Senior electrical estimator

Job Description

Why this role exists

This appointment has been created deliberately, not reactively.

Our client is strengthening its pre-construction function in response to a sustained increase in secured and negotiated work. Rather than pushing volume through an overstretched estimating team, the business is investing in senior leadership to improve bid quality, consistency and commercial decision-making.

If youre currently pricing tenders under constant time pressure, firefighting poor information, or carrying senior responsibility without real influence, this role offers something different.


The Company

Our client is a long-established, privately owned building services contractor delivering complex electrical and Mechanical projects across the South West. They operate with a stable order book, strong repeat clients and a measured approach to growth - not a boom-and-bust tender model.

The culture is commercially disciplined, technically credible and pragmatic. Pre-construction is treated as a strategic function, not just a pricing department.


The Role

This is a true senior position combining hands-on estimating with leadership and influence.

You will lead a small electrical estimating team, take ownership of tender strategy, and work closely with senior management to shape how projects are priced and risk is managed - not simply respond to bid deadlines.
