The Opportunity
This is a newly created role within the business, designed to strengthen our quoting, estimating and tender process.
We are looking for a Technical Estimator / Tender Coordinator to take ownership of the day-to-day quoting and estimating process while supporting larger tenders and sales opportunities.
