Job description

A rare and newly created opportunity has been created for this multi million pound M&E / Mechanical and Electrical Contractor for an Estimator to report to their West Midlands based offices, although a hybrid arrangement is available for consideration to the right candidate.

We seek a talented Mechanical Estimator to work on containment installation schemes of mechanical services ranging between £10M-£20M+

Candidates highly sought are those with commercial or even industrial mechanical estimating experience into buildings, although we are happy to consider those from a fit out or construction related estimating background.

Typical contracts may include offices, data centres, warehouses, distribution centres and all manner of industrial sheds for manufacture as well as healthcare / hospitals.

You will have direct experience in providing detailed and completed tenders including installation times and then review projects after completion for quality and accuracy on future projects.

As an already proven Mechanical Estimator, you will produce accurate take offs / measures of tenders and be experienced in using estimating software to ensure that the prime cost of the project is fully understood.

Candidates called for will have experience in vetting suppliers and subcontract enquiries whilst working with specialist subcontractors and assessing quotations.

You will be a 'finger on the pulse' Estimator and gain up to date knowledge of the market place regarding the level of pricing, competition and volume of work to ensure that competitive estimates are consistently made.

As a clear communicator and methodical character, you will operate well as part of a team and enjoy rolling your sleeves up.

This fantastic appointment is offered with genuine stability and with a company that delivers first class M&E installations.
