Full job description

Type: Permanent, Full Time
Location: Whiteley PO15 7QQ
Position: Outfitting Estimator

***Are you an experienced estimator with analytical depth, commercial judgment, and the technical confidence to own complex maritime outfitting estimates — plus the flexibility and willingness to adapt and learn new ways of working? ***

If that's you, HEY THERE!

We're looking for an EXPERIENCED OUTFITTING ESTIMATOR to join our commercial team at Trimline. This is a hands-on role where you'll own the preparation of cost estimates for marine outfitting projects, working with evolving scopes and complex technical requirements. You'll collaborate closely with project teams, clients, and our manufacturing partners to develop accurate, defensible pricing that reflects both opportunity and risk.

This isn't a desk-only position — you'll also conduct site surveys (across the globe), clarify project requirements directly with stakeholders, and help develop your estimating knowledge as you grow into the role. You'll contribute to improving our estimating processes and, over time, support others as your expertise deepens.

What You'll Be Doing

Prepare cost estimates for outfitting projects, interpreting scope documents and specifications with guidance from senior colleagues
Conduct site surveys and technical discussions to clarify requirements and identify risks
Articulate the reasoning behind your estimates and discuss pricing with clients and internal teams
Identify commercial and technical risks early, and build appropriate allowances into your estimates
Use our estimating systems accurately and contribute ideas for process improvement
Engage with project, design, and manufacturing teams to ensure your estimates align with broader commercial strategy
Take responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of your estimates before they're submitted
Support the broader team through clear communication, professionalism, and a collaborative approach

Essential Experience, Skills & Personal Qualities

Experience:

5+ years in construction estimating, marine/shipbuilding, or a related technical estimating discipline
Familiarity with complex project scopes, multi-trade coordination, and cost-build methodology
Exposure to risk identification and contingency planning in estimates
Track record of working with clients and cross-functional teams on technical clarification

Skills:

Strong numeracy and attention to detail — accuracy matters
Proficiency with spreadsheets and estimating software (AND willingness to learn ours quickly)
Clear written and verbal communication — you can explain your reasoning to both technical and commercial audiences
Problem-solving mindset; comfortable interpreting incomplete or evolving specifications
Commercial awareness — you understand cost drivers, margin, and business impact

Personality & Approach:

Curious and detail-oriented — you ask good questions to clarify ambiguity rather than making assumptions
Collaborative — you actively engage with colleagues across the business and value their input
Ownership mindset — you take responsibility for the quality of your work and follow through
Resilient and adaptable — you stay calm when scope is unclear and can adjust approach as requirements evolve
Professional and reliable — you meet deadlines, communicate proactively, and represent the business well
Coachable — you're open to feedback and committed to developing your technical and commercial judgment
Integrity-focused — you handle confidential information responsibly and uphold company policies

Why Trimline?

We're a specialist marine outfitting business with deep expertise and long-standing relationships across the cruise and ferry sectors. You'll work on high-profile projects, learn from experienced colleagues, and grow your technical knowledge in a innovative environment. We invest in our people and are committed to fostering a workplace culture that enables our staff to do and be at their best in every part of their way.

Pay: £50,000.00-£60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Cycle to work scheme
Health & wellbeing programme
On-site parking
Private dental insurance
Private medical insurance
Profit sharing
Sick pay
