Job description

Intermediate Mechanical Estimator

M4 Corridor / Swindon | Up to £45,000 + Car Allowance + Excellent Benefits

Ready to take the next step in your estimating career?

I'm working with a well-established and growing building services contractor who is looking for an Intermediate Mechanical Estimator to join their team.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with a mechanical building services background who wants to develop their estimating experience, take on more responsibility and become part of a supportive team with plenty of work in the pipeline.

You’ll be working across a varied portfolio of mechanical works, producing competitive quotations, reviewing technical information and working closely with engineers, suppliers and the wider business to turn opportunities into profitable projects.

Whether you’re already working in estimating or have a strong mechanical engineering background and are looking to move into a more office-based role, this could be a great next move.

What’s in it for you?

• Up to £45,000 DOE
• Car allowance
• 25 days holiday + Bank Holidays
• Pension
• Genuine career progression
• Supportive, established team
• Opportunity to develop your technical and commercial knowledge
• Varied mechanical building services workload
• Hybrid flexibility, with office, home and occasional site work

The Role

You’ll play an important part in the estimating function, preparing accurate and competitive quotations for mechanical remedial, repair and replacement works across commercial maintenance contracts.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Producing multiple quotations for mechanical remedial works, repairs and replacement components
• Reviewing engineers' reports and recommendations to establish the scope of works
• Pricing labour, materials, equipment and associated costs
• Obtaining competitive supplier quotations and negotiating pricing where appropriate
• Interpreting technical reports and identifying the work required
• Liaising with engineers, suppliers and internal teams to clarify requirements
• Managing a busy quotation pipeline and ensuring deadlines are met
• Working to client quotation SLAs, typically within 3-5 days
• Ensuring quotations are accurate, commercially competitive and delivered on time

What We’re Looking For

• Mechanical building services estimating or quoting
• HVAC, air conditioning or FM remedial works
• Producing quotations within a service and maintenance environment
• Pricing labour, materials and replacement equipment
• Reviewing engineers' reports and technical recommendations
• Working with systems such as splits, VRV/VRF and chillers
• Microsoft Excel, Word and internal estimating systems

This could also suit an AC or Mechanical Engineer looking to make the move into estimating, provided you have the technical knowledge and commercial interest to develop in the role.

You’ll need to be organised, commercially minded and comfortable managing multiple quotations in a fast-paced environment.

Ideally, you’ll be based along the M4 corridor, particularly around Swindon, with the flexibility to work between the office, home and occasional site visits.

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity to join a business where you can build on your existing mechanical knowledge, develop your estimating skills and progress your career.

If you’re an Intermediate Mechanical Estimator looking for a fresh challenge, a better package and somewhere you can genuinely develop, I’d love to hear from you.

We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from all backgrounds.
