Lead Estimator

Lead Sprinkler Estimator

UK Sprinklers – PTSG Fire Division

📍 Manchester (Hybrid – 2–3 days office based)

A senior estimating role with room to grow

UK Sprinklers, part of the PTSG Fire Division, are expanding their commercial function and are now looking to appoint a Lead Sprinkler Estimator to support and guide a small, growing estimating team.

This role is ideal for a highly experienced Sprinkler Estimator who still enjoys being hands‑on but is ready to take the next step — influencing standards, supporting others, and playing a wider role in how work is priced and delivered.

You’ll remain actively involved in estimating major projects while also providing technical leadership and structure across the team.

• Lead by example on complex and high‑value sprinkler tenders
• Review and oversee estimates produced by the wider estimating team
• Provide technical guidance, mentoring and quality assurance
• Support workload planning and prioritisation across the team
• Act as a key point of contact between estimating, sales and delivery
• Ensure all estimates align with company guidelines and relevant standards
• Contribute to continuous improvement of estimating processes

• Has confidence working on large, complex and multi‑million‑pound projects
• Has strong knowledge of UK fire suppression standards (BS EN 12845, BS 9251, BS 9990)
• Enjoys supporting and developing others without stepping away from technical work
• Is looking for long‑term progression into a broader commercial or leadership role
• Formal management experience isn’t essential — credibility, technical strength and the right mindset matter

• Competitive senior‑level salary (dependent on experience)
• Commission structure linked to performance
• Hybrid working (2–3 days per week in the Manchester office)
• Clear professional development and progression opportunities
• Access to PTSG/Vivup employee benefits package
