They are looking for an Estimator or Senior Estimator to join their close-knit team based on the North East London / Essex border.

Subcontractor Liaison: Sourcing, vetting, and negotiating with a trusted supply chain
Value Engineering: Identifying clever ways to save the client money without sacrificing quality
Site Visits: Getting out from behind the desk to understand the physical constraints of a project
