Roofing Estimator

Location: Knowsley, Merseyside

Salary: Highly attractive + Bonus + Additional Benefits

About the Company

Our client delivers industrial and commercial roofing projects, with a particular focus on refurbishment. Working within a small, supportive team, you'll have direct involvement with the Commercial Manager and Contracts Managers, contributing from the initial enquiry through to project handover.

The Role

Reporting to the Commercial Manager, you'll manage the preparation of estimates and tender submissions. The position is primarily office based in Knowsley, with site visits to assess requirements and gather the information needed for accurate pricing.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing drawings, specifications and site information, completing take-offs and producing detailed estimates and bills of quantities.
• Building up material, labour and plant costs, sourcing supplier and subcontractor quotations, and negotiating best value.
• Preparing tender documentation and following up submissions to help convert enquiries into secured work.
• Carrying out site surveys where required, with training available to strengthen your surveying skills.
• Providing clear cost breakdowns and handover information to the contracts team, alongside pricing variations during project delivery.
• Contributing to improvements in estimating spreadsheets and processes, while keeping accurate records and commercial reports.

The Ideal Candidate:

You’ll bring previous roofing estimating experience, a sound understanding of flat roofing systems and the confidence to take ownership of the pricing process.

We’re looking for:

• Practical knowledge of flat roofing and the considerations involved in refurbishment projects.
• An understanding of how existing roof conditions can influence the scope of work, specification and cost.
• The ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications and turn them into clear, accurate quotations.
• Good Excel and Word skills, together with experience using digital take-off software such as Bluebeam.
• Strong organisational skills and clear communication when working with suppliers, colleagues and project teams.

Previous site survey experience would be useful, although a capable estimator looking to develop this part of their skill set will also be considered.

Why this role stands out

This is an opportunity to take a visible role within a close-knit team, with the scope to influence estimating practices and help projects move smoothly from tender to delivery.

The business is offering a very strong compensation package for the right candidate, including:

• A highly attractive salary, reflecting your experience and capability.
• Bonus and additional benefits.
• Company pension, laptop and mobile phone.
• Private health insurance and death in service cover after 12 months' service.
• Opportunities for personal and professional development, including support with site surveying.
