Manuplex is a proudly Queensland-owned business delivering high-quality structural steel, fabrication, and construction solutions across Central Queensland. Working alongside leading mining, industrial, and commercial clients, we're seeking an experienced and motivated
Estimator
to join our growing team in Rockhampton.
If you're looking for a role where your expertise directly influences project success, while enjoying a genuine work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.
Why Join Manuplex?
4-day work week
giving you more time for family, hobbies, and life outside of work
Competitive salary based on experience
Opportunity to work on diverse structural steel and construction projects
Join a growing and respected regional business with a strong reputation for quality
Supportive leadership team that values initiative, innovation, and skilled growth
Positive team culture built on trust, respect, and collaboration
About the Role
As an Estimator, you'll play a key role in securing new work and supporting the successful delivery of projects. You'll be responsible for preparing accurate and competitive estimates for structural steel and construction projects from initial enquiry through to tender submission.
Key Responsibilities
Review project documentation, drawings, and specifications
Prepare detailed cost estimates, take-offs, and tender submissions
Source and evaluate supplier and subcontractor pricing
Develop labour, material, equipment, and resource estimates
Attend site inspections, pre-tender meetings, and client consultations




Identify project risks and opportunities during the tender process
Collaborate closely with project managers, engineers, and operational teams
Maintain estimating records and ensure compliance with company standards

Experience in estimating within construction, structural steel, fabrication, or related industries
Strong knowledge of structural steel construction methods and fabrication processes
Ability to interpret technical drawings and project specifications
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
High attention to detail and accuracy

Highly Regarded
Trade qualification in fabrication, boilermaking, construction, or a related field
Previous dedicated estimating experience
Relevant tertiary qualifications in engineering, construction, or project management
Knowledge of Australian Standards relating to structural steel and fabrication
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is more than a desk-based estimating role. You'll be involved with real projects, real clients, and a team that values your input. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to major structural steel and construction projects while enjoying the flexibility of a
4-day work week
and a workplace that genuinely supports its people.
Salary negotiable and will be tailored to your skills and experience.
