Commercial Construction & Industrial Projects

Lancasters Electrical is a Queensland-owned and operated electrical contracting and industrial automation business, with an established reputation across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and regional Queensland. We work across commercial construction, industrial automation, and water/wastewater infrastructure, and we’re looking for an experienced Estimator to help drive our next stage of growth.

About the role

You’ll be the numbers behind the wins — estimating commercial construction fit-outs, small-to-medium industrial projects, and switchboard/control system works. This is a hands-on role with real ownership of the estimating process, working directly with the Director on pricing strategy and tender submissions.

What you’ll be doing

- Estimating electrical works for commercial construction projects (fit-outs, new builds, refurbishments $500k - $1.5m)

- Pricing small industrial projects — control systems, motor control, switchboard supply

- Reading and interpreting drawings, SLDs, and specifications to build accurate cost breakdowns

- Sourcing supplier and subcontractor pricing

- Preparing tender documentation, returnable schedules,



and WHS compliance documents

- Handing over won projects cleanly to the delivery team

What you’ll bring

- Solid experience estimating commercial construction electrical works (essential)

- Comfortable pricing smaller industrial jobs — panels, control gear, motors, VSDs

- Solid drawing and specification literacy

- Sharp attention to detail and a genuine care about getting numbers right

- Ability to juggle multiple quotes and deadlines without dropping the ball

Highly regarded

- Switchboard quoting experience (AS/NZS 61439, enclosure systems such as Elsteel)

- Exposure to industrial automation or process control environments

Why join Lancasters

- A trusted, established local name with a growing footprint across SEQ

- Genuine variety of work — commercial builds through to industrial automation

- Direct line to the Director — fast decisions, no corporate layers

- Real opportunity to shape estimating processes as the business scales
