• Developing manufacturing routes including estimated production times and processes
• Specifying raw material dimensions to ensure the most efficient manufacturing route
• Obtaining quotations for raw materials and subcontract services
• Identifying subcontract requirements including welding, coating, spark erosion and other specialist processes

• Maintaining EFACS with accurate routings, costs, stock parameters and estimated delivery information
• Supporting the ongoing development and improvement of the estimating and quotation process
• Carrying out contract reviews with relevant stakeholders to ensure technical capability and compliance with customer requirements
• Supporting RFQ activities, including obtaining pricing from subcontract suppliers
• Ensuring any deviations from customer drawings or specifications are clearly identified and documented
• Attending internal PPM meetings on behalf of Sales and Manufacturing
• Ensuring customer RFQ deadlines are met
• Supporting the preparation of customer quotations by technically evaluating enquiries and generating accurate estimates
The Candidate
To be considered for the Manufacturing Estimating Engineer role, you should have a strong manufacturing background and ideally previous experience within Manufacturing Engineering, Estimating or a similar role.
The role could also suit an experienced Machinist who is looking to move away from the shop floor and develop their career within estimating, commercial or sales.
You should have a good understanding of manufacturing processes, machining and production methods, along with the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
You will also need to be commercially aware, highly organised and comfortable working to customer deadlines.
Key Requirements

• Self-motivated with a proactive approach
