SHJ is a leading UK specialist in medical and laboratory gas pipeline systems, providing design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and ongoing support across healthcare and laboratory environments.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for an Engineering Estimator to join our Installation team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Engineering graduate with strong technical and mathematical skills looking to develop a career within a specialist engineering sector.
Previous medical or laboratory gas experience is desirable but not essential. For the right engineering candidate, we will provide full specialist training.
The Role
You will prepare accurate and commercially competitive estimates for medical and laboratory gas installation projects, working from engineering drawings, specifications, tender documents and customer requirements.
Working alongside our engineering, project and installation teams, you will develop an understanding of complete medical and laboratory gas systems and how projects progress from design and tender through to installation, commissioning and handover.
Prepare detailed cost estimates for medical gas pipeline system installations and associated engineering works in accordance with HTM 02-01, BS EN standards, and NHS requirements.
Review tender documents, drawings, specifications, schedules, and customer requirements to ensure scope is fully understood and HTM compliance is reflected in pricing.
Measure and quantify pipework, plant, terminal units, valve assemblies, alarm systems, and associated components in line with HTM 02-01 requirements.
Assist in identifying compliance-driven costs, including testing, validation, certification, and quality documentation required under HTM 02-01.
Support with margin analysis, value engineering options, and pricing reviews while maintaining compliance.
Liaise with approved suppliers and specialist subcontractors to obtain quotations.
Assist in preparing quotations and pricing breakdowns for new works and variations, ensuring clear alignment between scope, drawings, and HTM obligations.
Attend site visits where required to assist with surveys, existing system assessments, and validation of estimating assumptions including in live healthcare environments.
