This company is growing with great expansion plans and staff investment ideas to ensure you develop to the best of your ability.Â
Working closely with the sales and design teams, you will receive project specifications and drawings, which you will use to prepare accurate quotations via the company’s estimation system. You’ll also liaise with suppliers for pricing information and occasionally attend meetings alongside sales colleagues.
In this role, you will be responsible for reviewing specifications and drawings to produce accurate quotations, ensuring that these are prepared and issued to clients promptly. As project requirements evolve, you will also make the necessary adjustments to quotations. Building strong supplier relationships will be key, as you will need to liaise with them to secure competitive pricing.
Collaboration is a key aspect of the position, involving close work with sales colleagues and attending client meetings as needed. You will also contribute to a positive and collaborative culture within our open-plan office environment.
We are seeking an estimator with experience in a high-tech industry, or someone willing to learn this skill, with the ability to interpret technical drawings. Strong communication and organisational abilities are essential, along with a detail-oriented mindset and commercial awareness.
The ideal candidate will also be able to manage their workload effectively and prioritise tasks to meet deadlines.
This role is looking for:
- Experience estimating high-value technology
- Willingness to learnÂ
- Good communication and organisational skills
