Operating in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, they pride themselves on delivering high-quality mechanical installations and maintenance solutions, with a steady pipeline of day-to-day projects rather than large-scale one-off schemes.

• Engage with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain competitive and compliant quotations
• Analyse and compare subcontractor returns to ensure best value and technical compliance
• Prepare tender submissions and support internal adjudication processes
• Liaise with project managers, engineers, and commercial teams during pre-construction
• Support smooth handover of secured projects to delivery teams

Qualifications

• Previous experience as a Mechanical Estimator within an M&E contractor environment
• Strong understanding of mechanical building services (HVAC, pipework, heating systems)
• Experience pricing projects within the £500k–£2m range (desirable)
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications
• Experience using estimating software and digital tools; knowledge of CAD and Simpro would be beneficial
• Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• Relevant qualifications in Mechanical Engineering or Building Services (preferred)

Benefits

• Competitive salary package (DOE)
• Pension and standard benefits package
• Opportunity to work on a consistent pipeline of secured projects
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
• Ongoing training and career development opportunities
