Engineering degree completed… but not sure you want a traditional design office role?
Looking for a position where you can combine technical knowledge with problem solving, customer interaction and commercial exposure?
This opportunity could be exactly what you’re after.
We’re supporting a well-established engineering business that works on complex industrial systems used within large commercial and manufacturing environments. Following continued growth, they are looking to recruit a Graduate Estimating Engineer to join their specialist projects and commercial team.
This role would suit someone who enjoys the technical side of engineering, but also has the confidence and personality to work closely with customers, suppliers and colleagues across the business.
Importantly, this is not a heavily sales-driven environment focused on cold calling or unrealistic targets. Instead, the role centres around understanding engineering requirements, preparing accurate project quotations and helping customers identify the right technical solution.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and commercial specialists, gradually taking ownership of a variety of project and service-related quotations.
Typical duties will include:
Preparing cost estimates for engineering works, repairs and upgrade projects
Reviewing drawings, technical information and customer requirements
Calculating labour, materials and external contractor costs
Speaking with suppliers to obtain pricing and lead times
Producing clear and professional proposals for customers
Supporting customers with technical and commercial queries
Updating internal systems and tracking quotation activity
Visiting customer sites occasionally with senior team members
You’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of engineering projects and applications, giving you an excellent platform to build both technical and commercial experience.
What They’re Looking For
Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Energy Engineering or a similar technical subject
Strong communication skills and a professional approach
Good attention to detail and numerical confidence
Interested in engineering systems, industrial technology and problem solving
Motivated to build a long-term career within a growing engineering business
Full UK driving licence
Graduates with placement experience, part-time technical work or customer-facing experience would be particularly interesting, although this isn’t essential.
Why Apply?
Excellent training and mentoring from experienced professionals
Clear progression into senior commercial or technical engineering roles
Opportunity to work on interesting industrial projects
Supportive and collaborative team environment
Company vehicle provided after probation
Growing business with long-term opportunities
Competitive salary and benefits package
This is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious graduate who wants to move into a varied engineering role offering far more than a standard graduate desk job
