Junior Mechanical Estimator

Junior Mechanical Estimator

Cannock | M&E Contractor | Up to £40,000 DOE

Are you a Plumber, Mechanical Engineer or experienced Mechanical Installer looking to get off the tools and move into estimating?

We’re working with an established M&E contractor based in Cannock who are looking to bring in a Junior Mechanical Estimator and train someone with the right technical background and attitude.

This could be a great opportunity for someone from a plumbing / mechanical building services background who understands how systems are installed and now wants to develop a career within mechanical estimating.

The Role

You’ll work alongside the existing estimating team, learning how to price and prepare tenders for a range of mechanical building services projects.

You’ll be involved in:

• Assisting with mechanical estimates and tenders

• Reviewing drawings, specifications and schedules

• Pricing labour, materials and subcontract packages

• Assisting with take-offs and quantities

• Obtaining supplier and subcontractor quotations

• Supporting the preparation of tender submissions

• Liaising with suppliers, subcontractors and clients

• Developing your knowledge of mechanical building services and estimating

• Working closely with the senior estimating and commercial teams

Who We’re Looking For

We’re particularly interested in speaking with people who have a plumbing or mechanical installation background and are looking for their next career move.

You could be:

• A Qualified Plumber looking to come off the tools

• A Mechanical Engineer / Mechanical Installer

• A Plumbing Supervisor looking for an office-based role

• A Mechanical Improver with strong technical knowledge

• Someone already assisting with pricing or estimating

• Someone with good knowledge of commercial building services who wants to learn estimating

Estimating experience isn't essential — the key is having a good understanding of mechanical services, being comfortable with numbers and drawings, and having the right attitude to learn.
