• Lead the commercial pricing of service, repair, installation, electrical and renewable energy contracts, developing robust and competitive tender submissions.
• Build detailed pricing models that reflect scope, cost, risk, operational delivery requirements, overheads, margins and profitability.
• Review tender documentation in detail, identifying pricing assumptions, commercial risks, ambiguities and clarification requirements.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for a commercially minded pricing professional with practical technical or operational experience in heating, renewables, building services, construction, utilities, social housing or a similar field-based environment. The successful candidate will understand that effective pricing is not just a financial exercise; it requires an appreciation of how works are scoped, resourced, programmed, delivered and managed operationally.

You will be comfortable interpreting tender, contract, technical and operational information and translating it into clear, evidence-based pricing recommendations. You will be able to challenge assumptions, assess risk and develop pricing solutions that balance competitiveness with commercial sustainability.

• Practical technical, operational or contract delivery experience within heating, renewables, electrical, building services, social housing, construction, utilities, facilities management or a comparable field-based service environment.
• Understanding of how installation, servicing or repair works are planned, resourced and delivered, including labour, materials, subcontractors, access arrangements, productivity and operational risk.
• Experience of supporting or developing estimation/pricing, tendering, bid support or contract costing activities.
• Ability to interpret tender documents, specifications, drawings, schedule of rates or operational information and translate the requirements into financially robust pricing recommendations.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills and the ability to develop, review and challenge pricing models.
• Good commercial awareness, including margin recovery, risk assessment, profitability and cost control.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work collaboratively and constructively challenge assumptions where required.
• Highly organised and detail-focused, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver accurate work within deadlines.

Desirable skills and experience

• Experience of leading commercial pricing activity for tenders or contracts within social housing, building services, utilities, construction, facilities management or a comparable environment.
• Experience of developing and owning pricing models and commercial recommendations for tenders, bids or contract opportunities.
• Familiarity with Schedule of Rates, framework agreements, open-book pricing, measured term contracts or similar commercial models.
• Understanding of TUPE, mobilisation, workforce cost modelling or subcontractor pricing.
• Experience of supporting bid governance, commercial approvals or tender submission processes.
