We are looking to add to our busy estimating department and have an opportunity for a Junior/Trainee Estimator.

· Organising and attending site visits with Clients and Sub-contractors

· Ability to multi-task, as you will be required to work across multiple projects at any one time.

You will be required to attend sites to carry out surveys, so a full UK driving licence is essential.

Experience of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel) would be advantageous, and a common-sense approach to information sourcing and problem solving is required.

You must have a proactive attitude to getting involved and have excellent communication skills with the ability to engage with all levels of the business. You should be a hardworking, driven individual with the determination to develop and succeed.
