Small Works Estimator
This position is now filled.
But it’s not just any role, it’s a position that we’ve just established and we’re looking for the right person to make it their own.
Rather than boring you with an essay on what we’re looking for, I thought it’d be easier if I just told you… so I’ve recorded a video and done just that.
The role is an Internal Small Works Estimator, and the salary range is £25k-£45k, depending on experience.
If you’ve got practical engineering experience and you’re looking for something challenging, rewarding and interesting in a tight-knit and friendly team, then this might just be for you.
Or maybe you know someone who fits the bill… either way, have a watch of the video and if it sounds interesting, drop me a message or get in touch on 01277 724 653.
Oh, and we’re based in Stock, Essex.
You'll Love:
Problem-solving and fault-finding
Continual professional development

Selling an inferior product or service?
Feeling unheard in your team?
