Key Responsibilities

* Produce accurate, competitive cost estimates for mechanical systems including HVAC, plumbing, heating, ventilation, pipework, ductwork, and associated services

* Review technical drawings, specifications, BOQs, and tender documents to identify scope, risks, opportunities for value engineering, and cost savings

* Source and negotiate best-value quotations from suppliers and subcontractors

* Collaborate with the sales team to create compelling bid proposals and high-quality tender submissions

* Support client presentations, technical clarifications, and occasional site surveys/visits

* Maintain and develop our cost databases, benchmarks, and historical pricing data

What We're Looking For Essential

* Familiarity with current UK building regulations, industry standards, and value engineering approaches

Why Sale Group?

* Work on diverse, interesting high-profile projects with a company that's big enough to support but small enough to care

* Join a stable, family-owned business with a fantastic reputation for quality and delivery

* Supportive team culture with real opportunities for professional development

* Competitive salary (£65K–£85K) + attractive benefits package (to be discussed at interview)
