Edinburgh | Commercial Office & Hospitality Fit-Out

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Estimator to join a well-established SME fit-out and interiors contractor based in Edinburgh, operating across Edinburgh and the Central Belt.

Key responsibilities include:

• Preparing detailed estimates and cost plans from drawings and specifications
• Working closely with design teams during early-stage feasibility and value engineering
• Subcontractor enquiries, analysis and procurement
• Attending pre-tender and post-tender meetings
• Supporting handover to project delivery teams
• Identifying risk and commercial opportunities within bids

• Strong understanding of commercial office and/or hospitality projects
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced SME environment
• Commercially astute with strong attention to detail
• Confident communicator able to work closely with clients, designers and subcontractors
• Ambitious and motivated, with a desire to progress into a senior or leadership role

What’s on Offer

• Key role within a growing, ambitious SME
• Clear, planned progression aligned to the business’s 2026 growth strategy
• Exposure to high-quality, design-led fit-out projects
• Supportive, close-knit team environment
• Competitive salary and package, dependent on experience

If you’re an Estimator who wants more involvement, visibility and a genuine career pathway — not just another estimating role — I’d be keen to speak with you.
