If you’re an experienced estimator in sheet metal or fabrication, this is one of those roles where your input genuinely shapes outcomes—not just quotes.
You’ll be the link between customer requirements and production, turning technical drawings into accurate, commercially competitive quotations. Working with a steady flow of inbound enquiries, you’ll manage the full process—from understanding client needs through to quote follow-ups and conversion—while building relationships that lead to repeat business.
What you’ll be doing:
- Interpreting technical drawings and client specifications
- Producing accurate cost estimates and quotations
- Managing inbound enquiries via phone and email
- Following up quotes to win business
- Collaborating closely with sales and production teams
What you’ll need:
- Estimating experience within sheet metal or metal fabrication
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
- Strong customer-facing and communication skills
- High attention to detail (CAD knowledge is a bonus)
About the business:
A well-established manufacturer with 25+ years of success, £4.5m turnover, and a close-knit team of around 30. Part of a wider group, they combine stability with the agility of a smaller business.
Why this role?
You’ll have real ownership of your work, dealing with varied, technically interesting projects rather than repetitive quoting. With a strong pipeline of enquiries and a collaborative team, your success is visible and valued. It’s also a chance to step into a stable, growing business where your experience directly impacts revenue and client relationships.
Benefits:
- 26 days holiday + bank holidays
- Contributory pension
- Death in service (2x salary)
