Mechanical Estimator City of London 60,000 - 75,000 + package If you are a Mechanical Estimator and one of your stronger areas is thermal insulation, this is the sort of role that gives you more room to use that properly. This position sits within a mechanical building services environment, with a clear requirement for someone who understands the thermal insulation side of the package across office and residential projects in London. You would be pricing mechanical services work with a particular focus on insulation tied to pipework, ductwork, valves, plant and associated systems. It is not a generic estimating role where that experience is just a nice extra. They want somebody who understands that specialist sector and can bring that knowledge into live tenders from the outset. The role would suit someone who is already working as a Mechanical Estimator, but who has picked up solid experience pricing thermal insulation within the wider mechanical scope. You will need to be comfortable reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documents, carrying out take-offs, speaking with suppliers and specialist subcontractors, and putting together accurate tender returns that reflect both the technical detail and the commercial reality of the job. What you will be doing Pricing mechanical building services packages with a particular focus on the thermal insulation scope across office and residential projects Reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documents to understand the full mechanical and insulation package Taking off quantities for pipework, ductwork, plant, valves and associated insulation requirements Sending enquiries to suppliers and specialist insulation subcontractors, analysing returns and levelling quotations Building up labour, material, access and programme allowances to produce accurate and commercially sound tenders Working closely with internal teams to ensure the mechanical package is technically aligned and competitively priced Supporting tender submissions, cost planning and value engineering where needed What they are looking for Previous experience as a Mechanical Estimator within building services A strong understanding of thermal insulation as part of the wider mechanical package Experience pricing insulation tied to pipework, ductwork, plant and associated mechanical services Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications and schedules Commercial awareness around labour build-ups, supplier engagement, subcontract packages and tender strategy Someone who can work with a good level of independence and take ownership of their tenders Why this role is worth looking at This is a good fit for a Mechanical Estimator who has built genuine knowledge in a more specialist area of the market and wants that to be seen as a core strength rather than a side note. The brief is clear, the sector knowledge matters, and the role sits in a part of the business where that experience has real value. If your background covers mechanical estimating with solid exposure to thermal insulation, this is the sort of move that makes sense. For a confidential discussion, get in touch.
