Job Description:
An outstanding salary package is now on offer for both a Mechanical and Electrical Estimator to join the Hampshire office of a major M&E Contractor; Group turnover of work secured for the Hampshire office - 30 million.

Our client has been delivering first-class building services in Hampshire and the South West for over 100 years.

The company is now one of the leading mechanical and electrical contractors in Hampshire, parts of the West Country and central London.

Since its acquisition 15 years ago by a main contracting group its development has been led by the direction of this highly successful main-contracting group.

Heavy investment in quality control was given early on as half the reason for purchasing our client was to ensure and sustain internal accountability for excellence of service.

Fitting in with the contracting services of the group our client has a large proportion of all new build residential projects in the South, especially in Hampshire, where the company was originally established.

The company's recent flagship project is the securing of what will be the tallest residential structure in Europe.

Along with market places including pharmaceutical and commercial builds the work of our client is always dictated by the main-contracting direction of the group as a whole.

The nature of this relationship lends to an extremely positive working environment as bonuses and performance are guided at a group rather than individual company level.

The role:

Estimator reporting to the Director
The preparation, submission and management of allocated tenders

Key tasks:

Accurately quantify materials, plant and labour requirements for allocated projects
Ensure that for pre-designed projects, enquiries relative to the supply of materials, plant and labour are satisfactorily dealt with and that relevant information, contractual and trading particulars are distributed

Produce summary sheet and associated documentation and presentation of the package for tender adjudication to meet deadlines
Prepare client documentation on completion of tender, including production of associate correspondence
Prepare post-tender reports
Prepare files to laid-down standards and undertake costing variations
In relation to preparation of tenders, attend site surveys and liaise with other departments, suppliers and subcontractors to tender submission stage
Negotiate lowest prices with suppliers and subcontractors
Advise the Director of potential areas of savings and value engineering solutions
When allocated the lead role, assume responsibility for co-ordination with other Estimators on tasks completed, within given timescales and checking their output for inclusion within the tender

Experience:

HNC/HND or other recognised qualification in Mechanical or Electrical Building Services or excellent craft experience
Experience of a wide range of Mechanical or Electrical Building Services installations and systems in the UK
A proven estimating track record
The ability to read, interpret and understand specifications and drawings
Experience of computerised estimating software
The ability to supervise Estimators and assistants in a team to achieve tender return dates and take responsibility for that team
The ability to work under pressure and to deadlines
Product knowledge within the Mechanical or Electrical sector in the UK

An outstanding opportunity:

Extremely positive working environment as bonuses of all employees are related to group performance
The company's excellent reputation has enabled it to secure the UK's most prestigious residential project for 2008/9
Excellent social links to Hampshire, the county our client was originally established in
Heavy investment in quality control and health and safety gives all the work our client undertakes the edge over competition
