You will have experience as an Estimator or Quantity Surveyor. You may also be a Graduate Structural Engineer. What is certain is you are looking for a career opportunity in a business that will encourage your input, welcome your ideas and act on them. That business is AkzoNobel.

We operate in a number of important market segments ranging from buildings and infrastructure to transport, industrial and consumer goods.

As an Estimator within our Fire Protection team you will produce detailed and accurate intumescent coating material estimates from drawings and BOQ's as well as calculate coating thickness requirements. You will also provide technical support to sales teams as well as help with customer enquiries for cellulosic and hydrocarbon passive fire protection.
