We're looking for an experienced Sales Estimator with large estimating expertise to join a leading manufacturer of security fencing products.
What You Will Be Doing
* Produce accurate and competitive estimates for high security and perimeter protection projects across the UK. Review architectural drawings, specifications, and technical documentation to calculate material requirements, labour costs, and project timelines.
* Work closely with internal stakeholders to respond to enquiries, prepare quotations, and support tender submissions. Conduct site surveys when required, take off quantities from drawings, and liaise with suppliers to ensure competitive pricing, while ensuring all estimates align with certified compliance requirements.
* Manage multiple estimate requests in a fast paced environment while maintaining accuracy and speed that secure project wins. Use analytical thinking and problem solving skills to deliver estimates that balance competitiveness with profitability.
Skills and Experience Required
* Confidence reading technical drawings and specifications, excellent numerical skills, proficiency with estimating software and the MS Office Suite, particularly Excel. Experience with construction estimating tools and CRM systems is advantageous.
* Responsible for managing and maintaining own pipeline of enquiries, conducting scheduled follow ups on outstanding quotations, forming strong working relationships with repeat customers, and closing out sales. Positive attitude, willingness to collaborate, and clear communication skills are essential.
* Knowledge of LPS 1175 or PAS 68 certified security products is set you apart but not essential. Professional approach, strong organisational ability, and confidence to communicate clearly and effectively across internal and external stakeholders.
