High-End Commercial Fit-Out | £2m–£10m Projects | Tender Ownership | Career Progression
An established and highly regarded M&E Building Services contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Electrical Estimator to strengthen its Pre-Construction team in East London.
The business specialises in the delivery of high-end commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects throughout London, working with major clients across premium office, commercial and mixed-use environments. Typical project values range from approximately £2 million to £10 million, with substantial electrical packages forming a key part of the company’s workload.
With an excellent reputation, longstanding client relationships and a strong pipeline of London-based projects, the company offers the stability of an established contractor together with a collaborative and professional working environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior-level estimator who wants genuine ownership of substantial tenders, involvement in pre-construction strategy and value engineering, and the autonomy to make an important contribution within an experienced team.
There are also genuine long-term career progression opportunities for someone looking to continue developing within a successful and well-established M&E contractor.
The Opportunity
As Senior Electrical Estimator, you will take ownership of complex electrical tenders across a varied portfolio of commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects.
Working closely with the wider Pre-Construction team, Directors, clients and consultants, you will manage tenders from initial enquiry through to final submission and handover.

* Reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documentation
* Preparing accurate and commercially competitive estimates
* Obtaining and analysing supplier and subcontractor quotations
* Contributing to tender strategy and value engineering
* Identifying commercial and technical risk
* Liaising confidently with clients, consultants and the wider project team
* Supporting tender presentations, negotiations and final submissions
* Ensuring a detailed and effective handover into project delivery
The role is primarily office-based in East London, although the business offers a sensible degree of flexibility where appropriate.

* Excellent technical and commercial awareness
* Experience contributing to tender strategy and value engineering
* The ability to manage complex tenders independently
* Strong client, consultant, supplier and subcontractor communication skills
* Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work effectively to demanding tender deadlines
The position would particularly suit someone accustomed to working within the fast-paced London fit-out market and capable of taking genuine ownership of major tender opportunities.
