If you're an experienced Mechanical Estimator looking for more flexibility, better rewards, and a steady pipeline of interesting work — this could be the one.
The role
You'll be pricing up mechanical services projects (mainly HVAC and pipework), from first look at the drawings through to handing over a winning bid. That means managing the full estimation process - reviewing specs, issuing subby and supplier enquiries, measuring up, building cost models, and helping the team submit competitive, compliant tenders.
Expect a good mix of office, home, and site time, with visits across London. You'll be supported by a solid contracts team and report into the Director for sign-off.
Must-haves
* Solid background in mechanical building services estimating
* Strong technical knowledge - especially HVAC systems and pipework
* Ability to read drawings, produce cost reports, and juggle multiple tenders
* Confident communicator - you'll be working with clients, subbies and suppliers
* Full UK driving licence (site visits required)
Nice-to-haves
* Experience with estimation software (or willingness to get stuck in and help shape it)
* Value engineering experience
* Comfortable attending interviews (mid or post-tender) to talk through proposals
What's on offer
There's a base salary of £60,000, plus a car allowance, and an annual bonus of around £10,000. You'll get 25 days' holiday plus bank hols, full expenses for business travel, and the usual extras - pension, birthday day off, volunteering days, and support with health care. There's also a structured appraisal process and ongoing development opportunities.
The company offers a hybrid working setup, with a strong team culture and clear progression routes within estimating and pre-construction.
