- Assist with the handover of won projects to the delivery team, ensuring all pre construction information is transferred accurately.
- Develop your knowledge of passive fire protection systems, fire doors, firestopping, and the compliance framework that underpins our work.

- Experience in a pre-construction, estimating, quantity surveying, or commercial support role within building fabric, passive fire, construction, or a closely related discipline.
- Ability to carry out accurate take-offs and quantification from drawings and specifications.
- Strong numerical and analytical skills — comfortable working with pricing data, cost summaries, and tender documents.
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail — able to manage multiple live bids simultaneously and meet submission deadlines without dropping the ball.
- Good communication skills — able to liaise professionally with clients, supply chain, and internal colleagues.
- Proficient in Microsoft 365 — particularly Excel, Outlook, and Word.
- Yeovil office-based or within commutable distance of the South West, and available full time.
- Full UK driving licence.
