Mechanical Estimator

Job description

A rare opportunity has become available for a Mechanical Estimator to join one of the region’s most successful and fast-growing Building Services contractors.

Over the last three years, the business has gone from strength to strength, posting record turnover and profits year on year whilst securing a substantial forward order book. With further expansion planned, they are now looking to invest in their pre-construction team by bringing in an additional Mechanical Estimator.

The company delivers high-value residential, mixed-use and commercial developments for a number of well-known developers and Tier One contractors, regularly working on schemes with MEP packages in excess of £20 million.

This role would suit an experienced Mechanical Estimator who enjoys being involved in technically challenging tenders and wants to join a business where there is genuine opportunity to develop and progress.

They are particularly keen to speak with individuals who have a solid mechanical estimating background but have either already gained some electrical exposure or are interested in developing this further as part of the role.

I would be interested in speaking with candidates who can demonstrate:

• Previous experience working as a Mechanical Estimator within Building Services or an M&E contractor

• A track record of pricing major residential, mixed-use or commercial schemes

• Experience dealing with leading developers, consultants and main contractors

• Strong technical understanding of HVAC, pipework, plant and public health installations

• Some knowledge of electrical packages, or a desire to gain further experience in this area

• The ability to interpret drawings and specifications, complete take-offs and build accurate and commercially competitive tenders

• Confidence managing a number of bids at any one time and working to tight deadlines

• A proactive approach and the desire to be part of a business with ambitious growth plans

In return, the company can offer a long-term career move with a business that is continuing to grow, alongside genuine opportunities for progression, a supportive team environment and involvement in some of the most notable projects in the market.

The position is permanent and, after an initial six-month period in the office, there will be flexibility to work on a hybrid basis.

If you are a Mechanical Estimator considering your next move and would like to hear more, please get in touch for a confidential conversation.
