We're working with an established M&E contractor based in Cannock who are looking to bring in a Junior Mechanical Estimator and train someone with the right technical background and attitude.

We're particularly interested in speaking with people who have a plumbing or mechanical installation background and are looking for their next career move.
You could be:
- A Qualified Plumber looking to come off the tools
- A Mechanical Engineer / Mechanical Installer
- A Plumbing Supervisor looking for an office-based role
- A Mechanical Improver with strong technical knowledge
- Someone already assisting with pricing or estimating
- Someone with good knowledge of commercial building services who wants to learn estimating
