Job Description

The Opportunity

Our client is one of the North West’s most established M&E contractors and they are looking for an experienced Electrical Estimator to join their pre-construction team. This is a hybrid role with four days working from home, making it well suited to someone who works well independently and manages their own workload with confidence.

The business has a structured and consistent forward order book, and the estimating function is a well-supported one. For an experienced estimator, this is a role with real substance – a varied project pipeline, a strong supply chain network and a team around you that knows how to deliver.

About the Business

With over 50 years in the industry and a team of more than 200 staff, our client is one of the longest-established building services engineering businesses in the North West. They deliver comprehensive electrical and mechanical packages – including full design and build capability – for major projects across the region and nationally, and hold places on major public sector procurement frameworks covering projects from £50,000 to over £3 million.

Their work spans healthcare, commercial and industrial sectors, with a particularly strong track record in complex NHS hospital schemes. Beyond core M&E, their capability extends to building automation and controls, renewable energy and data and telecoms infrastructure. The business is accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and operates a full 24-hour maintenance service alongside project delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

  * 

    Preparing detailed electrical estimates and tender submissions from drawings and specifications

  * 

    Carrying out take-offs and developing accurate bills of quantities

  * 

    Engaging with the supply chain to obtain competitive subcontractor and supplier pricing

  * 

    Identifying risk, value engineering opportunities and commercial considerations within bids

  * 

    Attending tender review and clarification meetings

  * 

    Handing over secured projects to the delivery team with clear cost breakdowns

  * 

    Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of market rates and materials pricing

What We’re Looking For

  * 

    Established background in electrical estimating within an M&E contracting environment

  * 

    Confident reading and interpreting electrical drawings, specifications and tender documentation

  * 

    Proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Excel

  * 

    Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail

  * 

    Ability to manage multiple tender programmes simultaneously

  * 

    Self-motivated and well organised – essential given the hybrid working pattern

What’s on Offer

  * 

    Salary of £60,000 – £70,000 depending on experience

  * 

    Hybrid working – 4 days from home

  *
