Electrical Contracts Estimator

Stone, Staffordshire  |  Hybrid (1–2 days in office)  |  £40,000–£45,000  |  Permanent

Strong technical knowledge. A sharp eye for numbers. And the kind of estimating experience that means you can hit the ground running on complex industrial and energy projects - mostly from home.

IEIS is an established engineering business working across industrial, utilities, and energy sectors. They deliver large-scale electrical contracts where accurate cost control and reliable delivery are non-negotiable. The estimating team plays a central role in how the business wins and delivers work, so the numbers you produce carry real commercial weight.

You will own the estimating process from first review of specifications through to tender submission. Working with project managers, engineers, and suppliers, you will prepare detailed cost breakdowns, keep pricing current, and support contract negotiations with solid analysis. Several live estimates running at once is the norm, so the ability to prioritise and stay accurate under deadline pressure is key.

You'll:

• Analyse project specifications, drawings, and technical documents to define scope and resource requirements
• Prepare detailed cost estimates covering labour, materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs
• Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and suppliers to gather quotes and sharpen budgets
• Update estimates throughout the bid process as scope or information changes
• Support tender submissions, ensuring full compliance with client specifications and deadlines
• Track material and labour market pricing to keep estimates accurate and competitive
• Provide detailed cost analysis to support contract negotiations
• Maintain organised records of all estimates, quotations, and supporting documentation

Essential:

• Proven experience as an Electrical Estimator, ideally in industrial, utilities, or energy environments
• Strong technical understanding of electrical installations and industry standards
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and schedules
• Proficiency in Excel and estimating software
