4. Working closely with project managers, engineers, and commercial leads to ensure aligned, accurate tenders
5. Supporting procurement and supplier engagement to negotiate strong rates
6. Advising on risk, compliance, and value engineering opportunities to support margin protection

Who We're Looking For

• Previous experience estimating electrical works within construction or fit-out settings
• Sound understanding of electrical systems including power, lighting, fire alarms, access control, CCTV, and data
• ONC/HNC in Electrical or Building Services Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)
• Commercially aware with a strong grasp of cost breakdowns and estimating principles
• Confident interpreting complex specifications, schematics, and electrical drawings
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage deadlines and multiple estimates simultaneously
• Based in Sheffield or surrounding areas – this is an office-based role with strong team collaboration

What You’ll Get in Return

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Supportive leadership team that values technical input
• A voice in the future electrical delivery strategy
• Career progression as the electrical division continues to grow
• Structured work schedule – Monday to Friday, no weekends
• Company events, health and wellbeing initiatives, and on-site parking

This is an ideal role for someone ready to take ownership and make a measurable impact inside a growing, design-led business.
