Trainee Roofing Estimator

Location: Bedford Head Office
Job Type: Full-Time
Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 per annum (negotiable depending on experience, qualifications, and transferable skills)

About Us

M&J Group is a leading third-generation, family-owned business specialising in roofing, construction, and building solutions across the UK. With over 50 years of experience, we are one of the UK's largest specialist contractors, delivering high-quality projects across the education, healthcare, heritage, commercial, and public sectors.

Our services include flat and pitched roofing, solar PV installations, heritage restoration, refurbishment works, and new build construction. We are committed to quality, safety, sustainability, and investing in our people, making M&J Group an excellent place to build a successful and rewarding career.

The Role

We are looking for a motivated and ambitious Trainee Flat Roofing Estimator to join our team at our Bedford Head Office.

This role is ideal for someone looking to develop a long-term career within the roofing and construction industry. The successful candidate will receive full training and support from experienced surveyors and estimators, gaining the skills and knowledge required to progress into a fully competent Flat Roofing Estimator.

Core Office Hours: 8:00am – 5:00pm (1-hour lunch)

Training & Development

As part of your development, you will spend a minimum of three months within our Surveying Department, working alongside experienced surveyors and attending site visits. This practical training will provide valuable hands-on experience of flat roofing systems, site measurements, condition surveys, and project requirements.

During this period, you will regularly travel to sites to gain a thorough understanding of the surveying process and how it supports the estimating function. Following completion of this training, you will transition into the estimating team with a strong foundation of technical and practical knowledge.

Maintain project records and estimating documentation
Develop an understanding of project costs, commercial margins, and procurement processes
Work accurately and efficiently to meet deadlines

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will have previous experience within a construction-related environment and be looking to develop a long-term career within estimating.

While full training will be provided, candidates who have existing experience within the roofing industry, particularly flat roofing systems and roofing estimating, will be at a distinct advantage. We would welcome applications from individuals who have previously worked in estimating, surveying, roofing contracts, or roofing project support roles and are looking to further their career within a specialist contractor environment.

Candidates should be eager to learn, commercially aware, and possess strong numerical and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret technical information and contribute to the successful delivery of tender submissions.
