Senior Estimator | Bid Manager | Main Contractor | Super Prime Residential | London
Are you the right candidate for this opportunity Make sure to read the full description below.
Package up to £120,000 basic p/a, bonus, car allowance & full benefits package
We are seeking an exceptional Pre-Construction Director from an Estimating background to lead and elevate the front end of some of Londons most technically demanding Super Prime Residential projects, with values typically between £10m to £100m+
From deep multi-level basements and complex structural works to retained faades, heritage refurbishments, and high-spec new builds, this is a role at the heart of architect-led, detail-driven construction.
The Role
As the Bid Director, you will own and lead all pre-construction and estimation activities across negotiated, two-stage and competitive tenders.
You will:
- Define procurement, package and risk strategies aligned to complex project constraints
- Lead estimating, cost planning, prelims strategy and early programming
- Interrogate buildability, logistics and sequencing from day one
- Drive structured value engineering
- Act as the senior commercial and technical voice in client presentations and interviews
- Ensure disciplined, structured handover into delivery teams
The Ideal Candidate
You will bring:
- Senior Estimating and pre-construction leadership within a UK main contractor
- Proven experience as an Estimator tendering for complex, high-end residential or similarly intricate schemes
- Strong commercial judgement balanced with real buildability insight
- Confidence leading client presentations and tender interviews
- The ability to operate decisively in a lean, entrepreneurial environment
- Boutique xbpsjku or mid-tier main contractors delivering architect-led project
What This Role Is Not
- A back-office estimating function
- A volume housing position
- A purely commercial role without technical depth
- A seat for someone uncomfortable owning risk
If you are motivated by technically demanding projects and early-stage strategic influence and you want to shape some of Londons most ambitious residential developments this is a defining opportunity. Please upload your CV below Quoting the reference: Senior Estimator JP1016B
