We are a growing home improvement and repair company based in North Dublin. We specialize in residential renovations, extensions, and high-quality repairs. We are seeking a detail-oriented Estimator to join our team.

Supplier Coordination: Maintain relationships with local merchants to track lead times and availability.
Admin Support: Assist our office administrator with project scheduling, updating our CRM, and following up on quotes with clients.
Reporting: Directly report to the Company Founder to review project margins and bid accuracy.
The Ideal Candidate:
Experience: Proven track record in residential construction estimating (ideally within Ireland/UK).
Local Knowledge: Familiarity with the Dublin construction market and material costs is a significant advantage.
Software Skills: Proficiency in estimating software (e.g., PlanSwift, Bluebeam) and Microsoft Excel.
Communication: Excellent English (written and verbal) as you will be communicating with local suppliers and the internal team.
Flexibility: A "can-do" attitude—happy to jump in and help the office admin during peak times.
Project Details:
Location: Remote (Preference for candidates familiar with North Dublin/Irish building regs).
Duration: Starting as a project-based role with the potential to move into a long-term position.
