Ready to take your practical industry experience in a new direction?

We're recruiting on behalf of an established and growing business in Wincanton that is looking for a Technical Estimator to join their close-knit design and estimating team. You don't need previous design experience to apply. What matters most is your technical understanding, willingness to learn, and enthusiasm to build a long-term career in a specialist field.

This is a fantastic opportunity to transition into an office-based technical role where you'll receive full training, work alongside experienced professionals, and develop valuable skills in design, estimating and project coordination.

Why Apply?

• Full training provided from industry experts
• Clear opportunity to develop a long-term technical career
• Join a supportive team of experienced designers and estimators
• Get involved in a variety of interesting projects from concept through to completion

The Role

Working as part of a friendly team of four and reporting to the Senior Design Manager, you'll learn all aspects of the design and estimating process while supporting the successful delivery of projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with technical designs, layouts, calculations and specifications
• Preparing quotations and cost estimates for projects
• Supporting the coordination of project documentation
• Working closely with experienced engineers and designers
• Attending client meetings to understand project requirements
• Learning specialist industry software and design processes

About You

This role would suit somebody who enjoys problem-solving, has a technical mindset and is keen to learn new skills.

You'll likely have experience in one of the following areas:

• Construction
• Plumbing
• Heating and ventilation
• Mechanical services
• Electrical services
• Building services
• Technical project support

You'll also have:

• Good attention to detail
• Strong communication skills
• A proactive and enthusiastic attitude
• The desire to learn and develop professionally
• Experience working with quotations, specifications, drawings or projects would be beneficial

AutoCAD experience would be advantageous, but is by no means essential, as full training can be provided.

Don't Have Design Experience?

That's absolutely fine.

We're particularly interested in hearing from candidates with practical industry experience who are looking to transfer their knowledge into a technical office-based position. If you've been looking for an opportunity to move into design, estimating or engineering support, we'd love to hear from you.
