Join us, be part of more. We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer.
We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
About your team:
At PH Jones, our mission is to mend it. Our teams have been at the heart of communities for over 50 years. Partnering with local authorities and associations, we support social housing across the UK – installing, upgrading and repairing heating and electrical systems.
But we’re not just living off our legacy. We’re on a mission to make the UK’s social housing sector greener and more energy efficient.
PH Jones has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Pricing Manager to join our Growth team on a permanent basis. 2 positions available, 1 x permanent role and 1 x secondment
This is a key commercial role supporting the retention of existing social housing contracts and the acquisition of new opportunities across heating, electrical, renewable energy and decarbonisation services. This role would particularly suit someone with practical experience in either the delivery, management, supervision, technical support or commercial pricing of heating, electrical, renewable energy or building services installation projects.
We are looking for someone who understands operational field delivery, including labour planning, materials, subcontractors, access constraints, productivity, mobilisation and operational risk, and can apply that knowledge to pricing new and retained contracts.
Working closely with Bid Management, Operations, Finance, Legal and HR, you will ensure operational and commercial risks, assumptions and delivery requirements are fully understood and reflected within each tender submission.
Role details and benefits
- Contract: 1 x Full-time Permanent, 1 x Secondment
- Hours: 40 hours per week
- Location: Home Based, with occasional travel to British Gas offices where required
- Holiday: 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- Pension: Company-matched pension contributions up to 3%
- Protection and wellbeing: Group Income Protection, Life Assurance and Accident Insurance and company-funded healthcare plan
Additional benefits
- Employee energy allowance
- Discounts on Hive products
- Access to MyHealth, 24/7 MyCare support line and online GP24 virtual service
- Eye test vouchers
- Annual salary review and profit share award
- Legal, financial, wellbeing and educational support services and resources
- Retail discounts with high street partners
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the commercial pricing of service, repair, installation, electrical and renewable energy contracts, developing robust and competitive tender submissions.
- Build detailed pricing models that reflect scope, cost, risk, operational delivery requirements, overheads, margins and profitability.
- Review tender documentation in detail, identifying pricing assumptions, commercial risks, ambiguities and clarification requirements.
- Support contract retention and rebid opportunities, including the use of performance data and commercial analysis to inform pricing strategy.
- Assess key commercial considerations including TUPE, mobilisation, geography, operational capacity, delivery model, subcontractor requirements and market conditions.
- Develop pricing solutions for both Principal Contractor and subcontractor delivery models, including associated building works, electrical installations, specialist subcontractor packages and site preliminaries.
- Work collaboratively with Bid Managers to develop winning commercial strategies and high-quality tender submissions.
- Prepare clear commercial approval papers, financial summaries and pricing recommendations for governance reviews and tender sign-off.
- Maintain pricing records and use post-tender lessons learned to improve pricing accuracy, tools, methodologies and future bid outcomes.

You will be able to challenge assumptions, assess risk and develop pricing solutions that balance competitiveness with commercial sustainability.

- Experience of supporting or developing estimation/pricing, tendering, bid support or contract costing activities.
- Ability to interpret tender documents, specifications, drawings, schedule of rates or operational information and translate the requirements into financially robust pricing recommendations.
- Strong Microsoft Excel skills and the ability to develop, review and challenge pricing models.
- Good commercial awareness, including margin recovery, risk assessment, profitability and cost control.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work collaboratively and constructively challenge assumptions where required.
- Highly organised and detail-focused, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver accurate work within deadlines.
Desirable skills and experience
- Experience of leading commercial pricing activity for tenders or contracts within social housing, building services, utilities, construction, facilities management or a comparable environment.
- Experience of developing and owning pricing models and commercial recommendations for tenders, bids or contract opportunities.
- Familiarity with Schedule of Rates, framework agreements, open-book pricing, measured term contracts or similar commercial models.
- Understanding of TUPE, mobilisation, workforce cost modelling or subcontractor pricing.
- Experience of supporting bid governance, commercial approvals or tender submission processes.
