The Role You will be responsible for the preparation of detailed cost estimates across a range of complex mechanical building services works, supporting tender submissions from initial enquiry through to final commercial review. Operating within a highly regulated project environment, you'll produce technically robust estimates, assess delivery risks and opportunities, and contribute to the successful tendering of major mechanical packages. Key Responsibilities Prepare detailed estimates for mechanical building services packages. Review drawings, specifications and tender documentation. Undertake detailed quantity take-offs and pricing exercises. Obtain and evaluate quotations from suppliers and subcontractors. Identify risks, opportunities and value engineering proposals. Develop tender clarifications, assumptions and exclusions. Support tender review and governance processes. Collaborate with operational and commercial teams to develop winning bids. Maintain accurate estimating and tender records throughout the bid lifecycle. What We're Looking For Proven experience as a Mechanical Estimator within Buil
