Estimator / Senior Estimator – The Company

A highly regarded, well-run main contractor with a strong reputation in the fast-track refurbishment and interior fit-out space. The business is growing steadily, wins repeat work, and is genuinely known as a great place to work. Low churn, sensible leadership, and a supportive commercial and pre-construction team.
