Mechanical Estimator

The Opportunity

Our client, a family-owned M&E engineering group, is opening a new office in Warrington and is looking for a Mechanical Estimator to price mechanical packages across their live bids.

Between £4 million and £30 million, a mechanical package is large enough to be worth pricing properly and small enough to be yours, from the first take-off through to award.

The mechanical estimate and the electrical estimate get produced separately, the interfaces between them are priced twice or not at all, and the gap turns up on site. Pricing the two alongside each other changes the quality of the submission, and it makes for better work: the questions that come up at the boundary between the disciplines are usually the ones worth asking.

You would be pricing for major developers and main contractors. This is a permanent role in Warrington, £60,000 to £70,000 depending on experience, plus a full benefits package.
