You will join us and work alongside our colleagues on a range of projects in Germany.

We’re a growing organisation that creates spaces where people can live, work and play. We are a general contractor and fit-out company delivering tertiary and commercial spaces, and we strive to include sustainability in our building processes.
Our ethos centres around future-proofing our projects – and at the heart of that is our diverse team. We’ve built a reputation as the resourceful problem solver – a trusted partner that anticipates and mitigates issues before they arise, built on a culture of honesty, ambition and trust.
The commercial interiors sector is often complex, especially when working on a continent-wide scale. We’ve therefore built a network of best-in-class professionals, suppliers and consultants experienced in delivering high-quality space planning, design, build and construction services.
Agilité is fully devoted to building a diverse and inclusive team of experts that reflects our customers and users. We want our employees to thrive in an atmosphere of collaboration and togetherness. We continue to build a diverse workforce and foster different perspectives and unique ways of thinking, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion or physical ability.
Our expertise works seamlessly together to ensure that whether we’re delivering retail or commercial projects – or anything in between – clients benefit from innovative, best-value and bespoke solutions to their market entry, expansion or relocation projects.
We’re now looking to strengthen our team with the appointment of a cost estimator – an organised and diligent professional who will drive quality across this segment of the company.
In this role, you will assist the team on mid- to large-scale projects in collaboration with subcontractors and clients across the office, retail and hospitality sectors. The position is multifaceted, working across Europe with the pre-construction director and project management teams on the early development of projects before they go live.
The cost estimator will also be required to travel to client destinations and project sites across Europe.
Key activities include, but are not limited to:
Identifying and quantifying the costs and activities required for works included in project specifications and bills of quantities (considering production time, materials and labour)
Analysing the legal, technical and financial risks of a project
Researching and proposing technical and economic solutions
Selecting companies and proposing partnerships while managing communications with internal and external technical and purchasing departments
Evaluating the profitability and viability of projects and making recommendations to the delivery team
Participating in the preliminary financial phase of projects
Consulting with suppliers, organising and analysing offers
Managing preliminary and resource costs while maintaining knowledge of project contractual terms
Identifying future risks or opportunities and associated costs or revenues
Maintaining profitability by allocating budgets for each element of a construction project and supervising financial changes during project delivery
Participating in monthly reporting on project financial performance
Assisting with subcontractor order management
Technical skills:
Knowledge of local regulations
Ability to critically analyse project documentation
Ability to work independently and manage your own time
Experience working on construction and architectural projects
Managerial skills:
Negotiation and management
Knowledge of construction site phases
Knowledge of occupational health and safety processes
We’re looking for someone with:
A background as an architect, engineer or quantity surveyor, or studies in business specialising in the construction sector
At least five years’ experience as a cost estimator
Strong computer skills
Fluency in English and German (additional European languages are an advantage)
Ideally, you will also be:
Self-driven, persevering and performance-oriented
Adaptable across environments, situations and teams
A team leader
Able to prioritise and reorganise activities when faced with changing constraints
Customer-focused
Creative with a strong sense of innovation
Rigorous and organised
Familiar with the technical and organisational standards of the construction sector
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
