Mechanical & Electrical Estimator Salary: £45,000 - £65,000 per annum (depending on experience) Employment: Full Time Location: Stokesley, TS9 About the Company Our client is a growing mechanical and electrical contracting business working across the commercial, industrial and residential sectors, with a strong and expanding focus on renewable energy including solar PV, EV charging infrastructure, battery storage and heat pump integration. They are a close-knit, professional team who take pride in delivering high-quality, reliable work for clients across the North East of England. The business forms part of a fast-growing UK technical services group whose mission is to unite complementary capabilities in Mechanical, Electrical, HVAC, Renewables and Fire & Security to better serve commercial and industrial clients. Joining the business means contributing to essential infrastructure while benefiting from the scale, investment and long-term career opportunities offered by the wider group. Job Profile The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the growth of the business by taking ownership of the estimating and tendering function across both mechanical and electrical works. Working closely with engineers, project managers and the wider commercial team, they will lead on estimates from initial enquiry through to competitive, well-considered submissions across commercial, industrial and residential projects, including renewable technologies such as solar PV, EV charging, battery storage and heat pumps. Beyond estimating, they will contribute to supplier relationships, procurement strategy and the commercial oversight of live projects, helping the business price accurately, win the right work and continue moving towards a more self-delivered model. The role would suit an experienced Mechanical & Electrical Estimator with a proven track record of preparing and winning competitive tenders across both disciplines. Candidates should have sound knowledge of mechanical building services (HVAC, pipework, ductwork, plumbing and public health) alongside electrical services, together with a working knowledge of UK electrical standards including BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). The ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical drawings and specifications accurately is essential, as is strong commercial acumen, an understanding of margins, risk and what makes a tender competitive, supported by strong numeracy, attention to detail and the ability to work to deadlines. A collaborative approach is important, as the successful candidate will work across a small, multidisciplinary team and contribute beyond a narrow job description. An HNC/HND or Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Building Services or a related discipline (or an equivalent trade background) would be advantageous, along with experience of renewable energy systems, familiarity with AutoCAD and estimating software, materials procurement and supplier management, and knowledge of CIBSE guidance, Part L and SAP assessment processes. In addition to a competitive salary, you'll have access to an excellent benefits package including a Health Cash Plan (helping you claim money back on everyday costs such as dental and optical treatment), life insurance, workplace pension, the option to buy or sell annual leave, a Cycle to Work scheme and a £1,000 employee referral bonus . Key Duties and Responsibilities Taking ownership of the full estimating process from receipt of tender documentation through to competitive, well-considered submissions. Preparing detailed cost estimates and tender submissions for combined mechanical and electrical works across commercial, industrial and residential projects, including renewable technologies (solar PV, EV charging, battery storage and heat pumps). Estimating mechanical services including heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), pipework, ductwork, plumbing and public health, and low-carbon heating systems.

They are a close-knit, professional team who take pride in delivering high-quality, reliable work for clients across the North East of England. The business forms part of a fast-growing UK technical services group whose mission is to unite complementary capabilities in Mechanical, Electrical, HVAC, Renewables and Fire & Security to better serve commercial and industrial clients. Joining the business means contributing to essential infrastructure while benefiting from the scale, investment and long-term career opportunities offered by the wider group. Job Profile The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the growth of the business by taking ownership of the estimating and tendering function across both mechanical and electrical works.

The ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical drawings and specifications accurately is essential, as is strong commercial acumen, an understanding of margins, risk and what makes a tender competitive, supported by strong numeracy, attention to detail and the ability to work to deadlines. A collaborative approach is important, as the successful candidate will work across a small, multidisciplinary team and contribute beyond a narrow job description.
