We're looking for an M&E Estimator with a strong electrical bias to join a growing, design-conscious team delivering technically robust projects across the commercial and residential sectors.

The Role
• Prepare accurate, competitive estimates for electrical and M&E projects
• Interpret drawings, specs, and tender documents with confidence
• Build detailed cost plans covering labour, materials, and plant
• Analyse subcontractor and supplier pricing
• Identify risks, opportunities, and value engineering options
• Work closely with design, commercial, and delivery teams
• Proven experience as an Electrical or M&E Estimator
• Strong technical knowledge of electrical systems and installations
• Confident with take-offs, cost planning, and tender submissions
• Commercially aware, detail-driven, and highly organised
• Familiar with industry standards (including BS 7671)
• Flexible remote / hybrid working
• Projects that require thinking, not just pricing
• A collaborative team where estimators have real input
• Opportunity to influence bids and shape project success
Apply now if you're ready to take ownership of your estimates and be part of a team that values precision and professionalism. Please call Rhian on 07969 972412 for further information
