Assistant Estimator
Bolney, West Sussex
Full-time, Permanent
The Opportunity
A well-established, family-run building contractor based in West Sussex is looking to recruit an Assistant Estimator to join their growing team.
With a heritage spanning over 100 years, the business has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects across Sussex, including new builds, refurbishments, heritage works and local authority schemes.
This is a rare opportunity for an Assistant Estimator looking to build a long-term career in estimating, with structured mentorship and a clearly defined progression path.
The Role
As an Assistant Estimator, you will support the estimating team across a wide range of construction projects, gaining hands-on experience in:
*
Assisting with preparation of cost estimates and tender submissions
*
Reviewing drawings, specifications and project documents
*
Liaising with subcontractors and suppliers for pricing
*
Supporting take-offs and measurement exercises
*
Helping to build accurate and competitive tenders
*
Working closely with experienced estimators and the wider project team
You’ll gain exposure to a diverse project portfolio including heritage restorations, local authority works, and high-end residential builds.
Training & Development
This role is designed as a long-term career pathway:
*
Direct mentorship from two experienced Senior Estimators
*
Structured, hands-on training over a 3–5 year period
*
Full exposure to the estimating function from enquiry to tender submission
*
Clear progression route to leading the estimating department within 5 years
This is an opportunity to genuinely grow into a leadership role, not just remain in a support position.
About You
*
Interest in construction, estimating, or quantity surveying
*
Strong numerical and analytical skills

Good attention to detail
*
Confident communicator with a proactive attitude
*
Ideally some construction knowledge or relevant qualification (not essential)
