About the organisation
Our client is a national provider of tailored end-of-lease reinstatement, industrial construction, major fit-outs and commercial renovations. A wholly owned subsidiary of a highly successful family-owned industrial group, they combine the scale and capability of a large, established organisation with the agility of a fast-growing business. On a growth trajectory and an ambitious vision for the future, they are developing new ventures to advance this business to the next level. Operating across metro and regional Australia, they’re known for delivering quality outcomes on commercial and retail projects – everything from minor upgrades to multi-million-dollar transformations. With a recently expanded team, a pipeline of business, and a much larger and newly refurbished Dandenong office opening in 2026, it’s an exciting time to join the organisation.
About the role
Working closely with the General Manager and partnering with Sales and Project Managers, the Estimator will take ownership of tenders from concept through to submission. From reviewing project documentation to preparing detailed estimates and negotiating subcontractor pricing, this includes playing a key role in shaping winning bids and profitable outcomes. This is a role that balances time in the office with regular site visits – connecting with project teams, seeing the work firsthand, and ensuring estimates reflect real-world conditions. This means being hands-on with everything from $30K minor works to $2M+ major fit-outs. Longer-term, the Estimator will help build the systems and processes that support sustainable growth, with a clear pathway to eventually build and lead a team.
About you
More than just a numbers person, you understand the story behind the scope. With a background in commercial or high-end residential estimating, you bring precision, pragmatism, and the confidence to back your numbers in front of clients and subcontractors alike. You thrive in a collaborative setting, working across disciplines and navigating moving pieces with calm focus. You are comfortable juggling multiple projects, visiting sites, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with delivery teams to get the best result. Importantly, you are looking for a role where you can have an impact, and can help shape the way things are done. You bring estimating software skills, a strong grasp of Australian Building Standards, and ideally a relevant qualification.
