Junior Estimator / Buyer - Construction Main Contractor
Salary: Temp to Perm - £40,000 - £60,000
Location: Gravesend, Kent
Position: Full time employee
Our client, who has been an established contractor for 15 years, operates across refurbishment, fit-out, and new-build schemes throughout London and the Home Counties. They deliver projects in the leisure, education, retail, healthcare, and housing sectors. Due to the pipeline of work in 2025, they are recruiting for a Junior Estimator/Buyer to join the team. You must have experience working in the refurbishment and new build sector, ideally with a main contractor, although they are open to candidates from a sub-contractor background who are willing to learn.
Duties:
Estimating
* Able to quantify sub contractor rates and materials from review of drawings/scope of works, and liaising with supply chains/contractors.
* Able to produce sub contractor tender packages along with material schedules.
Procurement
* Good knowledge of building materials, supply chains, and sub contractor purchase ordering.
* Good knowledge of hired plant and supply chains.
* Experience using purchase order/invoicing systems.
We're looking for someone versatile, who can cross over between estimating and procurement, and accommodate other standard office duties such as booking parking for site vehicles. A strong junior with ambition to prove themselves is ideal.
