Estimating Engineer Lanarkshire | Up to £55,000 • Price a genuinely varied mix of fabrication and machining work, • Your improvements get implemented, not lost in management layers, • Long-established manufacturer, currently investing, with strong group backing THE CLIENT A long-established engineering manufacturer serving customers across a wide range of industries. The business is part of a highly profitable group and is investing in its future, which makes it a secure place to build a career. The team is small and close-knit, and every role makes a visible difference. This is a newly created position, adding capacity to the estimating function rather than filling a gap. It reports directly to the Managing Director. If you've been held back by layers of sign-off in a bigger business, that changes here. THE ROLE You'll own the estimate from enquiry to quote. You'll read customer drawings and specifications, plan the manufacturing method and work out fabrication and machining times, material and bought-in costs. Then you'll turn it into a price that wins work at the right margin. Turnaround matters, and so does getting it right. You'll deal directly with material suppliers on pricing, lead times and technical requirements. You'll work closely with Procurement and Production so that won orders start quickly and accurately. Because no two enquiries are alike, the job stays interesting. You'll bring ideas to the estimating team, and with a direct line to the MD you'll see them put into practice. ABOUT YOU You'll be an estimator, estimating engineer or quotations engineer used to pricing manufactured work from drawings. That could be subcontract fabrication, machining, sheet metal, steelwork or something similar. You understand how parts and structures are made and can put sensible times and costs against them. You communicate clearly with customers and suppliers, and you've got the commercial sense to balance a competitive price with a healthy margin. You're organised and computer literate, comfortable with Excel and an MRP or ERP system, and you like finding faster ways to estimate accurately.
