ProGroup Recruitment is working exclusively with an established national fire safety contractor to recruit a commercially focused Passive Fire Estimator to join their growing pre-construction team. This is not a traditional desk-based estimating role. We're looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, understanding projects from the outset and working closely with clients throughout the tender and quotation process.

You'll ideally have experience of: • Passive fire estimating (fire doors, fire stopping and compartmentation), • Client-facing estimating or pre-construction roles, • Social housing or refurbishment projects, • Reading drawings, specifications and survey information, • Commercial negotiation and pricing strategy, • Site visits and customer meetings Additional knowledge of wider construction packages such as drylining, AOVs or subcontract management would be advantageous but isn't essential. Salary: The business is flexible depending on experience. • £50,000-£60,000 for an experienced passive fire estimator., • Up to £75,000 for an established commercial estimator with an existing network, proven client relationships and the ability to generate opportunities. What's on offer: • Hybrid working (office preferred with flexibility of 2- to 3-days per week from home for the right individual), • Opportunity to join a well-established and growing national business, • Investment in innovative AI-driven estimating technology, • Strong pipeline of secured work, • Genuine opportunity to influence the commercial success of the business, • Long-term career progression within a growing group
