Greenview boosts team with Mechanical and Electrical Estimator roles

Greenview Group

Tackling a recognised skills shortage to secure the right Mechanical and Electrical Estimator talent.

The challenge

Finding specialist estimator talent in a skills-short market

Greenview is a group of companies operating across mechanical, electrical, HVAC, property management and renewables throughout the UK and Ireland.

With more than 300 employees, the business was looking to strengthen its team with both an Electrical Estimator and a Mechanical Estimator.

Electrical Estimators are particularly difficult to recruit within building services, making finding candidates with the right technical experience a significant challenge.

Our approach

The right candidates at the right time

Working closely with Greenview’s director and HR Manager, Joe Ulysses led a focused search for candidates who combined the right technical experience with the right fit for the business.

Understand

We worked closely with Greenview to understand exactly what both estimator roles required.

Search

We proactively identified candidates with the specialist skills and experience Greenview needed.

Adapt

When the first Electrical Estimator accepted another position, we responded quickly with three additional qualified candidates.

Deliver

Greenview interviewed two of those candidates and offered both of them roles.

The outcome

Three successful hires in three weeks

What started as a search for two estimators ultimately resulted in three successful placements with Greenview.

Greenview is an ideal client with an innovative attitude towards hybrid and remote working – something the construction industry doesn’t always embrace. We really had the freedom to cast a wide net when it came to finding the right candidates to fill the Mechanical and Electrical Estimator vacancies and it proved successful with a very satisfying result for both our candidates and Greenview.
