About the Opportunity
Hatched Talent Solutions is representing a leading fit-out and refurbishment contractor seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to take ownership of their estimating function and lead a small, capable team.
This is a hands‑on, leadership‑level role with a company that specialises in transforming spaces and places — delivering high‑quality refurbishments, fit‑outs and repurposing projects rather than new builds. Typical project values range from £200k to £3m, covering commercial, leisure, education and residential environments.
If you’re an experienced Estimator ready to manage a team and bring structure, commercial acumen and leadership to a growing business, this is an opportunity to make a tangible impact.
The Role
As the Senior Estimator, you will:
- Lead and manage a small estimating team, setting priorities, deadlines and quality standards.
- Take ownership of tender enquiries, pricing and bid submissions from concept through to handover.
- Prepare and present fully costed tender packages, incorporating build costs, preliminaries, fees and value‑engineering options.
- Oversee subcontractor tender returns, comparisons and market pricing analysis.
- Coordinate all estimating activities to ensure deadlines and deliverables are met.
- Collaborate closely with commercial, operations and business development teams to strengthen process efficiency and bid quality.
- Mentor and develop team members, encouraging growth and accountability.
- Liaise directly with clients, consultants and supply chain partners to clarify scope and negotiate terms.
- Attend project handovers, providing insight and continuity to the delivery team.
About You
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has proven experience as an Estimator or Senior Estimator within fit‑out, refurbishment or design & build environments.
- Is comfortable managing both people and process — leading by example and maintaining high commercial standards.
- Brings experience delivering tenders typically between £500k and £3m.
- Understands the full tender lifecycle and is confident running multiple bids simultaneously.
- Adopts a flexible, proactive working style — someone equally effective in the office, at home or with clients on‑site.
- Communicates with confidence, builds relationships easily and thrives in a collaborative culture.
- Car Allowance: £5,000 (or EV Salary Sacrifice scheme)
- Pension & healthcare options
- Flexible hybrid working
- Supportive, modern working environment with genuine work‑life balance
