Job description

Overview

We're working with a well-established electrical contractor in Bury to find a skilled Electrical Estimator. This full-time, permanent role offers the chance to join a close-knit, loyal team and contribute to both design & build and reactive service projects across commercial and industrial sectors.

If you're confident with technical drawings, delivering accurate tenders, and want to work for a company that values longevity, career development, and genuine team culture, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

About the Company

Our client has grown into one of the North-West's leading electrical contractors, with a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and technical excellence.

Over 60% of their team have been with the company for more than a decade - a clear sign of the supportive and stability-driven environment they've built.

The company runs a strong apprenticeship and ongoing training scheme, welcoming newcomers and experienced staff alike, and values long-term career journeys.

What You'll Be Doing

• Producing detailed, accurate estimates for electrical projects-spanning full design & build, reactive maintenance, and specialist installations
• Reviewing drawings, specs, and tender documents for clarity and scope
• Collaborating with supply chain partners to secure reliable pricing and technical information
• Identifying risks, alternates, and cost-saving value engineering options
• Supporting bid submissions and join pre/post-tender client meetings when required
• Working with service and project teams to ensure smooth handovers

You'll be part of a commercial team that delivers quality bids on time, backed with technical insight and solid financial logic.

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience estimating electrical building services-and ideally combined with design & build or service exposure
• Ability to read, interpret, and cost from technical drawings and specifications
• Familiarity with estimating software and confident Excel skills
• Strong organisation, attention to detail, and ability to meet deadlines
• Commercial awareness and ability to flag risks or opportunities early
• Good communication and team-based approach

Relevant qualifications or certifications are welcome but not essential. What matters most is your skill and commitment.

Benefits

• Competitive salary between £55,000 - £65,000
• Broad benefits package including pension and holidays
• A stable, collaborative team with very low staff turnover
• Opportunities for training and long-term development
• A role that combines estimating with insight into service & reactive operations
• An established, respected regional contractor that values employee growth
