Mechanicasl Estimating / Pre-Construction Manager

The Opportunity

Our client, a well-established electrical contractor based in Blackpool, is launching a mechanical division and is looking for a Mechanical Estimating / Pre-Construction Manager to set it up.

Most estimating roles ask you to fit into a department somebody else built. This one asks you to build it.

In practice that means pricing the first packages the division ever puts out, building a mechanical supply chain from nothing, setting the processes and standards, and winning the work that gets the thing moving. The electrical side turns over around £5 million and the ambition is to take mechanical to something similar, so the target is clear even if the route to it has not been drawn yet.

This is a permanent role in Blackpool, £70,000 to £80,000 depending on experience, plus a full benefits package.

Starting a division inside an established contractor is a different proposition from starting one from scratch. The client relationships already exist, the main contractors already take their calls, and the reputation that takes a new business five years to build is in place before you arrive. What is missing is the mechanical capability itself, which is precisely what this role supplies.
