Job Description:

Ever wondered whether the people who build your estimate would recognise the numbers?

As an Electrical Estimator with a specialist contractor, you’d price mission-critical projects such as data centres, healthcare and pharma.

You’d then hand the job over to the delivery team yourself.

Your numbers go from tender to site with your name on them.

Is this you?

You’re an estimator who wants bigger, more technical projects to price.

Or you’re an electrician or electrical technician who reads drawings well, loves a spreadsheet, and wants to move off the tools and into estimating.

Either way, you notice the detail others miss, and you’d rather own a tender from start to finish than do one piece of it.

If that’s you, keep reading.

What you’ll be doing

  • Running estimates for new projects from inception to submission
  • Producing tenders for both pre-designed and design and construct projects
  • Building estimates, tender packs and trackers, and pulling in quotes from suppliers
  • Producing bills of quantities, schedules of work and contractor proposals to support bids
  • Handing projects over to the operational delivery team
  • Working alongside Contracts Managers, QSs and the design and engineering team

Where you’ll be doing it

A market-leading specialist M&E contractor, headquartered locally with more than 250 people. Part of a larger group that is still growing, and you’d join a team that is growing with it.

What you’ll need

  • Ability to read and understand electrical drawings
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel
  • Strong communication and organisational skills, with the ability to talk to both technical and non-technical clients
  • Self-motivation and the ability to hit deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Estimating experience or an electrical background would help, but you only need one of the two. If you have the eye for detail and the drive to learn, don’t rule yourself out.

What you’ll get

  • Hybrid working, with a choice of several offices to base yourself in.
  • Occasional travel to the other offices
  • A role that follows your estimates through to handover, not just to submission
  • Exposure to mission-critical sectors that offer a lot of room to specialise
