  • Build and maintain relationships with suppliers and subcontractors to secure competitive pricing


  • Attend and lead tender reviews, value engineering sessions, and strategy meetings


  • Support and mentor junior members of the estimating team


  • Provide detailed handovers to delivery teams, ensuring continuity through pre-construction


    Candidate Requirements

    • Minimum of 7–10 years’ MEP estimating experience, ideally with Tier One or large M&E contractors


    • Strong understanding of both mechanical and electrical services in commercial environments


    • Proven ability to manage complex tenders and lead estimating on high-value bids


    • Commercially and technically strong with excellent attention to detail


    • Experience using estimating software (e.g., Trimble, Amtech, ConQuest, etc.)


    • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills


      The Offer

      • Excellent salary + comprehensive executive-level package


      • Hybrid working (London and Essex offices, with home flexibility)


      • Long-term progression opportunities with a major Tier One contractor


      • Direct involvement in some of the UK’s most significant commercial projects


        This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior MEP Estimator to join a well-established and forward-thinking contractor with a strong reputation in the commercial construction sector.
