The role

This role is well suited to a Lightning Protection Engineer who wishes to come off the tools.

Permanent and Full-time, 40 hours per week between Monday to Friday.

As a Trainee Estimator, you will be responsible for preparing quotations and converting a variety of new build and retrofit projects. You will work closely with other estimators and operational teams to ensure a smooth transition of projects to the contract management team.

• Build and maintain long-term relationships with clients to secure repeat business and generate new opportunities through proactive research.

Who we are looking for

Ideally, you're familiar with lightning protection systems such as a Lightning Protection Engineer or Lightning Conductor Fitter, and looking for your next step to career development.

Alternatively, this role is perfect for a self-motivated, intuitive individual who can build and maintain client relationships. In this case we're looking for someone with an A* to C grade in a science, engineering, or maths-related A-level, who is confident interacting with customers. While a knowledge of the construction industry is a plus, it’s not essential, as we provide full training to help you master this niche field.

You should be proficient with Microsoft Word and Excel and have excellent time management skills.

A full UK driving licence is also required for occasional travel.
