Job Description:

High-End Fit-Out Contractor

This isn’t a traditional mechanical estimating role.

A design‑led fit‑out contractor is looking to bring in a Senior Mechanical Preconstruction Estimator for what is a newly created position within the company, to strengthen its front‑end capability across high‑value commercial projects.

You’ll operate at the early stages of schemes, taking ownership of mechanical cost planning, interrogating MEP subcontractor tenders, and helping shape procurement and delivery strategy.

No heavy take‑offs. No rinse‑and‑repeat tendering.

This is about commercial control, technical insight, and influence.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Building mechanical cost plans from early‑stage design
  • Reviewing and challenging MEP subcontractor pricing
  • Supporting two‑stage tenders and PCSA processes
  • Identifying risk, gaps, and VE opportunities
  • Advising on buildability and procurement strategy

Why this role:

  • Strategic position within preconstruction
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership
  • Clear route into Precon / Commercial leadership
  • High‑quality, technically interesting projects

Ideal background:

  • MEP Contractor or consultancy experience
  • Strong technical and commercial understanding

If you’re looking to move away from pure estimating into a more influential role, this is the step up.
