Why Join Them?

1. Take the lead on estimating projects up to £1 million.
2. Work on a variety of electrical installations, including power distribution, data systems, CCTV, fire alarms, and access control.

3. Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain the best rates.
4. Work closely with engineers and project managers to ensure tenders align with project capabilities.
5. Attend site visits on larger projects to assess scope, verify estimates, and ensure smooth cost management.
6. Assist in value engineering and cost-saving initiatives where applicable.

What They're Looking For

1. Proven experience in electrical estimating within construction, building services, or M&E contracting.
2. ONC/HNC in Building Services Engineering or equivalent experience.
3. Strong commercial awareness with a detailed understanding of material, labour, and plant costs.
4. Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications.
5. A proactive, hands-on approach—comfortable working beyond estimating and engaging with live projects.
6. Experience working in a small business or adaptable to a close-knit team environment.
7. Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel for site visits when required.

What's in It for You?

1. Competitive salary based on experience and expertise.
2. Genuine career progression opportunities within a growing company.
3. A supportive and collaborative team environment where your contributions make a real difference.
4. Ongoing training and professional development to enhance your skills.
5. Structured working hours to promote a positive work-life balance.

They are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace and encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
