Are you analytical, curious and looking for a career where you'll learn something genuinely specialist?

Rayblocis looking for aTechnicalEstimator to join our close-knit team. You don't need construction experience. We'll teach you the industry, our products and how projects run from first drawing to final handover. What we're looking for is someone who enjoys working with numbers and detail, learns quickly and is confident talking to people.

AboutRaybloc

Since 1999,Raybloc(X-ray Protection) Ltd has designed, manufactured and installed radiation shielding for hospitals, the NHS, private healthcare, dental and veterinary practices, and the construction companies who build them. Our range includes lead-lined doors and frames, X-ray viewing windows and protective screens, all made in our own workshop in Willenhall.

We're a growing business with an award-winning reputation. We were named BHTA Manufacturer of the Year 2025, and our products help protect patients and staff in healthcare facilities across the UK and beyond.

The Role

As aTechnicalEstimator, you'll be a key link betweenRayblocand the architects and contractors designing new healthcare spaces. You'll follow projects from their earliest stages right through to completion, helping clients understand what they need and giving them confidence inRayblocand our products.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Reading and interpreting architectural drawings, including CAD drawings
• Scaling drawings and matching them to shielding specifications to estimate the manufacture and/or installation work required
• Building accurate quotations using Excel and Odoo
• Speaking with architects and contractors abouttechnicalradiation shielding questions
• Discussing projects with our estimating team, workshop and wider office to get the details right
• Supporting clients after they've placed an order, helping their projects through to completion

Occasionally you'll get the chance to visit sites or meet clients in person. This is a small part of the role, and most of your time will be in our office.

How You'll Learn

You'll shadow our experienced estimating team and learn directly from colleagues across every department. That includes the workshop, where you can see how our products are made and talk to the people who make them. There's also the opportunity to learn CAD drawing software as you develop.

You'll build a real understanding of radiation shielding, our manufactured product range and how the construction industry works. If further training or qualifications would help your development, we're open to exploring them with you.
