Key Responsibilities:
We are seeking a high-calibre and motivated Electrical Estimator / Bid Manager to lead the estimating and bid process for a wide range of electrical and M&E projects, including design & build contracts, across the healthcare, commercial, and industrial sectors.
This is a key role in our pre-construction team and will suit someone with a strong understanding of BSRIA design stages, who has experience tendering both as a specialist subcontractor and as a Principal Contractor, with a working knowledge of CDM Regulations.
We are looking for an individual who is not only technically competent but also brings a genuine passion to succeed in a competitive market—someone who thrives on challenge, takes pride in their work, and wants to grow with a forward-thinking business operating at the forefront of the low-carbon and built environment sectors.
* Prepare competitive tenders for electrical and M&E projects, both as a subcontractor and principal contractor
* Interpret client specifications and drawings to develop accurate, compliant pricing solutions
* Contribute to design development and technical proposals aligned with BSRIA design stages
* Liaise with in-house design teams to ensure coordinated and buildable solutions
* Deliver value engineering and commercial insights throughout the bid process
* Identify risks and constraints during tender stage and propose mitigation strategies
Bid Management
* Manage the end-to-end bid process from initial enquiry through to submission and post-tender negotiations
* Prepare clear, compelling technical and commercial submissions
* Coordinate supplier and subcontract pricing to support comprehensive tender returns
* Lead or support pre-qualification documents and framework submissions
* Attend client interviews and contribute to winning strategies
* Interpret and apply CDM Regulations 2015 within bid and pre-construction activities
* Demonstrate awareness of client and contractor duties under CDM, and ensure they are addressed appropriately
Client & Commercial Engagement
* Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, and key stakeholders
* Attend site visits, surveys, and pre-tender meetings as required
* Provide structured handovers to delivery teams post-contract award
* Monitor bid outcomes and support continual improvement of estimating and bid processes
* Identify new opportunities and support wider business development efforts
What We’re Looking For:
* Strong background in electrical estimating and bid management (5+ years preferred)
* Experience with D&B contracts and pre-construction workflows
* Familiarity with BSRIA design stages and CDM regulations
* Understanding of healthcare, commercial and industrial projects
* Comfortable tendering as principal contractor or as part of an M&E team
* Commercially astute with strong attention to detail
* Excellent communicator with confidence in client-facing environments
* Proficient in Microsoft Excel and relevant estimating software
* Understanding of mechanical services and full M&E integration is beneficial
* Full UK driving licence
* HNC/HND or degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services, or related discipline
