A well established tier 2 civil contractor is
strengthening its tendering team in Sydney and NSW. The business
sits within a broader, vertically integrated construction group,
giving you genuine depth behind your tenders and real support
during delivery, not just at bid time. This role is integral to the
tendering function. It suits an estimator who can price from first
principles, understands buildability, and enjoys contributing to
the full submission, including methodology and non price
documentation. The project mix spans civil and structures led work
across NSW, with strong exposure to transport and road authority
scopes . The opportunity You will join a contractor that publicly
backs disciplined planning, scheduling and budgeting, and that has
explicit, documented systems around quality, safety and environmental
responsibilities. The group's integration means you are not
estimating in a vacuum. In house capability across plant, heavy
haulage, quarry and materials, concrete, rail and specialist
services strengthens both pricing confidence and delivery
methodology, which is exactly what sophisticated clients expect in
Sydney and NSW. The role You will take ownership of tenders from
initial review through to submission, working closely with
operations, construction and commercial teams to build deliverable,
competitive outcomes. Typical project exposure includes transport
and road works, utilities and services interfaces, structures and
bridge related scopes, and broader civil packages. What you will be
doing Developing first principles estimates and hard dollar




build-ups across civil and structures scopes. Engaging
subcontractors and suppliers to lock in market-tested pricing and
delivery constraints. Producing and reviewing tender documentation,
clarifications and returnable schedules. Supporting non-price
submission inputs such as construction methodology, staging and
program logic. Building tender programs using Microsoft Project and
or Primavera P6 to align scope, sequencing and pricing assumptions.
Maintaining cost databases, benchmarking, and post-tender handover
packs to support delivery teams. Contributing to the continuous
improvement of estimating governance, accuracy and bid processes.
About you You will be an experienced civil estimator with credible
exposure to bridges and complex civil scopes , up to $150M , and
you will be comfortable operating as a senior member of the bid
team. Key experience and capabilities likely to suit this role
include: Significant experience in bridge and civil estimating
across NSW-style project environments. Site-based delivery
experience is highly regarded, particularly where it has informed
your buildability and methodology thinking. Strong capability in




preparing and contributing to non-price tender documentation and
construction methodology narratives. High attention to detail,
strong communication, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
within a live tender pipeline. Solid planning software capability
using Microsoft Project and or Primavera P6. Experience with Expert
is preferred, or you can demonstrate quick adoption of structured
estimating systems. Why join This role is with a multi business
civil construction group with an established presence in NSW and a
Sydney office base, offering both stability and variety. The
business backs its safety claims with formal systems and
accreditations, and it is explicit that safety is fundamental to
how work is done. That matters if you are experienced enough to
know the difference between a slogan and real operational
standards. You will also be joining an organisation that publicly
lists tangible people benefits and development investment,
including training and development, wellness initiatives, private
health insurance discounts, and fitness membership discounts.
Finally, there is credible industry recognition behind the delivery
brand, including published results from NSW civil construction
awards and year on year awards commentary. How to apply If you
