Countrywide Electrical Services Ltd (CES) is looking for an Electrical Estimator to join our established team in Birmingham.
We're not just looking for someone with a "Senior Estimator" job title. We'd be interested in hearing from experienced Electrical Estimators as well as people who have progressed into estimating from an electrical installation, design, tendering or junior estimating background and are ready for the next step in their career.
The Role
The role will involve:
- Preparing electrical estimates and tender submissions
- Reviewing drawings, specifications and tender information
- Carrying out take-offs and producing labour and material costs
- Obtaining and comparing supplier and subcontractor quotations
- Identifying tender risks, exclusions and opportunities
- Supporting value engineering and design & build solutions
- Working closely with our Design, Commercial and Project teams
- Taking tenders from initial enquiry through to handover
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer β it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd 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 β that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
