Senior Estimator

I’m working with a well-established Queensland construction and development business with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects across the commercial construction sector.

The business delivers a diverse range of projects across education, industrial, hospitality, retail and commercial sectors, including both new build and fitout projects. They have a strong pipeline of work ahead and are continuing to grow, creating a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Estimator to join the team.

This is a business that genuinely values its people, with a collaborative and supportive culture, strong leadership and a team environment where people are given the opportunity to take ownership and progress their careers.

The Role:
  • Managing the end-to-end estimating process for a range of commercial projects
  • Preparing accurate and competitive cost plans, estimates and tenders
  • Reviewing project documentation, drawings and specifications
  • Preparing and managing subcontractor and supplier packages
  • Issuing RFQs and analysing subcontractor and supplier pricing
  • Building strong relationships with subcontractors, suppliers and consultants
  • Identifying project risks, opportunities and cost-saving initiatives
  • Working closely with the pre-construction and construction teams
  • Assisting with tender presentations and client negotiations
  • Supporting the business in securing new projects and maintaining strong client relationships
   
About You:
  • 5+ years’ estimating experience within commercial construction
  • Proven experience pricing new build and fitout projects
  • Strong project experience across education, industrial, hospitality and retail
  • Excellent understanding of construction methodologies, costs and procurement
  • Strong subcontractor and supplier relationships across the Brisbane market
  • Excellent attention to detail and commercial awareness
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills
  • The ability to manage multiple tenders and deadlines
  • A proactive approach with the confidence to take ownership of projects
If you're an experienced Senior Estimator looking for a long-term opportunity with a builder that has great people, strong projects and plenty of work ahead, I’d love to have a confidential conversation.
