commercial sectorConfidence in negotiating with supply chain partners and the ability to improve competitiveness through better market intelligenceAbility to operate with limited supervision, taking ownership of packages and managing your own workload effectively within a small, ambitious teamWork Permissions You must have the right to work in the United Kingdom. Visa sponsorship is not available at this time. Key perks and benefits:Competitive salary package of £60,000 to £80,000 depending on experience and capabilityDirect involvement in the growth trajectory of a scaling London contractor with significant ambitionsWorking within a small, agile pre-construction team where your contribution is visible and valued from day oneExposure to a varied project pipeline spanning commercial offices, heritage buildings, residential refurbishments, and public sector schemesA technology-led working environment with genuine investment in modern construction tools and processesClear career progression as the business scales from £15m towards £30m turnover, with the structure and leadership roles to match4 days in office, 1 day WFH if desired Interview process: 30-min Teams call first stage, 1-hour in-office second stage The Construction Estimating Sector Estimating careers in London's commercial refurbishment market have never been more in demand. The combination of ageing commercial building stock, tightening sustainability regulations, and growing retrofit requirements means experienced estimators with genuine supply chain relationships and market knowledge are exceptionally well positioned. For professionals looking to move beyond larger, process-heavy organisations and into a business where they can directly influence growth, pricing strategy, and commercial culture, this kind of opportunity represents a significant career step. The construction estimator job market in London remains highly competitive, and candidates with cut and carve experience at established main contractors will find strong demand for their skills across the Greater London area and beyond.

The opportunityAn established building services contractor is looking for a part-time Estimator to sit at the front end of every project, turning drawings and specifications into accurate, competitive quotations that win work and protect margin. This is a genuine three-day-a-week role, not a full-time job squeezed into fewer hours.What makes this role differentThe workload is built around roughly five to ten enquiries a month, so it suits someone who wants steady, focused work rather than a packed diary. Some weeks run busier than others. You would price predominantly mechanical works from drawings and specifications across commercial construction and fit-out projects, and where it helps, visit site to firm up the numbers.Good estimating here rests on judgement as much as arithmetic. Anyone can apply a standard rate. An experienced estimator knows when two hours on paper is really an hour and a quarter on site, and where a price can safely come down. A great deal of the value is simply knowing where to look.The role would suit an experienced estimator winding down from full-time work who still wants to stay in the game three days a week, or anyone seeking real part-time hours without dropping their standards.What you'll be doingPrice predominantly mechanical works accurately from drawings and specificationsVisit site at tender stage, where the job allows, to inform and firm up your pricingRevisit pricing post-tender, trimming where a site visit or better information allowsPrepare clear, competitive quotations and turn them around promptlyAdvise where a price can and cannot move, and explain the reasoning behind itManage your own workload across the week with minimal supervisionProvide support to the post-tender team to assist in procurementWhat good looks likeAccurate pricing that wins work without leaving margin on the tableQuotations turned around quickly, so the business can move on live enquiriesSound calls on where site knowledge can bring a price down, and where it cannotWhat you'll bringExtensive estimating experience in building services or construction (mechanical, plumbing, fit-out or similar)Ideally a background that came up through the trade, from hands-on work into engineering and then estimating, so you know where real-world costs differ from the book ratesSharp commercial judgement on where margin sits and where a price can be tightenedConfidence working independently and owning your own diaryUK-based, with solid working knowledge of the UK market and UK pricingLocation and working patternThree days a week, with a suggested split of one day in the office for face-to-face review and two days from homeOffice based in the Woodford Green area, ideally within a comfortable commuteFully remote considered for the right person, with the right set-up, as estimating lends itself well to home workingFlexible on exact days and happy to work around the right candidateStart as soon as suitableWhy this one is worth a lookGenuine part-time estimating roles with an established firm are rare. This is steady, respected work that lets an experienced estimator keep their hand in without the full-time grind.
