A strong commercial mindset, sharp analytical ability, and confidence to question assumptions are all important.

What the role offers

You will be involved in complex, high-value tenders where your input has a real effect on business decisions and project outcomes. If you want a position where accurate estimating contributes directly to winning work and driving growth, this role is designed for that kind of impact.
