Lead Security Design & Estimating Engineer Location: Office-based (Northampton NN6 7NY) with occasional travel to project sites across the UK. There may be some scope for hybrid working after an initial period of c6 months. Hours: Full-time, 9.00 - 5.30pm Monday - Friday Salary: £50,000-60,000 dependant upon experience Reporting to: Head of Technical & Design Who are we? CTSG is a small, high-growth engineering business that specialises in perimeter security solutions for the solar farming sector. We are trusted by our clients to deliver high-quality, technically robust and efficient systems that protect critical infrastructure across the UK. With demand for our services growing fast, we are expanding our team and looking for an experienced Lead Design & Estimating Engineer to take things to the next level. What this role is all about This is a dual-function role that combines hands-on system design and cost estimation with a growing focus on bid-support. You'll play a central part in helping us respond to tenders and client opportunities - bringing technical precision, commercial awareness and a keen eye for detail to every proposal. You'll be working closely with our in-house teams to: Produce technical designs and drawings using AutoCAD Carry out desk-top surveys and interpret client specifications Build detailed, accurate quotations that stack up commercially Liaise with manufacturers and suppliers to cost and specify components Support (and hopefully, in time, help lead) the bid process, influencing bid / no-bid decisions Help shape how we work by actively contributing to the continuous improvement of our systems and processes, and ensuring that best-fit practices are the default. Why this role and why now? We are growing fast. The work is flowing in and we need someone who can confidently and competently pick up the reins on design and estimating - and who has the commercial head to help us win the right work, not just any work. We are also thinking ahead. There's great potential for this role to evolve into a more senior position in time, depending upon how things shape up internally. If you are ambitious and keen to step up, that's something we'll want to discuss and plan for! Who we're looking for This role needs someone with a solid background in electronic security system design (ideally in solar or perimeter protection) - this is an essential pre-requisite and not something we can budge on, so please only apply if you have demonstrable experience in this field. Our ideal candidate will also have a good grasp of how bids and tenders work in the real world. We're not expecting you to know everything on day one but we do need someone confident, curious and willing to role up their sleeves. You'll need: - Strong experience in technical design (and ideally previous experience as an Estimator) - Knowledge of the appropriate industry standards (BS 8418, NCP 104.3, PD 6662 as a minimum) - Proficiency in AutoCAD & MS Projects - A commercial mindset. You'll understand that good design has to make good business sense too - An ability to juggle tight deadlines and shifting scopes without losing your cool - A collaborative approach - we're a small team and we all muck in What it's really like here We're proud to be a values-led business, committed to: Consistency - doing the basics brilliantly Togetherness - being part of one, united, team Solutions-orientation - looking for answers, not obstacles or excuses Gumption - showing courage, resourcefulness and initiative, coupled with positive energy Let's be honest - this isn't a sit-back-and-coast-along kind of role. The pace can be FULL-ON. Turnaround times are tight and things change. A lot. Scope creep? It happens. Curved balls? Yep, frequently. But if you like variety, a decent amount of autonomy, and making a tangible impact in a business where you are genuinely seen and valued, this could be just the job for you. We are building the plane while flying it, and we're looking for someone who is energised by that. Someone who is highly adaptable and is comfortable with change, not someone whose success is dependent upon the processes and procedures they rely heavily on. What can we offer Your starting salary will be between £50,000 - 60,000 p.a., depending upon your precise skill-set and experience. We appreciate true value and recognise that this comes in many forms, gained in a variety of ways A tight-knit yet inclusive and values-led team, trusted to work autonomously The opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role On top of that, you can expect some fun! We are a passionate and hard-working bunch and whilst we won't deny that the pressure to perform is felt by us all at times, we know how to kick back and have a laugh, too. Hopefully you'll like the sound of our CTSG socials and you'll enjoy celebrating our continued success with us. We also care about our team outside of work. We get that life can be challenging, and we really value the wellbeing of everyone in the business so as part of our benefits package we will offer you membership to Westfield Health. There's plenty more on offer, too, including a bonus day off on us to celebrate your Birthday. We can share the detail when we meet you Think we could be a good match for you?
