Estimating Manager

Lead the numbers. Shape the strategy. Secure the future.

Are you an experienced estimator ready to step into a leadership role where your decisions genuinely influence business success?

We’re looking for a commercially astute Estimating Manager to take ownership of the estimating function within a specialist manufacturing environment. This is a pivotal role for someone who enjoys combining technical detail, strategic thinking, and people leadership — and wants to see their work directly impact winning projects and long-term growth.

Why This Role?

• Senior, influential position with real ownership

• Opportunity to shape processes and strategy — not just follow them

• Work on technically challenging, high-value security projects

• Be part of a collaborative, specialist environment where expertise is valued

What You’ll Be Doing

As Estimating Manager, you’ll be responsible for far more than just pricing:

• Lead and develop the estimating team, setting standards, priorities, and best practices

• Own the estimating process from bid review through to final submission

• Work closely with Sales, Design, Production, and Project teams to ensure alignment from bid to delivery

• Oversee supplier and subcontractor pricing, negotiations, and benchmarking

• Identify and manage commercial and technical risk, including compliance with industry standard 

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll likely be someone who:

• Has strong experience in estimating within the building, construction, or fabrication sector

• Is confident leading or mentoring others and taking ownership of outcomes

• Understands UK building/construction regulations and tendering processes inside out

• Is highly analytical, commercially aware, and comfortable making decisions

• Can communicate clearly with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders
