What they need
Why is this role for you?
You enjoy estimating, but you know you're only scratching the surface.
Maybe you're pricing small jobs, doing take-offs all day or working for someone too busy to mentor you properly. You want someone to teach you the commercial side of estimating, how to win tenders and how experienced estimators think.
And you’ll get that in bucketloads here.
You'll join a team of three experienced new build estimators working on D+C projects valued between $5million and $40million. They'll teach you everything from take-offs and subcontractor packages through to tender submissions and pricing strategy.
The Estimating Manager has over 30 years' experience and genuinely enjoys developing junior people. The Director is also very hands-on and supportive which is one of the reasons why their staff retention is so high.
You'll work in a structured environment where you'll learn the right way from day one rather than picking up bad habits, setting you up for life as an estimator in Australia.
Starting salary is between $90k - $120k + super + bonus, with yearly salary reviews as your skills improve. The more you learn, the more you earn.
If you're looking for genuine career development, supportive mentors and a business that wants to invest in your future, then this is the role for you.
Sounds great! What skills do you need from me?
If you can answer yes to these 5 points, then we'd love to hear from you.
- You have 1-3 years' experience working as an estimator or a QS in Australia with a head contractor
- You've had exposure to take-offs, subcontractor pricing or tender submissions
- You have a construction/engineering related degree or diploma
- You can drive and can work in Artamon 5 days a week. There is now WFH option.
- You’ve ideally had exposure to estimating software like Cubit, Estimateone and Mudshark
I’m intrigued, what’s the next step?
You don’t need to send a CV at this stage. Just call James on 0414417044 for an informal chat or send me an email telling me why you’re interested.
