Overview

We are working with a well-established and growing contractor specialising in the fit-out of healthcare facilities. With an annual turnover of approximately £30m, the business offers a stable environment alongside genuine opportunities for progression.

They are now looking to appoint a Junior Estimator to join their commercial team. This role goes beyond traditional estimating — they are seeking someone dynamic, commercially aware, and confident engaging with clients.

The Role

As a Junior Estimator, you will support the pricing and tendering of healthcare fit-out projects ranging from £100k to £5m.

  • Assisting with the preparation of cost estimates and tenders for healthcare fit-out projects

  • Reviewing drawings, specifications, and project documentation

  • Supporting the pricing of labour, materials, subcontractors, and preliminaries

  • Engaging with supply chain and subcontractors for pricing information

  • Attending meetings and contributing to client presentations when required

  • Working collaboratively with the wider commercial and delivery teams

About You

  • Junior-level estimating experience within construction or fit-out (healthcare experience desirable but not essential)

  • Commercially minded with the ability to think beyond standard BOQ-based estimating

  • Confident, presentable, and comfortable communicating with clients and stakeholders

  • Proactive, adaptable, and keen to develop within a growing business

  • Able to commute to Halifax on a daily basis

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary of £35,000 – £45,000 per annum

  • Exposure to varied and interesting healthcare projects

  • Clear progression opportunities within a growing contractor

  • Supportive team environment with hands-on mentoring
