Mechanical Estimating Manager

The Opportunity

Our client, a long-established MEP engineering contractor, is opening a new operation in Trafford Park and is looking for a Mechanical Estimating Manager to lead the mechanical estimating function.

The operation opens on a £350 million healthcare project. What it wins after that is the part you would decide.

The work is large-scale MEP across healthcare, education, hotels and commercial developments. On projects of that size the mechanical estimate has to be both competitive and deliverable, because the same business will be building it. The role carries the tender strategy as well as the numbers, working directly with senior management on what to bid and how, with further projects already pencilled into the pipeline behind the opening scheme.

This is a permanent role in Trafford Park, £70,000 to £85,000 depending on experience, plus a full benefits package.

About the Business

A new operation inside an established business is a particular kind of opportunity. The Trafford Park office is being built now, so the processes, the standards and the working relationships are still being set. What sits behind it is already there: the balance sheet, the supply chain and decades of delivered MEP projects. That combination is rare. Most people get the ground-floor role or the established backing, not both.
