Senior Electrical Estimator — Up to £100k + Package
London Projects | Tier 1 Contractor Environment
I’m working with a well‑established main contractor delivering complex projects across London, and they’re looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Estimator to strengthen their pre‑construction team.
This isn’t a “pricing from drawings in isolation” role.
They want someone commercially sharp, technically credible, and confident engaging with delivery teams — someone who understands how M&E packages are actually built, not just costed.
You will be working on a mix of major commercial, healthcare, life sciences, and complex refurbishment schemes across London, typically ranging from £10m‑£150m+ project values.
The Role
- Leading electrical estimating packages from tender enquiry through to final submission
- Producing detailed cost plans, take‑offs, and pricing strategies
- Reviewing specifications, drawings, and employer’s requirements
- Liaising with supply chain to obtain competitive quotations
- Working closely with pre‑construction, commercial, and technical services teams
- Identifying value engineering opportunities and risk allowances
- Supporting bid presentations and client engagement where required
This is a senior position with genuine influence over project wins — not just number crunching.
What They’re Looking For
- Electrical Estimator within a main contractor or M&E contractor
- Experience pricing projects in the £5m‑£30m+ MEP range
- Strong understanding of electrical systems (LV, HV, lighting, containment, BMS integration etc.)
- Ability to interpret technical information and challenge designs commercially
- Stable career history with credible employers
- Comfortable working within a collaborative pre‑construction environment
- Senior‑level candidates or strong Estimators ready to step up will both be considered.
Salary & Package
- Up to £100,000 base salary
- Car allowance / travel allowance
- Bonus
- Private healthcare
- Pension
- Genuine progression into Pre‑Construction leadership
Why This Role
- Long‑term pipeline of secured London projects
- Strong reputation for delivering technically complex schemes
- Stable business with repeat clients
- Clear career progression pathway
- Supportive senior leadership team
The Reality
The hiring manager isn’t looking for someone who just sends prices back.
They want someone who:
- Understands delivery
- Thinks commercially
- Challenges assumptions
- Adds value to bids
- Takes ownership
