Hybrid Electrical Solutions is growing quickly, and our Maintenance team is growing with it. We're looking for an M&E Estimator to turn engineer reports and job information into clear, accurate quotations, keeping our customers' buildings safe and running.
It's a role where you'll learn fast, see the impact of your work every day, and have real room to progress as Hybrid continues to grow.
About Hybrid Electrical Solutions
Hybrid Solutions Group was founded in 2013 on a simple idea: build a business that works for customers and staff alike. That idea still shapes how we work. We're thoughtful, accountable and we look after our people.
Hybrid Electrical Solutions is the Group's mechanical and electrical contractor. We support customers from consultation and site survey through installation, testing, commissioning and ongoing maintenance, across commercial property, residential, highways, rail, public infrastructure and telecoms. Much of our work happens in live, occupied buildings, where getting it right first time really matters.
We're Kier's principal M&E partner on Transport for London's tunnels and pump stations contract, covering ten London road tunnels.
The role
Working closely with the Maintenance Manager and our engineers, you'll price reactive maintenance and smaller remedial works. This isn't a traditional large project tendering role. You'll handle a high volume of quotations, working out the labour and materials needed, applying agreed rates and getting commercially sound prices to customers quickly.
It's ideal for someone who understands M&E, building services or maintenance, ideally from a commercial or infrastructure background, and wants to build a broader estimating and commercial career.
Where this role can take you
- A clear next step. As the business grows, there's a route from maintenance quotations into larger project estimating, tendering and our wider commercial team.
- Learn from experienced people. Regular feedback and coaching from the Maintenance Manager, engineers and commercial colleagues.
- See the whole picture. Direct exposure to both maintenance operations and commercial decisions, which is rare this early in an estimating career.
- Grow with the business. As the Group grows quickly, new roles and responsibilities open up. We'd rather develop our own people into them.
What you'll do
- Prepare accurate, timely quotations for reactive maintenance, remedial and smaller M&E works.
- Review engineer reports, work instructions, job sheets and scopes to understand the work required.
- Identify labour, materials, access and any other costs for each quotation.
- Use agreed rate cards, historic pricing and supplier information to build commercially sound quotations.
- Work with engineers and the Maintenance team to clarify technical details or fill in missing information.
- Obtain and compare supplier prices where needed.
- Keep clear, accurate records of quotations, assumptions and pricing.
- Manage a varied workload and meet agreed response times.
- Help develop consistent pricing templates, cost data and ways of working as the team grows.
About you
