A rapidly expanding manufacturing business supplying products into the construction sector is looking to appoint a Technical Estimator as part of its continued growth.
This is a fast-paced, high-volume environment where priorities can shift quickly. The business is looking for someone who enjoys momentum, can juggle multiple enquiries at once, and brings a proactive, solutions-focused mindset to their work.
The role
Working closely with both customers and internal teams, you’ll manage estimating activity from initial enquiry through to final quotation, ensuring a strong balance between technical accuracy and commercial awareness.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Reviewing customer enquiries, drawings and specifications
* Producing accurate and timely costings for manufactured products used on construction projects
* Clarifying technical requirements with customers and internal stakeholders
* Managing multiple live enquiries while working to deadlines
* Maintaining pricing and enquiry information using internal systems
* Supporting ongoing improvements to estimating processes as the business continues to scale
What we’re looking for
This role will suit a driven, organised and people-focused individual who performs well in a busy environment.
* Experience in estimating, technical sales, or a similar commercial/technical role – we would consider engineers with pricing experience looking to move into a fully office based role
* A good technical understanding and confidence interpreting drawings or specifications
* Strong numerical accuracy and attention to detail
* Good Excel skills
* The ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
* A proactive, respectful and career-minded approach
* A relevant degree (such as engineering, manufacturing or a related technical discipline) would be advantageous but is not essential.
What’s on offer
* Competitive salary, which is negotiable, but most likely between £30,000 – £45,000, depending on experience
* Full-time hours: 7:00am – 4:00pm, Monday to Friday
* A role within a business that is growing quickly and investing in its people
* Genuine scope for development and progression as the company continues to expand
* A collaborative, hands-on working environment
