A growing manufacturer of electrical control and instrumentation systems for various industries and applications has asked us to find an Estimating Tendering Proposals Engineer with an electrical qualification or who can help their Sales Manager to turn the enquiries they receive into project orders. Working through a set of incoming enquiries, you'll look through the specifications and enquiry documents, be able to read electrical drawings, pick out the electrical control aspects of the project, and then reply to the enquiry with a carefully thought out set of costings, quotations, technical and commercial proposals. The Engineering team and Design Engineers will support you by providing technical support for you to be able to reply with exactly the right answer to the enquiry. You will gradually learn about the company's technology and projects, but it would be essential to have an electrical engineering background, be able to read electrical drawings, and good communication skills in order to compile quotes and liaise with the customer. The final 5%? If you had some knowledge of PLC control, or of electrical control, sensors, instrumentation, that would be a big bonus. It's a company which is growing and seeking greater growth, and your role will play a big part in the company's future- and hopefully, be good for you too.
