Technical Sales Estimator

Role Overview

Most estimating roles stop at the quotation; this one doesn't. You'll be involved from the customer conversation through to quotation and helping secure the order. If you've built your career within fasteners and enjoy the customer side as much as the technical side, keep reading. As a Technical Sales Estimator, you understand that winning business starts before an order is placed.

It begins with speaking with the customer. Your key responsibilities include:

• Understanding the requirement.
• Knowing the products.
• Calculating costs.
• Giving customers confidence that what you've quoted is right.

This role is a blend of customer‑facing sales and technical estimating. You will own the enquiry from the moment that phone call comes in, understand the customer's needs, produce accurate costings, answer questions and keep the process moving until a decision is made. It’s about seeing the opportunity through, not just producing a quotation.

As part of a team led by an experienced Managing Director, you will work alongside professionals who know the products, customers and fastener market inside out.

To be successful you will bring:

• Fasteners industry experience
• Estimating/Costing experience
• Good communication skills
• The ability to build customer relationships

Your salary will be between £50,000 and £70,000 depending on experience. There is no commission structure, but the package includes a strong basic salary and an attractive year‑end bonus that recognises performance. Working hours are Monday to Thursday 8:30 am – 5:30 pm, with an early finish at 3 pm on Fridays.

In addition, you will receive 23 days holiday plus bank holidays and a birthday off, along with the opportunity to develop your career within a supportive team.
