Electrical Estimator (Substations / Infrastructure Projects)
South Wales (Bridgend / Cardiff area)
£65,000 – £75,000 + package
We’re recruiting for an experienced Electrical Estimator to join an established regional contractor delivering specialist electrical works across substation, industrial and infrastructure projects.
This is a key role focused on pricing complex electrical packages within critical infrastructure environments, not typical building services or commercial fit-out work.
The Opportunity
* Involvement in substation and infrastructure electrical projects
* Work with a contractor known for technical delivery and quality
* Strong pipeline of secured and upcoming projects
* Long-term, permanent role with growth potential
The Role
* Preparing detailed cost estimates for electrical works within substations and industrial environments
* Taking ownership of tenders from initial enquiry through to submission
* Reviewing drawings, specifications and tender documentation
* Carrying out detailed take-offs and first-principles pricing
* Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors to secure competitive pricing
* Supporting project teams through handover and delivery phases
What We’re Looking For
* Experience as an Electrical Estimator within industrial or infrastructure projects
* Background in substations, HV/LV distribution, earthing or similar specialist electrical works
* Strong technical understanding of electrical installations in heavy / industrial environments
* Confident pricing from first principles
IMPOTANT: This role is not suited to candidates from a purely building services background (e.g. office fit-out, commercial lighting/heating systems). Please do not apply if that sounds like you.
What’s On Offer
* £65,000 – £75,000 salary (depending on experience)
* Company vehicle or allowance
* Healthcare & full benefits package
* Stable, long-term workload within a secure infrastructure sector
* Opportunity to play a key role in a respected and growing contractor
