Commercial Electrician (Progression to estimator)

Bradford
£35,000 - £50,000 + Enhanced Pension + Early Finish on a Friday + Training + Progression

Are you an Electrician looking to get off the tools and kickstart your career in electrical estimating within a growing and well-established commercial and industrial contracting company?

Do you want to work as a Junior Electrical Estimator for a company experiencing continued expansion, where you will play a key role in supporting project delivery while developing your technical knowledge and commercial awareness through full training and mentorship?

On Offer

On offer for the successful Junior Electrical Estimator is the opportunity to be fully trained and develop your skills through structured support, gaining hands-on experience across the full lifecycle of projects from initial enquiry through to project completion. You will work closely with experienced estimators, engineers and project teams, building your confidence while contributing to a diverse range of commercial and industrial projects from an early stage.

In This Role

In this role, the successful Junior Electrical Estimator will support a wide variety of tasks while developing into a fully-fledged Estimator. You will assist with reviewing client enquiries and preparing technical quotations, ensuring they accurately reflect project requirements. In addition, you will liaise with internal departments, suppliers and external stakeholders to ensure accuracy and coordination throughout the estimating process. On top of this, you will support quality procedures and Health & Safety standards while contributing to continuous improvement within the estimating function.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
