Turn complex electrical designs into winning projects.

An established Brisbane electrical manufacturer is looking for an experienced Electrical Estimator to take ownership of tenders and quotations across custom-built switchboards, control panels and industrial electrical projects.

This is not general construction estimating.

You will work directly with electrical drawings, switchgear, technical specifications, suppliers, engineers and the production team to develop accurate, commercially competitive proposals.

If you understand how switchboards are designed, priced and built, this is an opportunity to use that knowledge in a position where your work has a direct impact on the projects the business wins.

The opportunity

You will manage estimates from the initial enquiry through to handover, including:

- Reviewing electrical drawings, specifications and tender documents.
- Preparing detailed labour, material and subcontractor estimates.
- Completing electrical take-offs and bills of materials.
- Pricing custom LV switchboards, control panels and related electrical systems.
- Obtaining and negotiating supplier pricing.
- Identifying project risks, exclusions, assumptions and commercial opportunities.
- Preparing qualified tenders and client quotations.
- Clarifying technical requirements with clients, builders and contractors.
- Working directly with engineering and production teams.
- Handing successful tenders over to procurement and project delivery.




- Attending occasional site visits and pre-tender meetings.

What will make you successful

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in:

- Switchboard or electrical estimating.
- LV switchboards, MCCs, distribution boards or control panels.
- Reading electrical schematics, single-line diagrams and technical specifications.
- Electrical take-offs, bills of materials and supplier pricing.
- Preparing accurate commercial quotations and tenders.
- Working with switchgear manufacturers and electrical suppliers.

You may come from an electrical trade, switchboard building, electrical engineering or technical estimating background. Experience with AS/NZS 61439, AS/NZS 3000, Excel, SimPRO, CABSY or similar software would be highly regarded.

Why consider this role?

- Salary of $110,000–$155,000 + super, depending on experience.
- Permanent position with an established electrical manufacturer.
- Work on technically interesting, custom-built projects.
- Take genuine ownership of your estimates.
- Work closely with engineering, procurement and production.
- See the projects you price move into manufacturing and delivery.
- Join a practical, knowledgeable and close-knit technical team.
- Immediate start available for the right person.

This position would suit an experienced estimator or switchboard professional ready to step away from the tools and apply their technical knowledge commercially.
