Estimator

Why join Silver Shore:

Over 55 years of heritage, and a genuine technical specialism shared by very few companies in the UAE. You'll work alongside Guild-trained experts, on real landmark projects, building credentials that are scarce and highly valued in this market. From a local supplier to a trusted name across the GCC's architectural hardware landscape, Silver Shore has spent over five decades supplying high-quality hardware solutions for some of the region's most iconic landmarks. We're a diverse, established team based on Sheikh Zayed Road. This is a rare opportunity for a technically-minded professional to specialize in a niche, high-demand discipline — one that has quietly supported some of Dubai's most recognizable buildings.

The Role

As an Estimator, you'll take a project's floor plans, door schedules, and Fire Life Safety (FLS) drawings, and translate them into a preliminary hardware schedule — a detailed, technical exercise that sits at the intersection of architecture, life safety, and precision documentation. You'll then produce the final schedule using our in-house software.

What you'll be doing:

• Reading floor plans to identify and locate every door, and interpreting door schedules to understand each door's parameters
• Reading FLS drawings to identify escape routes and understanding how FLS requirements shape the hardware specification for each door on that route
• Cross-referencing floor plans, door schedules, and FLS data to build accurate, preliminary hardware (ironmongery) schedules
• Entering finalised data into our bespoke software to generate project hardware schedules

Desired Candidate Profile

• An engineering, architecture, or quantity surveying background
• Confident reading floor plans and door schedules
• Working knowledge of CAD and Revit (3D modelling not required)
• Ability to interpret FLS drawings and understand their impact on door hardware
• Strong Excel skills and a genuinely detail-oriented, methodical approach
• A Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) qualification or training is a strong advantage
