Mechanical Estimator
Milton Keynes | £65,000 - £70,000 + Package
Are you a Mechanical Estimator looking for a role where your expertise genuinely shapes the projects being delivered?
We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Estimator to join a growing multidisciplinary contractor with a strong reputation across M&E, commercial construction, FM and small works. Based in Milton Keynes, this is an opportunity to play a key role in strengthening and developing the company's pre-construction capability.
You'll be involved from the early stages of a project, taking ownership of mechanical tenders and working closely with operational teams to turn opportunities into commercially successful projects.
The Role
You'll be responsible for producing competitive and technically robust mechanical estimates across a range of commercial projects, covering areas including HVAC, heating, plumbing and associated building services.
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.
This is more than just pricing from a desk. You'll work closely with suppliers, subcontractors and delivery teams, providing commercial and buildability input that helps shape winning bids.
What You'll Be Doing
- Taking ownership of mechanical estimates from initial enquiry through to tender submission
- Reviewing drawings and specifications to produce accurate take-offs and cost plans
- Pricing labour, materials, plant and subcontract packages
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with suppliers and securing competitive quotations
- Identifying opportunities for value engineering and cost-saving solutions
- Working closely with project and delivery teams to ensure estimates are practical and commercially viable
- Supporting tender submissions and presenting clear, well-structured commercial information
- Keeping up to date with market rates, supplier costs and industry trends
