Project Manager / Estimator

Job description

Estimator / Project Coordinator Stainless Steel | Food Processing & Mechanical Projects

Our client is a respected stainless steel fabrication and mechanical engineering business delivering projects into food processing facilities, abattoirs and industrial manufacturing sites.
They are seeking a commercially strong Estimator who wants more than just desk-based pricing — someone who can price the work and then stay involved through delivery.
This is ideal for someone from a stainless steel or mechanical background who understands fabrication, site installation and the compliance requirements of hygienic food-grade environments.
The Role
  • Prepare accurate cost estimates and detailed take-offs
  • Interpret engineering drawings and scope documents
  • Price stainless steel fabrication, pipework and mechanical installations
  • Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors for quotations
  • Support project delivery once awarded
  • Assist with scheduling, procurement and cost tracking
  • Be involved in site meetings and client communication where required
About You
  • Experience estimating within stainless steel, mechanical or industrial fabrication
  • Exposure to food processing or abattoir projects highly regarded
  • Able to read and interpret workshop and engineering drawings
  • Commercially minded with strong attention to detail
  • Keen to stay involved in projects beyond tender stage
Why Join
  • Established business with repeat clients across the food sector
  • Varied projects from workshop fabrication through to on-site installation
  • Opportunity to grow into a broader project leadership role
  • Supportive, hands-on team environment
If you come from stainless steel fabrication or mechanical engineering and want a role where you price the job and help see it delivered, we’d love to hear from you.
