Tendering Engineer
West Yorkshire | £47,500 - £60,000 + Pension + Training
If you’re stuck pricing repeat work with little technical input or ownership, this role will feel different.
This business designs and builds bespoke LV switchgear and power distribution systems for industrial and infrastructure projects across the UK. They’re established, technically credible, and still engineer solutions properly rather than forcing standard products into every job.
They’re looking for a Tendering Engineer who can take ownership of quotations and technical proposals from enquiry through to handover.
The role will involve:
* Reviewing client specifications and electrical drawings
* Producing accurate quotations and costings
* Developing technically compliant solutions
* Liaising with suppliers on pricing and lead times
* Supporting value engineering discussions with clients
* Working closely with projects and manufacturing teams once orders are secured
One of the biggest advantages here is the variety. Every customer and every project is different, so the role won’t suit someone who wants to stay in a narrow lane commercially or technically.
You’ll need:
* Experience within electrical estimating or tendering
* Ability to read electrical schematics and technical specifications
* Strong attention to detail and commercial awareness
* Good communication skills with suppliers, customers, and internal teams
* LV switchgear or power distribution experience would be a strong advantage
What’s on offer:
* £47,500 - £60,000 salary
* Performance-related bonus
* Pension
* Ongoing training and development
* Monday to Friday working hours
* Long-term progression into projects for the right person
The business is open-minded on level. They’ll consider someone already established in tendering or someone with the right technical foundation who wants to grow into a broader project-focused role over time. For the right person, this is the kind of role where you stop feeling like a number in a process and start becoming part of the engineering decisions that actually shape projects.
