At Curtis Moore, we are thrilled to announce the appointment of Lee McCormack as our new Trainee Estimator. This marks an exciting step forward for both Lee and our business as we continue to prioritise the development of new talent in a role that is critical to the success of our projects and the wider industry.
The Importance of Estimators in Roofing and Cladding
The role of an estimator is one of the most vital in the construction industry, particularly in roofing and cladding. Estimators are the bridge between project conception and execution, offering guidance on material selection, project design, and ensuring that costs are accurately assessed. However, we have observed a worrying decline in the availability of experienced roofing and cladding estimators across the industry.
As a business, we recognise that this shortage poses a significant challenge, not only for us but for the industry as a whole. Without a steady pipeline of skilled estimators, the ability to deliver high-quality projects efficiently and effectively is at risk. That’s why we are committed to nurturing new talent and future-proofing our business by investing in roles like this.
Developing Talent: Our Commitment to the Future
Unlike many other professions, there isn’t a specific university course dedicated to roofing and cladding estimation. This makes it even more important for businesses to take proactive steps in identifying and developing individuals with the potential to excel in this field. Our decision to recruit Lee as a Trainee Estimator is a reflection of this commitment.
Lee will work closely with our experienced estimating team, gaining first-hand experience and developing the technical and practical skills needed to thrive in this role. From reviewing tender documentation and preparing quotations to collaborating with our design, procurement, and project delivery teams, Lee will be immersed in every aspect of the estimation process. With the guidance of our Senior Estimator and the full support of our team, we are confident that Lee will grow into a skilled and self-sufficient estimator.
Wishing Lee Every Success
We are delighted to have Lee on board and look forward to supporting him as he embarks on this exciting journey. His role as a Trainee Estimator is not just about learning the ropes; it’s about becoming an integral part of our team and contributing to the success of Curtis Moore and our projects. We wish Lee every success in developing his career and are confident that he will make a significant impact on our business.
