Estimating/Tender Support Coordinator

This role is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build their experience in estimating and tender support within the construction and fabrication industry, gaining exposure to architectural metalwork projects and end-to-end tendering processes.

Duties and Responsibilities:

As an Estimating/Tender Support Coordinator, you will be responsible in supporting the estimating team by conducting material take-offs, quantity measurements, and bill of quantities from architectural drawings, preparing tender submissions, and coordinating supplier RFQs for pricing. The role also involves assisting in scope reviews, document control, and fast-paced tender delivery for commercial aluminium and steel fabrication projects, with the ability to handle multiple bids and support accurate, timely cost estimates.

• Material take-offs from architectural drawings.
• Quantity measuring.
• Tender preparation support.
• Supplier RFQ preparation.
• Scope reviews and document control.
• Assisting estimating team with submissions.
• High-volume workload management, handling multiple tenders simultaneously (approximately 20–30 projects per month)
• Fast turnaround execution, supporting urgent and time-sensitive tender submissions
• Daily coordination with suppliers for pricing inputs and commercial clarification
• Focus on commercial project types such as façade systems, aluminium works, and architectural metal components (louvers, handrails, etc.)
• Application of prior industry experience (not training-heavy role), requiring strong baseline knowledge in construction estimating
• Progressive involvement in end-to-end estimating support with potential pathway toward full estimator responsibilities
• Contribution to output efficiency and tender performance metrics (volume, consistency, and commercial accuracy)

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in construction estimating, quantity surveying, or related technical roles.
• Experience in construction, fit-out, glass, façade, or architectural/metal fabrication industries.
• Strong background in quantity take-offs and preparation of material estimates (residential or commercial projects acceptable).
• Proficiency in Bluebeam (primary requirement) with working knowledge of AutoCAD (acceptable alternative).
• Strong skills in Excel for estimating, measurements, and cost analysis.
• Experience working with tendering, cost planning, and construction documentation.
• Ability to interpret architectural and engineering drawings accurately.
• Detail-oriented with strong analytical and numerical skills.
