On behalf of a market-leading specialist electrical contractor, Salter Grange is seeking an experienced and driven Senior Electrical Estimator to join a rapidly growing team based out of Derry.
Our client is a premier contractor specializing in medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) cable installation, termination services, busbar, and containment solutions. Headquartered in Ireland, they deliver mission-critical projects for a diverse range of customers across Europe and beyond, spanning high-growth sectors such as data centres, pharmaceuticals, renewables, power generation, and critical infrastructure.

You will oversee the production of Electrical tenders for both pre‑designed and design & construct projects, ensuring the delivery of high‑quality, competitive submissions while fostering a professional, collaborative team environment.
Senior Electrical Estimator Responsibilities
* Manage the estimating department, overseeing all new project enquiries from initial inception through to final submission.
* Set up estimates, tender packs, and applicable trackers to ensure consistency and accuracy across all bids.
* Lead communication with internal stakeholders, external suppliers, and clients throughout the entire tender process.
* Review engineering drawings and prepare precise take‑offs for LV/MV Cabling and Containment systems.
* Oversee the input of take‑offs and supplier quotations into relevant estimating formats.
* Produce and review bills of quantities, schedules of work, and contractors’ proposal documents to support bids.
* Manage the formal handover process to the operational delivery team, ensuring complete clarity and commercial continuity.
* Develop strong inter‑departmental relationships, working closely with Contracts Managers, Quantity Surveyors, and the Design/Engineering department.
* Support the continuous improvement of estimating processes, systems, and commercial governance.
* Provide guidance, mentoring, and professional support to estimators within the team.
Senior Electrical Estimator Requirements:
* Strong commercial background in an Estimator or Senior Estimator role, ideally with team‑lead or supervisory experience within the electrical contracting sector.
* Self‑motivated with a proven ability to ensure tight project deadlines are consistently achieved.
* Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment, managing multiple tenders simultaneously.
* Proven ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a team to manage workload efficiently.
* Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to engage confidently with clients and internal teams (effectively translating technical details to non-technical stakeholders).
* Sharp ability to read and accurately interpret electrical drawings and technical documentation.
* High attention to detail with a strong focus on accuracy and commercial awareness.
* Proficient in Microsoft Office, with advanced skills in Microsoft Excel.
