Estimator

Senior Estimator / Estimator | Structures & Civil Infrastructure | Brisbane

IEPro are working exclusively with a highly regarded civil contractor to recruit both a Senior Estimator and Estimator to join their Brisbane-based pre-contracts team.

These opportunities sit within a growing contractor with strong technical capability across FRP, reinforced concrete and structural infrastructure works. The business is continuing to expand its project portfolio across civil infrastructure, renewable energy and other technically challenging construction sectors.

We are looking for candidates at two different levels. The Senior Estimator will take greater ownership across tender strategy, pricing, risk and bid development, while the Estimator will work closely with experienced pre-contracts and delivery teams to continue building their estimating capability.

Project Engineers with strong FRP and concrete experience who are looking to transition into estimating are also encouraged to apply for the Estimator position.

The Opportunity

Both positions will be involved throughout the tender process, from initial review and quantity take-offs through to pricing, methodology development, subcontractor engagement and final tender submission.

You will work closely with estimating, engineering and project delivery teams to develop competitive tenders that reflect practical construction methodologies and accurately account for project risks.

The opportunities would suit experienced estimators with structures exposure, as well as commercially minded Project Engineers looking to transition into estimating and pre-contracts.

The Role

Depending on your level of experience, you will:

• Prepare detailed estimates and tender submissions for civil and structural projects
• Complete quantity take-offs and detailed cost build-ups
• Review drawings, specifications and tender documentation
• Develop construction methodologies and project staging
• Obtain and assess subcontractor and supplier quotations
• Identify commercial and construction risks throughout the tender process
• Assist with tender clarifications, negotiations and submissions
• Work closely with operational teams to ensure pricing reflects practical project delivery
• Support project handovers following successful tenders
• Contribute to improving estimating systems and processes
• For senior candidates, provide guidance across tender strategy and support less experienced team members

About You

To succeed, you will bring:

• Previous estimating experience within civil construction or infrastructure
• Strong exposure to FRP, reinforced concrete or structural works
• Good understanding of construction methodologies and project delivery
• Ability to interpret drawings, specifications and technical documentation
• Strong numerical and commercial capability
• Experience obtaining and assessing subcontractor and supplier pricing
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• A practical, hands-on approach to estimating
• Exposure to Expert Estimation would be highly regarded

The Benefits

• Salary up to $220k + super for Senior and up to $150k + super for Estimator
• Two opportunities available, Senior Estimator and Estimator
• Brisbane based roles
• Relocation support for the right individuals
• WFH flexibility once you're established in the role
• Diverse pipeline of structural and civil infrastructure projects
• Exposure to renewable energy and technically challenging infrastructure works
• Work closely with experienced estimating and project delivery teams
• Genuine long-term career progression within a growing contractor
