About the role

An exciting opportunity exists for an experienced Bid Estimator to join a high-performing Business Development team. This role will be responsible for developing accurate pricing, labour, resource, and financial models that support competitive tender submissions and commercial decision-making. Working closely with operational, commercial, and finance stakeholders, you will play a key role in delivering profitable and sustainable service solutions across a diverse portfolio of contracts.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop and maintain pricing, labour, resource, and financial models for tenders, renewals, and repricing activities.
• Analyse client requirements, site information, and operational inputs to create commercially viable service solutions.
• Identify commercial risks, cost drivers, and optimisation opportunities, providing recommendations to key stakeholders.
• Conduct site inspections and scope assessments to validate requirements and gather critical estimating information.
• Collaborate with Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, and Business Development teams to ensure accurate and compliant bid submissions
