  * 

    Competent with reading drawings, specifications, trade breakdowns and subcontract packages.

  * 

    Excellent numerical and analytical skills with ability to interpret cost data, quantify works and develop pricing models.

  * 

    Good commercial awareness and understanding of contract terms, variations, valuations and final accounts.

  * 

    A role with genuine responsibility within a well-established electrical company.

  * 

    Opportunity to work on a range of projects including commercial refurbishments, institutional works and electrical installations.
