Mac Electrics Ltd
Electrical estimator
€50,000 a year
Posted: 14h ago
Offer description

Mac Electrics Ltd is a family-run business based in the heart of Armagh with over 40 years in the electrical contracting trade. We specialise in providing comprehensive electrical services for commercial and industrial projects across the UK and Ireland.


About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Estimator to support the continued growth of our electrical contracting business across Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland / UK projects.

This role goes beyond take‑offs — you will play a key part in commercial decision‑making, tender strategy, risk management and margin protection, working closely with directors and project teams.


Key Responsibilities

* Prepare accurate and competitive estimates for electrical projects across ROI and NI/UK
* Interpret drawings, specifications, BOQs and employer’s requirements
* Build robust labour, material, plant and subcontractor pricing
* Engage with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain competitive quotations
* Identify risks, opportunities and value engineering options at tender stage
* Prepare tender submissions, clarifications and post‑tender breakdowns
* Support handover to operations and assist with post‑tender commercial input where required
* Recognised electrical trade qualification
* NVQ Level 3 / 4 Electrical Installation (NI/UK equivalent)
* Proven experience as an Electrical Estimator or similar commercial role
* Strong technical knowledge of commercial & industrial electrical installations
* High competency in:
* Reading electrical drawings and specifications
* Excel‑based pricing and analysis
* Estimating software (industry standard platforms)
* Commercially aware with a clear understanding of:
* Labour constants
* Risk and opportunity management


Contractual & Market Knowledge

Candidates should have experience in one or more of the following (cross‑border experience is an advantage):


Republic of Ireland

* Public Works Contracts (PW‑CF forms)
* BOQs, Employer’s Requirements and change control
* ETCI National Rules for Electrical Installations


Northern Ireland / UK

* JCT contracts (Design & Build / Traditional)
* BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations)
* HNC / HND / Degree in Electrical or Building Services Engineering
* Experience in education, healthcare or public sector projects
* Ability to mentor junior estimators or assist in developing estimating systems


What We’re Looking For

* A commercially minded estimator who understands how tender decisions affect profitability
* Someone comfortable working directly with senior management
* Strong communicator with suppliers, consultants and internal teams
* Organised, detail‑focused and able to work to tender deadlines


What We Offer

* Competitive salary, based on experience
* Long‑term career progression within a growing business
* Opportunity to influence commercial strategy and tender success
* Supportive management team with a focus on improvement and growth


Why This Role Is Different

This is not a “numbers‑only” role. You will be trusted to challenge assumptions, improve tender quality and contribute to strategic commercial decisions as the business continues to expand across ROI and NI/UK.
