Estimator - RC Frames + Groundworks - Central London

Estimator / Senior Estimator
Reinforced Concrete (RC) Frame & Groundwork Subcontractor
About the Employer - Central London Based:
Having been established for over 30 years within the specialist field of concrete frames and groundworks, this business is, without doubt, one of the leading names within this field. Current turnover is over £100m per annum, and they have consistently worked at the cutting edge of the sector to be one of the best at what they do. They currently complete packages ranging in value from £10m up to £100m each on a mixture of residential, commercial, educational, and leisure projects throughout the London area and further around the UK.
This business prides itself on its high repeat business rate and its in-house capability to take complex projects from design through to completion. I would highly recommend this business as a polished environment where individuals can grow and flourish working on some of the best and most iconic projects in and around London. And it is worth pointing out that I have never had anyone decide to leave this business in their first 12 months after joining, which shows have stable and successful this company is.

How to Apply:
I am more than happy to discuss this opportunity with people over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner. This is an incestuous sector, and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete.
