Estimator – Urban Development (Subdivisions)
Help Shape the Communities Before They're Built
Every subdivision starts long before the first machine hits the ground.
It starts with a decision: Can we win it?
Can we deliver it?
And at what cost?
At our client, those decisions matter—and they're made by people who understand the detail, the risk, and the reality of delivering urban development projects in SE Queensland.
As an Estimator specialising in subdivisions, you won't just be pricing jobs.
You'll be helping shape new communities—roads, services, drainage, and infrastructure that define how people live.
This is a role for someone who understands the ground conditions, the utilities challenges, and the commercial pressures that come with urban development—and enjoys turning that into smart, competitive, and deliverable tenders.
Why This Role Matters
Our client is building a strong position in the SE QLD urban development market—working with developers, consultants, and delivery partners across a growing pipeline of subdivision projects.
Winning the right work—and pricing it properly—is critical.
That's where you come in.
You'll be the person who:
Sees risk where others don't
Understands what drawings don't always say
Prices work not just to win—but to deliver successfully
What You'll Be Doing (Day to Day)
This is a hands‐on estimating role focused on multiple projects.
You'll:
Prepare detailed cost estimates for subdivision and urban development projects
Review drawings, specifications, and geotechnical data to identify risks and opportunities
Build first‐principles estimates across earthworks, roadworks, drainage, and utilities




Engage with suppliers and subcontractors to obtain competitive pricing
Work closely with delivery teams to ensure estimates reflect real construction methodologies
Participate in tender strategy discussions—where to push, where to protect margin
Support value engineering and alternative methodologies to improve competitiveness
Contribute to post‐tender handovers so delivery teams start with clarity
You'll be involved from early‐stage opportunity through to final submission.
What Makes This Role Different
This isn't just about sitting behind a spreadsheet.
You'll be:
Working on projects that actually get built—subdivisions shaping SE QLD growth
Involved in decision‐making, not just number‐crunching
Collaborating with people who understand construction, not just theory
Given the autonomy to apply your judgement and experience
And importantly—you'll see the outcomes of your work on site.
About You
You're someone who understands how subdivisions really work—not just on paper.
You likely:
Have experience estimating civil works for urban development / subdivisions
Understand SE QLD conditions—ground, weather, utilities, and authority requirements
Can build estimates from first principles, not just rely on historical rates
Are commercially aware and understand the balance between winning work and protecting margin




Communicate well with both technical teams and leadership
Enjoy problem‐solving and thinking beyond what's shown in the drawings
Whether you're an established estimator or stepping up into a more senior role, what matters most is your practical understanding of delivery and risk.
Typical Project Scope You'll Work On
Bulk earthworks and site preparation
Roadworks and pavement construction
Stormwater drainage and flood mitigation
Sewer, water, and utilities coordination
Retaining structures and associated civil works
Full greenfield and staged subdivision developments

They are building a reputation in SE QLD for delivering practical, high‐quality civil outcomes across urban development projects.
What that means for you:
You'll be part of a business that's actively growing—not standing still
Your input will be valued in real decisions—not buried in layers of process
You'll work alongside experienced delivery teams who understand constructability
There's explicit opportunity to grow into Senior Estimator or work‐winning leadership roles
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role isn't just about accurate numbers.
It looks like:
Estimates that reflect real‐world delivery conditions
Identifying risks early—before they become problems
Pricing work that the business both wins and delivers profitably
Building trust with leadership as a key voice in tender decisions
If This Sounds Like You
This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can:
Apply your experience to meaningful projects
Influence which work gets won
And be part of a team shaping the next wave of urban development in SE QLD
