£85,000-95,000 plus associated benefits Some estimating roles drain your time. This one amplifies your impact. You'll be joining a privately owned design & build main contractor based in Bromsgrove - stepping into a collaborative, well supported pre construction environment where specialists handle the heavy measurement, and you focus on strategy, pricing and winning the right work. This is a Senior Estimator role where your judgement genuinely shapes outcomes. You'll work closely with the Managing Director - who remains hands on around earthworks - alongside design managers and QSs, bringing commercial clarity across a strong pipeline of negotiated projects. While consultants produce the Bills of Quantities and cut and fill models, you'll stay deeply involved in pricing and analysis - reviewing quantities, interrogating subcontractor returns and shaping the final commercial position. So the work stays technical and influential, without being consumed by pure measurement. And because a high proportion of work is negotiated, you're not just chasing the lowest price. You're helping secure the right projects with a close knit, trusted supply chain - making pricing more collaborative, more accurate and more rewarding. What you'll do Lead pricing, risk and bid strategy across a range of tenders Analyse BoQs and earthworks outputs provided by consultants Shape commercially robust proposals and value driven solutions Work closely with design, commercial and senior leadership teams Support strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners What you'll need Senior estimating experience within a main contractor Confidence influencing pricing and bid direction Strong commercial and analytical skills Experience in design & build environments A collaborative, relationship focused approach About the company This is a contractor built on long term relationships, repeat business and delivery consistency. They invest in specialist pre construction support to reduce risk and improve certainty - allowing their estimators to focus on high value decision making. You'll join a close knit team with direct access to leadership, minimal red tape and the autonomy to make a real impact. And for the right person, they're prepared to offer a highly attractive salary and package. If you prefer shaping winning strategy over firefighting tenders, this role puts you back where you do your best work.
