Group Metropolitan was founded in 1985 as an electrical contractor carrying out small moves and changes projects for a select few clients. Over the past 35 years, we have grown into a turnkey Principal Contractor offering in-house tradespeople, with a projected turnover of £90m. This has been achieved by working collaboratively with our clients to understand their needs and become an extension of their business, expanding our service offerings and geography to meet the expectations required. Whilst the business has seen organic growth over the years, our core values of Safety, Quality, Integrity and People, remain the same.
We require a Fit-out Estimator to join the Commercial team to aid in our continued expansion.
About the Role
The right candidate needs to be driven, self-motivated and able to work on their own initiative when under pressure whilst also being a positive collaborator within a tight team. Experience in Principal Contracting estimating is a necessity and a good understanding of M&E services.
The candidate will be required to attend external site visits with our Clients, Suppliers & Subcontractors and reflect a positive professional image as well as the confidence to clarify bids with our clients.
