Job description

Estimator - Bespoke Joinery

£50,000 - £60,000 DOE + Progression + Hybrid + Training + Benefits

Hybrid, commutable from Derby, Uttoxeter, Stoke-on-Trent, Burton upon Trent, Matlock

Are you an Estimator looking to join a growing business, with a full order book, high-end projects, a competitive package, clear scope to progress and the flexibility that hybrid work brings?

This is an opportunity to become a key commercial hire within a high-end joinery manufacturer, estimating bespoke exterior projects from enquiry through to handover.

This company are well established and have a great reputation for the quality of their products and service. They specialise in Bespoke Exterior Joinery, alongside heritage restoration, commercial fit-out and interior projects. Following a recent acquisition and significant investment, the business has ambitious growth plans and are looking towards a bright future.

As a Senior Estimator, you’ll take ownership of preparing accurate quotations for manufacture. You’ll assess drawings, specifications and site information; build up labour, material and subcontract costs; and work closely with design, production and commercial teams to ensure projects are both commercially viable and practical to deliver.

This would suit either a mid weight Estimator looking to progress or a Senior Estimator looking to support improvements across systems and commercial processes, as the business grows.

The Role

• Estimate bespoke exterior joinery projects
• Review drawings and specifications to produce accurate costings
• Work with suppliers, design and production teams throughout the tender process
• Support project handovers and improve estimating processes

The Person

• Estimating experience within bespoke joinery or similar
• Experience pricing work for manufacture - not for example a generic door supplier
• Happy to travel to the office 3 days a week
