Estimator

RG Setsquare
Leeds
money-bag £50000 - £65000/annum
Posted: 05 May 2026 (1 week ago)
Closing date: 04 June 2026
Ref: 225063702

I''m working in partnership with a leading name in the UK housing sector to appoint an experienced Estimator to join their growing commercial team.

This isn''t your typical "sit behind a desk pricing tenders" role.

You''ll be part of a business that operates as both a developer and main contractor, giving you exposure to a wider range of projects and the opportunity to play a key role in shaping schemes from early-stage through to delivery.

The Role
You''ll be responsible for producing accurate and competitive cost estimates across a variety of residential developments, while also playing a more strategic, client-facing role than you might be used to.

This includes:

  • Preparing detailed cost plans, budgets, and tender submissions
  • Working closely with land, design, and delivery teams
  • Attending and contributing to client and board-level presentations
  • Supporting new business opportunities and bid strategy
  • Providing commercial insight at pre-construction stage

What We''re Looking For

  • Proven experience as an Estimator within residential development or main contracting
  • Strong understanding of UK construction methods, materials, and pricing
  • Ability to communicate confidently with both internal teams and external stakeholders
  • Commercially astute with a proactive approach
  • Someone who wants more than just a "numbers" role

Why This Role?

  • Opportunity to work for a well-established, reputable business with strong backing
  • Exposure to both contracting and development projects
  • A more engaging, client-facing position than a traditional estimating role
  • Clear progression opportunities as the business continues to grow

If you''re an Estimator looking to step into a broader, more commercially involved role, this is well worth a conversation.

RG Setsquare is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
