Senior Electrical Lead Estimator

Reference: 2qax3vezziur7srcz1js

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Lead Estimator to take responsibility for preparing accurate, commercially competitive estimates for major electrical projects. This role will lead the estimating process from early-stage enquiry through to tender submission, working closely with project managers, engineers, procurement teams, clients and specialist subcontractors. You will assess drawings, specifications, schedules and scope documents, identify project risks and opportunities, and develop clear cost plans that support informed commercial decisions.

Key responsibilities will include managing multiple tenders, producing detailed electrical estimates and bills of quantities, obtaining and evaluating supplier and subcontractor quotations, and ensuring all costs, allowances, labour requirements, materials and equipment are fully captured. You will review designs for constructability, challenge assumptions, identify value-engineering opportunities and prepare tender clarifications, exclusions and qualifications. The successful candidate will also support bid presentations, contribute to pricing strategies, maintain estimating records and hand over successful projects to delivery teams with a clear understanding of scope, cost and programme.

Applicants should have substantial experience estimating electrical works within a construction, engineering, infrastructure or building services environment, together with a strong understanding of commercial and contractual principles. A relevant electrical or engineering qualification is desirable, alongside proven experience using estimating software, spreadsheets and digital drawing or measurement tools. You will need excellent technical knowledge, strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret complex documentation while working to demanding deadlines. Effective communication, negotiation and leadership skills are essential, as is the confidence to guide junior estimators and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels. A proactive, analytical and commercially minded approach will be highly valued.
