Estimator – Solar PV / Electrical Remedial Works
Location
Norfolk / East Anglia
Working Pattern
Hybrid – approximately 2 days per week in the office
Salary
£45,000 – £50,000
The Opportunity
We are working with a growing specialist Solar PV Operations & Maintenance provider supporting commercial and industrial solar installations across the UK.
As the company's portfolio and pipeline of work continues to expand, they are looking to appoint an Estimator to join their technical function.
This is not a traditional drawing-led estimating role.
Instead, the position requires someone with strong practical electrical or engineering knowledge who can review reports and photographs submitted by field engineers, understand the remedial work required and accurately price the work for customers.
The Role
Sitting within the technical function and working closely with the Technical Manager, you will help convert engineering findings from Solar PV sites into commercially accurate quotations and scopes of remedial work.
Field engineers complete inspections and maintenance visits before submitting reports, photographs and details of identified defects. Your role will be to assess this information, understand what is required and produce the associated quotation.
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.
Responsibilities will include:
- Reviewing engineers' site reports, photographs and technical findings
- Understanding electrical and Solar PV remedial work requirements
- Producing accurate quotations and cost estimates
- Calculating labour, materials and other job costs
- Determining the resources required to complete remedial works
- Liaising with field engineers where additional information or clarification is required
- Reviewing the quality and completeness of information received from site
- Supporting the technical team with the commercial assessment of remedial works
- Ensuring quotations are accurate, commercially viable and produced efficiently
- Helping improve the process between site inspection, technical review and customer quotation
About You
The ideal candidate will combine hands-on technical understanding with strong commercial awareness.
We are particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have:
- Previous hands-on electrical, Solar PV, engineering, maintenance or installation experience
- Experience producing quotations, estimates or pricing technical works
- The ability to understand the scope of a job from engineering reports and photographs
- Good knowledge of labour and material requirements
- Strong commercial awareness
- Excellent attention to detail
- The confidence to challenge or query technical information where required
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- The ability to work effectively with field engineers and technical management

Package
The role offers a salary of £45,000 – £50,000, depending on experience.
The position offers a hybrid working arrangement, with approximately two days per week in the Norfolk office and flexibility for the remainder of the week.
Why Apply?
This is a strong opportunity for someone who understands engineering from a practical perspective but wants to use that experience in a more commercially focused position. You'll also be joining a specialist renewable energy business with a growing portfolio of Solar PV assets.
