Salary: £35k DOE
Hours: Monday – Friday, 37.5 hours
Contract: Permanent
Location: Cambridgeshire

An established engineering and manufacturing business operating within the UK infrastructure sector is seeking an Estimator to join a small, experienced commercial team.

The successful candidate will play a key role in managing a high volume of enquiries, producing accurate and timely estimates, and working closely with in-house design and production teams. This is an excellent opportunity for someone confident working independently, who understands engineering figures and logistics, and can add value from day one.

Estimator Responsibilities

• Manage and price a steady flow of customer enquiries, ranging from simple estimates to more complex engineered solutions
• Analyse drawings, specifications and customer requirements to prepare accurate costings
• Produce detailed estimates covering materials, labour, fabrication times and subcontracted services
• Liaise closely with the in-house design team, production team and external suppliers to gather technical and commercial information
• Communicate with customers to clarify requirements and ensure quotations are accurate and complete
• Maintain accurate records, documentation and pricing data within the estimating system

Estimator Experience Required

• Proven estimating experience within a manufacturing or engineering environment
• Strong numerical ability with confidence handling figures, parts lists and paperwork
• The ability to work autonomously within a small team and take ownership of estimates
• Experience working from drawings and technical information
• Good organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple enquiries at once
• Clear and confident communication skills, both internally and with customers
• Steel or infrastructure experience is advantageous, but not essential – transferable estimating skills will be considered
• Strong IT skills, particularly with estimating systems and Microsoft Excel
