Job Title: Estimator – Architectural Glazing (Residential)

Location: Glasgow (or commutable distance)

Salary: £30,000 – £40,000

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

 

About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and detail-oriented Estimator to join a well-established and growing

business within the residential architectural glazing sector. The company is a specialist importer and distributor of high-

performance aluminium, aluclad, and uPVC windows and doors, working closely with premium suppliers and

manufacturers across the UK and Europe.

Supporting bespoke residential projects — including contemporary homes, self-builds, and renovations — this role

involves providing accurate and timely quotations for high-spec glazing solutions tailored to individual project needs. The

role is office-based (with some flexibility) and will involve regular face-to-face contact with customers at the company’s

Glasgow showroom.

This is not a sales estimator position and will not require field visits.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

• Review architectural drawings, specifications, and customer designs for residential glazing systems

• Accurately calculate dimensions, materials, configurations, and finishing options (including colourways) for

quotations

• Liaise directly with a network of suppliers and kit companies to request and coordinate quotations

• Interpret and validate supplier quotes before presenting them to customers

• Advise customers on any design revisions or product limitations, suggesting alternative solutions when necessary

• Communicate professionally with specialist builders, trade clients, and self-build customers to guide them

through the quoting process

• Maintain high attention to detail in all documentation and correspondence

• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a smooth quotation and order process

 

Skills & Experience

 

• Previous experience in an estimating role within the fenestration, glazing, or construction industry (residential

focus preferred)

• Strong understanding of windows, doors, and glazing systems, including aluminium, aluclad, and uPVC products

• Comfortable interpreting architectural drawings and technical specifications

• Confident communicator with the ability to engage directly and professionally with clients in person

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and time management skills

• Proficient in Microsoft Office; experience with fenestration software is not required

• Solution-focused mindset with the ability to offer viable alternatives when project requirements change

• Must live in Glasgow or within a reasonable commuting distance

• Willingness to work from the showroom as needed for customer meetings (not daily office attendance)

 

Why Join?

 

This is a great opportunity to join a business that prides itself on quality craftsmanship, contemporary design, and

exceptional customer service. With a growing reputation in the architectural glazing space, the company offers an

engaging work environment and the chance to be part of unique and high-end residential projects.
