Solar Mechanical Estimator

Reference: y6iforkl639k73lduiyc

We are seeking an experienced Solar Mechanical Estimator to prepare accurate, competitive estimates for commercial and utility-scale solar projects. The successful candidate will evaluate mechanical scopes, interpret drawings and specifications, and develop detailed cost plans covering equipment, materials, labour, plant, subcontractors, logistics and installation activities. You will work closely with engineering, procurement, project management and construction teams to ensure estimates are practical, commercially sound and aligned with project requirements.

Key responsibilities will include reviewing tender documentation, design packages and client requirements; identifying scope gaps, risks, exclusions and potential value-engineering opportunities; preparing bills of quantities, take-offs and pricing schedules; obtaining and assessing supplier and subcontractor quotations; and maintaining clear records of assumptions and estimate revisions. You will contribute to bid strategy, programme and resource planning, cash-flow forecasting, and the preparation of professional commercial submissions. The role will also involve supporting tender clarifications, attending site visits or technical meetings where required, and assisting with post-award handover to the delivery team.

Applicants should have proven estimating experience within mechanical construction, renewable energy, solar, utilities, industrial or related sectors, with a strong understanding of mechanical installation methods and project cost drivers. Experience estimating solar balance-of-system works, mounting systems, trackers, foundations, piling, cable management, plant installation or associated site infrastructure would be advantageous. You should be confident reading technical drawings, specifications and schedules, and be proficient with estimating software, spreadsheets and standard office applications. Strong numerical, analytical and organisational skills are essential, along with commercial awareness, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing deadlines. Effective communication and negotiation skills are required, as is the ability to work independently while contributing positively within a multidisciplinary team.
