This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Demolition Estimator to join a long-established contractor experiencing significant growth across the UK. With strong progression potential and the chance to build and eventually head up the estimating function, this role offers real long-term career value. Do you have proven experience estimating demolition projects or a background in demolition focused QS work? Are you confident working through tenders methodically and producing accurate cost evaluations? Do you want to join a supportive, growing contractor where you can shape your own department over time?

This contractor has been operating for nearly four decades, delivering projects ranging from small structures to large high-rise demolition schemes, valued between £50k and £4m.

This is a fantastic career move for a driven professional who wants to make a tangible impact within a growing business, benefit from strong support, and progress towards heading up the Estimating department.

The Role:

• Lead tender submissions from initial enquiry through completion
• Visit sites to review scope and requirements

• Create initial programmes and prepare supporting documents
• Support wider business growth through efficient, accurate estimating

The Person:

• Strong maths and analytical skills
• Proficient in Excel
• Methodical, thorough, and able to work independently
• Confident communicator with strong commercial awareness
