This role sits at the front end of project delivery, focusing on mechanical cost planning, subcontractor engagement, and commercial risk management across complex fit-out schemes.

* Work closely with internal preconstruction and delivery teams

Candidate requirements:

* Experience as a Mechanical Estimator or Senior Estimator

* Background within an MEP contractor or building services consultancy

* Strong understanding of mechanical packages and associated costs

* Ability to review and challenge subcontractor pricing

What’s on offer:

* £70,000 – £90,000 salary depending on experience

* Exposure to high-profile, technically complex projects

* A strategic role with progression into preconstruction or commercial leadership

* Collaborative, quality-focused working environment

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move into a broader, more commercially focused position within a leading fit-out contractor
