The

Estimator

role This is a rare, full-spectrum technical estimating role. You won't just be putting together quotes — you'll own the whole journey from enquiry through to order and delivery: Reviewing customer enquiries and technical specifications, working out material, process and testing requirements

Estimating and costing jobs, sourcing material from suppliers where needed

Preparing and issuing quotations, negotiating where required and processing orders through to delivery

Building close working relationships with the production team to make sure what's quoted can be made, on time and to spec

Acting as a key point of contact for customers — this is customer service and technical support as much as it is estimating

About you Come from a manufacturing or engineering background — ideally from a smaller, subcontract or precision engineering environment where you've had to wear more than one hat (estimating, technical, customer-facing)

Comfortable interpreting technical drawings, specifications and customer requirements

Methodical and precise: small errors here can have real consequences once something reaches the shop floor

Confident communicating with both customers and internal production teams

Happy to be based on-site, with occasional customer visits (mileage paid)

If you've been the person at a smaller manufacturing business who ends up doing a bit of everything from estimating, quoting, chasing suppliers to keeping customers happy, this could be a natural next step. Everlinked are an equal employment agency.
