Job Description
Senior Mechanical Estimator
Successful Mechanical Contractor
Surrey/Kent border (2 days hybrid working available)
About the Company:
Established in the 1980s, this well-respected, family-run business specialises exclusively in mechanical projects. With a strong turnover of £20 million and headquartered in Surrey, they deliver high-quality residential schemes ranging from £500k to £20m. Their client base includes some of the UK’s most prominent housebuilders and contractors.
Renowned for project excellence and a commitment to internal progression, many of the current senior team members began their careers here as apprentices—a true testament to the company’s culture of development and loyalty.
The Opportunity:
Due to continued growth and an increasingly diverse portfolio, the business is now looking for a Senior Mechanical Estimator to join its commercial team. You’ll be working alongside an experienced Estimator and reporting directly to the Managing Director/Commercial Director.
Key Responsibilities:
Manage and prioritise a dynamic project tender pipeline
Serve as a primary point of contact for current and potential clients
Collaborate with the Commercial Director on bid strategy development
Analyse client enquiry documents and lead detailed take-offs
Deliver both mid and post-tender presentations to clients
Evaluate subcontractor, plant, and equipment quotes
Manage RFIs and post-tender clarification processes
Identify project risks, opportunities, and value engineering options
Assess mechanical designs from RIBA Stage 2 onward
Support the evolution and optimisation of the supply chain network
Produce comprehensive tender review documentation for senior leadership
What We’re Looking For:
Solid experience in mechanical estimating within residential construction
Broader sector experience is welcomed, but residential must be a core focus
Strong knowledge of mechanical systems design and tendering processes
Excellent communication and commercial acumen
Familiarity with estimating software (exact platforms to be confirmed)
Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team
Working Pattern:
Flexible hybrid working is available – typically 3 days in the office and 2 remotely. Some team members successfully work 4 days from home, and the business is happy to accommodate arrangements that suit the right person.
Why Join?
This isn’t just another contractor – it’s a supportive, close-knit team where people are genuinely valued. With a strong emphasis on career growth, mentoring, and work-life balance, this business offers a long-term, fulfilling path for the right candidate.
