• Good communication, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills
• Ability to manage multiple tenders and work effectively to deadlines

An HNC/HND or equivalent qualification in Construction, Quantity Surveying, Engineering or a related discipline would be advantageous, although relevant industry experience is equally important.

You will get

As Glazing Estimator, you will enjoy a competitive package including:

• £45,000 - £50,000 salary, dependent on experience
• Benefits package
• Ringwood/Bournemouth area location
• Opportunity to join a new and developing South Coast operation
