With ambitious growth plans and a reputation for excellence, this is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving business and play a key role in our continued success with genuine long-term career prospects.
About the Role
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Pitched Roof Estimator to take ownership of the tendering process for our pitched roofing projects — from initial enquiry through to securing the purchase order.

- Build and maintain strong client relationships to encourage repeat business opportunities.
- Provide clear and detailed handovers to the Project Delivery Team to ensure smooth contract execution.

- Knowledge of roofing systems, including tiles, slates, and leadwork, would be an advantage.
- Confident and professional communicator.
- Commercially astute, well-organised, and able to work effectively to deadlines.
- Self-motivated with excellent attention to detail and accuracy
