Hersham
Salary Circa £29,000
Are you looking to kick-start or develop your career within a successful and forward-thinking business?
Our client is looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Estimator to join their friendly commercial team. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Business graduate or someone at the beginning of their commercial career who is looking to develop their skills within a supportive environment. Full training will be provided, so no previous estimating experience is required.
Working alongside experienced colleagues, you'll learn how to prepare quotations, produce accurate pricing and deliver an excellent customer experience. As the business continues to invest in automation and new technologies, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to improving processes and developing more efficient ways of working, making this an exciting role with genuine long-term career prospects.
The Role
As an Estimator, you'll play a key role in supporting customers by preparing accurate quotations and ensuring they receive a professional and efficient service. Your responsibilities will include:
- Preparing accurate customer quotations and estimates
- Producing pricing using internal systems
- Tailoring quotations to meet individual customer requirements
- Responding to customer enquiries via telephone and email
- Building positive relationships through professional verbal and written communication
- Accurately entering and maintaining information on internal systems
- Working closely with colleagues to ensure quotations are produced efficiently and accurately
- Learning the company's products, services and systems through full training
- Contributing to process improvements and supporting automation initiatives as the business continues to evolve
About You
We're looking for someone who is eager to learn, takes pride in their work and enjoys delivering excellent customer service.
You'll ideally have:
- Excellent written and spoken English
- The ability to write clear, professional emails with a high standard of grammar, spelling and punctuation
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
- Good organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks
- Confidence using Microsoft Office and the ability to learn new systems quickly
- A positive, proactive attitude with a willingness to learn and develop
- The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
A Business degree or previous experience in a commercial, administration, customer service or sales support role would be advantageous, but attitude, communication skills and a willingness to learn are far more important than previous estimating experience.
What's on Offer
- Full training and ongoing mentoring
- A genuine long-term career opportunity within a growing business
- The chance to become involved in automation and process improvement projects
- A supportive, collaborative and friendly working environment
- Career development opportunities as the business continues to grow
- Competitive salary and benefits
If you're looking for a varied role where you can learn, develop and build a rewarding commercial career, we'd love to hear from you.
