About you If you are a Mechanical Estimator who enjoys getting involved in the detail of a tender rather than simply pricing from a completed specification, this could be a really good opportunity for you. You will be joining an established MEP contractor based in Tyldesley, Greater Manchester, working on mechanical packages as part of wider MEP projects ranging from £1 million to £15 million. A lot of the work is within the accommodation sector, although the business is looking for someone who is comfortable pricing different types of projects rather than being restricted to one particular sector. The interesting part of this role is the level of involvement you will have in developing a tender. You will regularly receive enquiries where the design is not fully developed, so you will need to understand what is missing, work out what is required and build up a complete and competitive price. They are looking for someone who understands Design and Build projects and has the technical knowledge and commercial awareness to take responsibility for this process. The salary is £55,000 to £65,000 per annum, plus package , and the business offers hybrid working. Your experience You will need a solid background as a Mechanical Estimator within the building services or MEP sector, with experience pricing mechanical installations on construction projects. Experience working on Design and Build projects is essential. You should be comfortable pricing from a detailed specification, but equally confident when presented with drawings that contain limited information or a design that is still being developed. You will need to understand mechanical building services well enough to identify gaps in the information, establish what needs to be included and produce a comprehensive tender without relying on everything being provided for you. That means having a good understanding of mechanical systems, installation requirements, labour, materials and subcontractor costs. You should be confident carrying out take offs, reviewing drawings and specifications, obtaining quotations from suppliers and subcontractors and building up accurate estimates. Experience working on accommodation projects would be useful, although it is not essential. What matters more is your ability to apply your estimating knowledge across different types of MEP projects. You will also need to be commercially aware, organised and comfortable working through technical information to arrive at a competitive price without overlooking important elements of the work. What you will be doing with your experience You will be responsible for preparing mechanical estimates and tenders for projects with MEP package values ranging from £1 million to £15 million. Much of the work will be within the accommodation sector, although you will also have the opportunity to price projects across other areas of construction. You will review incoming tender enquiries, assess the available drawings and specifications and establish exactly what needs to be included within the mechanical package. On some projects, you will receive a detailed specification and a developed design. On others, you may be working from drawings with significant gaps in the information. You will need to use your technical experience to identify what is missing, establish appropriate allowances and develop a complete estimate that properly reflects the scope of work. You will carry out take offs, obtain supplier and subcontractor quotations, build up labour and material costs and prepare competitive tender submissions. You will also need to consider the practicalities of delivering the work, making sure your estimates account for the installation requirements rather than simply relying on the information shown on a drawing. A big part of the role will involve understanding the risks within a tender, identifying assumptions and making sure the business has a clear understanding of what has been included in the price. You will be involved in developing commercially sensible tenders that give the business a realistic opportunity of winning work while protecting its margins. About the business You will be joining an established MEP contractor based in Tyldesley, Greater Manchester. The business works on projects with MEP package values ranging from £1 million to £15 million, with a significant proportion of its work coming from the accommodation sector. They are looking for a Mechanical Estimator who can bring strong technical knowledge and experience of Design and Build projects. The ability to work with incomplete design information is particularly important. They want someone who can look at a set of drawings, understand what is required and put together a complete tender rather than needing every detail to be provided. This could be a good opportunity if you are currently working as a Mechanical Estimator and want a position where your technical judgement and estimating experience will be genuinely valuable. The role is based in Tyldesley, M29, with hybrid working available. The salary is £55,000 to £65,000 per annum, plus package.
