Senior Estimator
At A.C. Whyte & Co. Ltd, we don't just price projects — we price possibility. As a leader in energy efficiency and large-scale refurbishment, we're trusted by clients to deliver transformational work that makes homes warmer, safer, and more sustainable. We're now looking for a Senior Estimator to lead our pricing and pre-construction function, playing a pivotal role in shaping the success of our bids and the future of our pipeline.
Why this role?
Because this is your chance to be part of a company that:
- Empowers change in the communities we work with
- Values expertise and gives you space to lead with confidence
- Builds long-term relationships based on trust, collaboration, and performance
You'll work closely with our pre construction team and operational leads to ensure our pricing is sharp, competitive, and aligned with our uncompromising standards.
What you'll be doing
- Leading the preparation of accurate, commercially sound cost estimates and tender submissions
- Support in the management of pre-construction processes across a range of public sector refurbishment and energy efficiency projects
- Reviewing tender documentation and developing cost plans and methodologies
- Working with internal stakeholders to identify risks, innovations, and value-engineering opportunities
- Coordinating supplier and subcontractor pricing
- Presenting tender strategies and outcomes to senior leadership
- Helping mentor and develop junior team members
What we're looking for
We're after a strategic thinker and a detail-driven professional — a confident estimator with sharp commercial instincts, deep industry knowledge, and the drive to deliver work that stands up to scrutiny and makes a real impact.
You'll bring:
- Proven experience as an Estimator or Senior Estimator in construction/refurbishment
- A solid understanding of housing retrofit, refurbishment or social housing frameworks
- Strong analytical and technical ability — plus clear written and verbal communication
- Experience working with estimating software and Excel
- A proactive mindset and the confidence to challenge assumptions
- The ability to work autonomously and collaboratively in a high-trust environment
Why join A.C. Whyte?
Because we're not just pricing jobs — we're building lasting legacies. We take pride in our workmanship, we care about the people behind the projects, and we deliver with integrity. You'll be joining a team that's small enough for your voice to be heard — and strong enough to deliver projects that make a difference.
What we offer
- Competitive salary (based on experience)
- Annual bonus scheme
- 34 days holiday (with increases based on service)
- Company pension (5% employer contribution)
- Hybrid working
- Colleague referral scheme
- Opportunities to grow your role and shape the future of our commercial team
