Job Description

Mechanical Estimator

Building Services / Mechanical Contractor

Salary: £70-85k + Benefits

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and growing Mechanical Building Services Contractor with an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality projects across the commercial, healthcare, industrial, education and fit-out sectors.

With a healthy order book and continued business growth, they're looking to appoint a Mechanical Estimator to strengthen their pre-construction team.

Whether you're an experienced estimator or someone looking to take the next step in your estimating career, this is a business that genuinely invests in its people and offers long-term progression.

The Opportunity

Working alongside an experienced commercial and pre-construction team, you'll play a key role in producing accurate cost estimates and mechanical take-offs for a diverse range of building services projects.

This role is ideally suited to someone who enjoys the technical side of estimating, with a particular focus on measuring, pricing and analysing mechanical installations rather than managing the full bid process.

You'll be involved in a varied portfolio of projects and have the opportunity to develop your technical knowledge while working closely with senior estimators and project delivery teams.

Key Responsibilities

  * 

    Prepare detailed mechanical take-offs from drawings and specifications.

  * 

    Produce accurate cost estimates for mechanical building services installations.

  * 

    Review drawings, specifications and tender documentation.

  * 

    Obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations.

  * 

    Support the preparation of competitive tender submissions.

  * 

    Assist with value engineering and cost-saving initiatives.

  * 

    Liaise with suppliers, subcontractors and internal project teams.

  * 

    Maintain accurate estimating records and documentation.

  * 

    Support multiple live tenders while ensuring deadlines are achieved.

About You

We're interested in speaking with candidates who have experience within mechanical building services, whether that's in an estimating, surveying, design or project engineering capacity.

You'll ideally have:

  * 

    Experience within Mechanical Building Services, M&E or Mechanical Contracting.

  * 

    A good understanding of heating, plumbing, pipework and public health systems.

  * 

    The ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.

  * 

    Strong numerical and analytical skills with excellent attention to detail.

  * 

    Good communication and organisational abilities.

  * 

    A proactive approach and a willingness to continue learning and developing.

Desirable

  * 

    Experience pricing commercial, healthcare, education, industrial or fit-out projects.

  * 

    Previous experience within estimating or pre-construction.

  * 

    Familiarity with EES estimating software (training available).

  * 

    Knowledge of mechanical installation methods, materials and current industry practices.

What's on Offer

  * 

    Competitive salary and benefits package.

  * 

    Genuine opportunities for career progression.

  * 

    Ongoing training and professional development.

  * 

    Supportive and collaborative working environment.

  * 

    The opportunity to work on a wide variety of prestigious building services projects.
