Step into a role where your specialist estimating expertise is truly valued. My client is offering an opportunity to join a respected, family-style contractor delivering bespoke, high-quality projects across Cambridgeshire — from complex laboratory refits to distinctive university refurbishments and developments.
This is your chance to be part of a company where craftsmanship and collaboration come first. As a growing business, my client combines the professionalism of a larger contractor with the warmth and agility of a family-run firm — giving you the freedom to shape projects, influence decisions, and see the tangible results of your work.
In this Senior Estimator position, you’ll lead the pricing of a variety of technically challenging, one-of-a-kind projects. You’ll prepare accurate, thoughtful estimates and work closely with project managers and the leadership team to develop smart, competitive bids that reflect quality and innovation. Every project offers the opportunity to apply your experience in specialist environments — particularly laboratory spaces and academic buildings — while broadening your commercial and technical expertise.
This role is ideal for an estimator who enjoys variety and thrives in a detail-driven, bespoke environment. If you take pride in understanding client needs, crafting tailored solutions, and seeing complex projects come to life, this could be the perfect next step.
What’s in it for you:
- Competitive salary of £55,000 – £60,000, depending on experience
- 28 days holiday (including bank holidays), increasing with length of service
- Supportive, family-run culture where your voice and ideas matter
- Opportunities for progression within a growing, forward-thinking contractor
- Involvement in prestigious, bespoke projects across Cambridgeshire
If you’re an experienced estimator who wants to play a key role in unique, technically interesting projects — and be part of a company that truly appreciates your contribution — we’d love to hear from you.
