The Company
A leading provider of mechanical and electrical solutions across sectors that include commercial, industrial, and residential projects.
They have a track record of success and a fantastic name within the industry.
The Opportunity
Due to the award of new contracts and continued impressive growth, they are now looking to strengthen their Project Management team with a suitably qualified and experienced Electrical Estimator. This is to work on projects up to a value of £2 Million, and collaborating with the Project Managers, Directors, and Business Development team, as well as other internal and external stakeholders.
This is a great time to join as they expand. And the projects and opportunities you'll work on will be varied and will certainly keep you interested.
What Will You Do?
I can't put the whole JD in an advert. However, here's some of the main aspects of what you'll do:
- Evaluate bid specifications and drawings, to ensure everything required to successfully bid and win the project is understood and clearly communicated.
- Identify potential risks and opportunities associated with the project and strategies to address them.
- Analyse project specifications, drawings, and other documentation for time, cost, materials, and labour estimates.
- Collaborate with suppliers and sub-contractors to obtain accurate and competitive pricing.
- Hold site visits and meetings with clients to discuss project requirements and scope.
- Prepare and submit comprehensive and competitive tender packages, ensuring all inclusions and exclusions are clearly detailed.
- Review and compare sub-contractor and supplier quotes, negotiating to secure the best possible terms.
- Prepare and maintain a directory of suppliers, contractors, and sub-contractors and maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry standards, regulations, and best practices.
- Participate in post-tender negotiations and handover meetings.
- Continuously monitor the progress of projects to ensure alignment and adjust forecasts as necessary.
What You'll Need
This is an important role within the business, so there's a few things I'll need to see in your locker:
- Relevant qualifications for your craft
- Significant Electrical Estimating experience
- A sound understanding of electrical systems, materials and installation methods
- Experience of working with Project Managers on electromechanical projects
- Solid understanding of construction processes and project management principles.
- Excellent numerical and analytical skills
- A proven ability to build strong business relationships
- Professional memberships (RICS, CIBSE) would be useful but not essential
Unfortunately, this would not suit a recent graduate without significant, practical, real-world experience.
We are also not looking for those outside of a reasonable commute to Nottingham or that would need to relocate – No Exceptions

- A base salary between £45k and £55k – DOE
- Company bonus
- 33 days holiday per year
- Good company pension
- Free parking on site

If this sound like the role for you, you carry the necessary electrical estimating experience, and you already live within a reasonable commute of Nottingham, please apply and I'll be in touch with those that most suit the position.
