Senior Electrical Estimator

$180k–$220k + Career Progression + Fairfield Office (1 day WFH)

Are you an experienced Electrical Estimator ready to take ownership of major commercial and industrial tenders?

Do you want to join a rapidly growing contractor with national backing and the opportunity to step into a true leadership position?

On offer is the chance to lead estimating for large-scale projects, shape strategy within the VIC team, and become the go-to senior across complex tenders. You’ll work closely with the leadership team while guiding junior estimators and influencing the growth trajectory of the business.

This company has scaled significantly over the past decade and now delivers substantial commercial and industrial projects across a broad client base. With a strong pipeline and continued expansion, they are investing in senior talent who can operate autonomously and add strategic value to the estimating function.

The Role:
  • Lead the preparation of accurate, competitive, and high-quality estimates for major projects
  • Analyse drawings, specifications, and complex project requirements to develop detailed costing strategies
  • Review subcontractor and supplier pricing, identify risks, and provide value-engineering alternatives
  • Work closely with project, engineering, and leadership teams through handover and tender reviews
  • Mentor and support junior estimating staff, helping develop capability within the VIC branch
The Person:
  • Strong background in electrical estimating across large commercial or industrial projects (e.g., $10M+ environments)
  • Deep understanding of electrical installations, labour rates, materials, and delivery methodologies
  • Proficient with estimating systems such as ConEst or Simpro (or similar platforms)
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to work autonomously on complex bids
  • Comfortable contributing to tender strategy, pricing structures, and project planning
