The operation opens on a £350 million healthcare project. What it wins after that is the part you would decide. The work is large-scale MEP across healthcare, education, hotels and commercial developments. On projects of that size the mechanical estimate has to be both competitive and deliverable, because the same business will be building it. The role carries the tender strategy as well as the numbers, working directly with senior management on what to bid and how, with further projects already pencilled into the pipeline behind the opening scheme. This is a permanent role in Trafford Park, £70,000 to £85,000 depending on experience, plus a full benefits package. About the Business A new operation inside an established business is a particular kind of opportunity. The Trafford Park office is being built now, so the processes, the standards and the working relationships are still being set. What sits behind it is already there: the balance sheet, the supply chain and decades of delivered MEP projects. That combination is rare. Most people get the ground-floor role or the established backing, not both. Our client is a long-established, family-owned MEP engineering contractor covering mechanical, electrical and public health, with over 150 directly employed staff and a subcontractor base of around 300. They have offices across Ireland and deliver projects throughout Ireland and Great Britain, through major projects, facilities management and specialist projects divisions, across commercial, education, healthcare, heritage, hospitality and leisure, life sciences and residential sectors. The new Trafford Park operation is being established now rather than already running, and opens on a £350 million healthcare scheme in Manchester with further projects already pencilled into the pipeline. Family ownership shows up in how decisions get made. There is no quarterly reporting cycle dictating what gets committed to, which tends to mean longer views on people and on markets. An expansion into Great Britain is exactly the sort of commitment that needs a long view to survive its first two years. What You'll Be Doing Pricing mechanical packages and change on the initial £350 million healthcare project, alongside the tenders that follow it Leading the mechanical estimating function and managing the tender process from initial enquiry through to submission Reviewing drawings, specifications, schedules and tender documentation to establish what a project actually requires Preparing accurate, competitive mechanical estimates covering labour, materials, plant, subcontractor and specialist costs Managing subcontractor and supplier enquiries, negotiations and commercial comparisons Working closely with pre-construction, design, commercial and operations teams to develop coordinated, deliverable proposals Identifying project risk, opportunity, exclusions and commercial considerations within each tender Making sure tenders are submitted accurately, competitively and within deadline Supporting senior management on tender strategy and on securing new business Mentoring junior estimators and providing technical and commercial guidance to the team Building and holding relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors What We're Looking For Significant mechanical estimating experience within an MEP or main contracting environment A strong grasp of mechanical building services, construction methods and current market costs Strong commercial awareness, with the attention to detail a competitive tender demands Able to run multiple tenders and deadlines at once without losing accuracy Strong communication, negotiation and leadership skills Comfortable working directly with senior management as well as project delivery teams Experience delivering tenders for large, complex projects in healthcare, education, hotels or commercial development is a strong advantage, though the scale of the projects you have priced matters more than the sectors. What's on Offer £70,000 - £85,000 depending on experience Leading the function (Mechanical estimating) Flexi-time (Flexible working patterns) Leadership of a function from its first tender, with scope to build the team around you Structured training, both in house and externally delivered Private healthcare after six months, alongside a health cash plan and pension A business at the start of its GB expansion, where early contributions carry further than they would in an established office Apply Raven Search Building & Construction 16 Jobs Similar Mechanical Estimating Manager Jobs Popular with Other Job Seekers Electrical Site Supervisor Network Plus Dukinfield, Greater Manchester £45,000 / year 3 weeks ago Contracts Manager Building Careers UK Ltd Cheshire £60000 - £65000 per annum 2 days ago Estimator (Mechanical) Ernest Gordon Recruitment Manchester (M1), M1 £50000 - £60000 per annum + + £90,000 OTE + £6,000 Car Allowance 5 days ago Contracts Manager - Road Surfacing Building Careers UK Ltd Manchester (M1), M1 £50000 - £75000 per annum + plus package 1 week ago Mechanical Pre-Construction Manager Raven Search Warrington (WA1) From £75,000 to £95,000 per annum & benefits 2 weeks ago HV Project Manager Neos Recruitment Limited Stretford, Manchester (M32), M50 2GT £50k - 60k per year 1 week ago Pre-Construction Manager TCR GROUP SERVICES LTD Altrincham (WA14) From £70,000 to £85,000 per annum Car allowance and full package 1 week ago Site Manager Network Plus Manchester, Greater Manchester, M28 1XW 1 month ago Sub Agent Lanesra Technical Recruitment Limited Manchester (M15), M15 4FN £60000 - £70000 per annum + Plus Car/Allowance and Package 4 weeks ago Pre Constrcution Manager Building Careers UK Ltd Stockport (SK1), SK1 £65000 - £85000 per annum + plus package 2 weeks ago Mechanical Estimating Manager jobs Mechanical Estimating Manager jobs in Manchester Construction jobs Construction jobs in Manchester Mechanical And Electrical jobs Mechanical And Electrical jobs in Manchester Jobs in Manchester Full Time jobs Weekend jobs Retail jobs Amazon Warehouse Operative jobs Christmas jobs Night Shift jobs NHS jobs Apprenticeship jobs Warehouse jobs Cleaning jobs No Experience jobs Remote jobs Admin jobs Administration jobs Apprenticeships jobs Tesco jobs Get hired.
