Looking for more than just another estimating role?
We're recruiting on behalf of a successful and growing UK engineering business that designs and manufactures specialist electrical power solutions for customers operating across critical infrastructure, utilities, and industrial sectors throughout the UK.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established organization with an outstanding reputation for technical excellence, quality, and customer service. More importantly, it's a business where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. The culture is collaborative, supportive, and down-to-earth, with a leadership team that values ideas, recognizes hard work, and invests in its employees for the long term.
Whether you're an experienced Electrical Estimator, Tendering Engineer, or have a strong electrical background with estimating experience, we'd love to hear from you.
The Opportunity
This is a varied and rewarding role where you'll be responsible for preparing accurate, commercially competitive quotations and tender submissions for bespoke electrical engineering projects.
- Prepare accurate quotations and tender submissions for electrical engineering projects.
- Interpret electrical drawings, specifications, and customer requirements.
- Produce detailed cost estimates covering materials, labor, and project risk.
- Work closely with Design, Production, and Procurement to ensure technically compliant and commercially competitive proposals.
- Support bid reviews and identify opportunities for value engineering where appropriate.
- Ensure tender submissions meet customer requirements, industry standards, and internal quality procedures.
- Build strong working relationships across the business to deliver high-quality tender submissions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
No two projects are the same, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical problem-solving with commercial awareness.

- The ability to interpret electrical drawings and technical specifications.
- Good commercial awareness and attention to detail.
