Job Description

An award-winning and highly established volume home building company, based in the South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, with a total team count of 55 full-time staff and building approximately 120 homes per year with average contract values ranging from $900k-$1.5m are looking to hire an experienced Sales Estimator to join their growing team based in their stunning and modern South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne office.

Homes built by the business can range from Greenfield and Knockdown-Rebuild Projects.

The Opportunity

As Sales Estimator, you will manage pricing across the front end of the residential building process, including sales quotes, building tenders, customer variations, site works and fixed house-and-land packages.

You’ll review plans, engineering, developer guidelines and approved design changes to ensure every structural, compliance and cost requirement is captured accurately. Working closely with sales, drafting and construction support, you’ll resolve pricing queries, maintain the variation price book and help protect margins before projects move into construction.

This role will suit an experienced estimator who can work independently, manage competing deadlines and apply practical building knowledge—not simply rely on standard rates.
