Job Description

General Building EstimatorOffice based - South East London Site visits across London & the South East£38,000 - £50,000

Premier Recruitment Group are recruiting for a General Building Estimator to join a well established and growing commercial team delivering refurbishment, fit out and infrastructure projects within live environments including airports, railway stations and occupied commercial buildings.

This is a varied estimating role suited to someone with around three to five years of experience who is confident pricing across multiple disciplines. You will be responsible for producing complete turnkey estimates covering builders works, M&E packages, fit out and finishes, rather than working within a single trade.

The position is predominantly office based in South East London, with site visits across London and the South East as required.

Key duties will include:

  • Preparing accurate and competitive estimates across full project scope
  • Reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documents across all disciplines
  • Producing bills of quantities using Cubit, Bluebeam or similar software
  • Pricing works in live, access restricted and out of hours environments
  • Producing small works and variation quotations directly with project and site teams
  • Managing subcontractor and supplier enquiries across all trade packages
  • Supporting variation accounts and final accounts on live projects
  • Liaising with clients, consultants and subcontractors throughout the tender process
  • Identifying value engineering opportunities and commercial risks

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Three to five years construction estimating experience
  • Strong knowledge of general builders works, fit out and some exposure to M&E
  • The ability to price full turnkey packages across multiple disciplines
  • Experience using take off and estimating software such as Cubit or Bluebeam
  • Confidence producing quotations without a full tender pack
  • The ability to read and interpret drawings independently
  • Strong Excel and Word skills
  • A full, clean driving licence

This role offers excellent exposure to complex projects in high profile live environments and a clear route into senior commercial positions as the business continues to grow.
