Some roles are about speed. This one is about trust. The best adviser relationships are rarely won in a pitch. They are built over time. Through credibility, judgement, honest conversations and a proposition that genuinely improves an adviser’s future. We’re looking for a senior professional to lead and grow Mattioli Woods’ adviser partnership and transition proposition - a structured, adviser-first approach designed to help financial advisers transition their businesses with greater confidence, certainty and optionality. This is not traditional recruitment. And it is not volume-led, it's about understanding what advisers have spent decades building, recognising where they are in their journey, and helping them explore what the next chapter could look like. The proposition combines income underwriting, legal support, lead generation and a pathway to future liquidity, while allowing advisers to move at a pace that feels right for them and their clients. Why this role is different: The advisers you’ll be speaking to are experienced professionals and business owners. They are not going to be rushed - and they shouldn’t be. Your role is to build trust, understand motivations, identify opportunities and guide conversations thoughtfully over time. The conversion follows from the relationship, not the other way around. It is a longer game. But for the right person, it is a far more meaningful one. This is also an opportunity to help shape one of the most adviser-centric growth initiatives in the UK wealth management market.

Overview\n\nJob Title: Technical Estimating Manager – Structures & Pavements\n\nDepartment: Structures & Pavements\n\nReports To: Head of Structures & Pavements or Director of Sales\n\nSalary and bounes: £45000 to £50000 and upto 3% on new business onboarded\n\nRole Purpose\n\nThe Technical Estimating Manager – Structures & Pavements is responsible for the technical, operational, and safety-led assessment of works at tender and quotation stage. The role ensures that all estimates fully define the extent of works, methodologies, access requirements, resources, risks, and constraints, enabling project teams to deliver works exactly as estimated, safely, compliantly, and within commercial expectations. The position acts as a technical and risk gatekeeper, working closely with Project Managers to ensure a seamless transition from estimate to delivery, with no loss of scope clarity or control.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nTechnical Estimating & Scope Definition\n\nPrepare detailed technical estimates for structures and pavements works. Define the full extent of works, including assumptions, constraints, inclusions, and exclusions. Translate client requirements into clear, deliverable scopes aligned to company capability. Ensure estimates reflect realistic programmes, access constraints, and site conditions. Prevent ambiguity that could lead to delivery risk, rework, or unpriced scope.\n\nAccess, Equipment & Methodology Planning\n\nDefine and price all required access and enabling works, including MEWPs, specialist access equipment, rope access methodologies, traffic management, and access constraints. Assess the suitability of access solutions for site conditions and operational constraints. Identify plant, calibration, logistics, and mobilisation requirements at estimate stage.\n\nCompetency & Resource Assessment\n\nIdentify the competencies required for each scope, including confined space-trained personnel, rope access-qualified operatives, working at height competence, and project-specific certifications or approvals. Ensure manpower assumptions are safe, compliant, and deliverable. Highlight any capability gaps prior to acceptance of works.\n\nRisk Assessment at Quotation Stage\n\nCarry out early-stage risk assessments as part of all estimates. Identify hazards, abnormal risks, and constraints associated with proposed activities. Assess complexity and risk relating to confined spaces, working at height, live environments such as highways, rail, and public areas, and non-standard access methods or methodologies. Escalate high-risk or non-standard scopes to the Head of Structures & Pavements for approval. Ensure identified risks are eliminated, controlled, or appropriately priced.\n\nLiaison with Project Managers & Delivery Interface\n\nWork closely with Structures & Pavements Project Managers to ensure estimated works are fully understood prior to mobilisation and delivered in accordance with the quoted scope, methodology, and assumptions. Provide a clear technical and commercial handover of awarded works, including scope definitions and boundaries, access and equipment assumptions, and competency and resource requirements. Act as a point of clarification during delivery where queries arise against the original estimate. Support Project Managers in identifying deviations from estimated scope and escalating where required. Assist in preventing scope creep, unsafe working practices, or uncontrolled changes during delivery.\n\nQuality, Compliance & Deliverability Assurance\n\nEnsure estimated methodologies align with company Quality Management System requirements and accreditation standards. Confirm compatibility with BS EN and ASTM standards where applicable. Prevent commitment to works that cannot be delivered safely or compliantly. Challenge poor-quality information or unrealistic client expectations during the bid stage.\n\nCommercial & Bid Support\n\nProvide technical input to tenders, bids, and framework submissions. Support pricing strategy through the clear identification of risks, constraints, and allowances. Participate in technical clarification meetings where required.\n\nInterfaces & Authority\n\nOperate under the technical and operational governance of the Head of Structures & Pavements. Hold authority to define scope, methodology, access requirements, and risk assumptions at the estimating stage. Escalate significant risks, non-standard activities, or delivery concerns as required. Work collaboratively with Project Managers while not assuming delivery accountability.\n\nPerson Specification – Essential\n\nDemonstrate a strong technical background in structures, pavements, or materials testing, together with proven experience producing technical estimates for civil engineering works. Possess demonstrable experience assessing MEWPs, scaffolding, rope access solutions, confined space operations, and operational health and safety risks.\n\nPerson Specification – Desirable\n\nExperience within a UKAS-accredited environment is desirable, along with knowledge of BS EN and ASTM standards. Previous field delivery or Project Management experience would be advantageous.\n\nKey Skills & Competencies\n\nDemonstrate strong technical judgement, a high level of risk awareness, and the confidence to challenge assumptions where necessary. Communicate clearly across estimating and delivery functions while maintaining a structured, detail-focused, and disciplined approach.\n\nPerformance Measures\n\nPerformance will be measured through alignment between estimated and delivered scope, reduction in variations caused by poor initial definition, quality of estimate-to-project handover, and the safety and compliance performance of delivered works.\n\nLet me know what you think
