Salary: Competitive + Company Vehicle/Allowance + Bonus (DOE)
An established and growing electrical contractor is seeking an experienced Electrical Technical Sales & Estimating Manager to drive new business growth while supporting the delivery of high-quality electrical solutions across commercial, industrial, retail and facilities management sectors. This is an exciting opportunity for a technically strong and commercially focused professional to play a key role in expanding market presence and strengthening client relationships.
The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying and targeting new business opportunities, proactively engaging with decision-makers including facilities managers, landlords, consultants and project leads. You will attend site visits to assess requirements, scope works and develop tailored solutions that meet client needs while aligning with company capabilities and margins.
A core part of the role will involve maintaining and developing relationships with existing clients, ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction and securing repeat business. Acting as the main point of contact for key accounts, you will provide technical guidance and support, helping clients make informed decisions regarding installations, testing, inspection, remedial works and compliance requirements.
Working closely with the operations team, you will prepare detailed and accurate electrical estimates and quotations for new tenders and projects. This will include reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documentation, liaising with suppliers and subcontractors to secure competitive pricing, conducting site visits where required, and supporting projects through both tender and delivery stages. You will translate technical detail into clear and practical proposals, ensuring all submissions reflect company standards and profitability targets.
You will lead sales meetings, presentations and client walk-throughs, prepare and submit competitive tenders, and negotiate pricing and terms in line with company policy. Close collaboration with engineers, project managers and supervisors will be essential to ensure a smooth transition from sales to project delivery, providing technical interpretation during project kick-off and throughout works where necessary.
The role also requires strong market awareness, keeping up to date with NICEIC standards, electrical safety regulations and emerging technologies such as EV charging infrastructure, LED upgrades, energy efficiency systems, BMS and EMS solutions. You will identify new service lines and growth opportunities, helping to shape and refine the company’s offering based on market trends and field feedback.
You will maintain accurate CRM records, manage sales pipelines and forecasts, and provide regular progress reports to senior management, including the Commercial Director and Group Managing Director.
To be considered, you will have proven experience in technical sales, estimating or business development within an electrical contracting, FM or building services environment. A strong understanding of electrical installations, testing and inspection, remedial works and compliance is essential, along with the ability to read and interpret technical drawings and specifications. Knowledge of energy efficiency systems, controls, LED upgrades, EV charge installations and BMS/EMS systems is highly desirable. An 18th Edition qualification or relevant technical certification would be advantageous but is not essential.
You will be highly organised, capable of managing multiple enquiries and projects simultaneously, and confident in both negotiation and presentation settings. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills are key, along with strong customer empathy, professionalism, tenacity and a positive, can-do attitude. A full UK driving licence is required.
