. This role focuses on competitive tendering, pre-contract pricing and production estimating, working closely with our Building Consultants, Project Managers and Construction team to ensure every project is accurately costed from concept through to site commencement.
The Opportunity
As an Estimator, you'll take ownership of multiple tenders and projects simultaneously, preparing detailed cost estimates, Bills of Quantities and purchase orders while ensuring accuracy, commercial outcomes and exceptional customer service.

Managing pricing throughout the customer journey, including variations and contract adjustments.
Working closely with Building Consultants, Project Managers, Site Managers and suppliers to ensure seamless project delivery.

Strong understanding of residential construction methods, sequencing and costs.
Experience preparing competitive tenders and production estimates.
The ability to read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings.
Excellent commercial judgement and attention to detail.
Solid stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work autonomously.

Site or construction experience before moving into estimating will be viewed favourably.
At Mazzei, we are passionate about creating remarkable homes while building a workplace where great people can do their best work.
You'll be joining a business that values:
