Estimating Management Trainee Programme

Are you a forward thinker? Want to help us win multi-million-pound contracts? Then our Estimator Management Programme might be the right pathway for you.

Researching materials, equipment and labour costs
Gathering quotes from sub-contractors and suppliers
Assessing the levels of risk on a project
