Mechanical Estimator
Mechanical Estimator jobs in the North‑West
Permanent Mechanical Estimator roles with M&E building services contractors across the North‑West.
ravensearch is a specialist M&E recruitment agency working only on permanent roles in mechanical and electrical building services. We are based in Wigan and the contractors we work with are spread across the region, from Liverpool and Warrington through Manchester and out to Leeds.
Whether you are estimating now and want a move, or you are a senior estimator weighing up the step into an estimating manager or pre‑construction role, we can tell you what is actually available and what it pays before you commit to anything.
What the work involves
The projects behind these roles
Commercial fit‑out and new build, industrial and logistics, healthcare, education and public sector work. The contractors range from regional M&E businesses turning over a few million to national building services companies running a North‑West office, so the scale of what you would be pricing varies a lot between them. It is worth being specific with us about the project values you want to work at, because it is one of the things that most often decides whether a move works out.
Permanent Mechanical Estimator roles we have handled recently have paid between £55,000 and £70,000, with estimating manager positions going to £85,000. Most come with a car or car allowance and the usual package on top.
Where you land in that range usually comes down to project values and how much of the tender you own rather than years served. Ask us and we will tell you what a specific contractor is paying.
Every role here is permanent. We do not handle freelance or contract work, so nothing on this page is a day rate.

M&E jobs in Blackburn
Blackburn and the wider East Lancashire market produce a steady trickle of permanent M&E roles rather than a constant stream.
The area has a genuine manufacturing and industrial base, and the building services contractors here tend to work across an unusually wide sector spread, from healthcare through to aerospace and emergency services. For a project or contracts manager that variety is often the appeal.
We will not pretend the volume matches Warrington or Manchester. What we can do is tell you honestly what is live in East Lancashire at any point, and flag the North‑West roles within reach of the M65 if nothing closer fits.
