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. The work is varied, the judgement is yours, and the pace is sensible.This search is managed by The Opportunity Hub UK. To discuss the role or arrange an introduction, get in touch.....Read more...
