About BSE Australia

BSE Australia is an established industrial electrical, engineering and automation contractor delivering projects, maintenance and engineering solutions across manufacturing, food and beverage, hazardous areas and other industrial sectors

Our capabilities include industrial electrical construction, automation and control systems, PLC/SCADA, engineering, hazardous-area works, maintenance and commissioning.

Due to continued growth, we are looking for an Electrical Estimator / Project Coordinator to join our team and support projects from initial enquiry and estimating through to procurement, delivery and close-out.

The Opportunity

This is a varied role combining electrical estimating, project coordination and commercial support.

You will work closely with our engineering, project, sales and field teams to scope and estimate recent work, prepare quotations, coordinate awarded projects and ensure the commercial and administrative side of each project is properly managed.

The position would suit an experienced electrical estimator, project coordinator, electrician, electrical supervisor or engineer who understands how electrical projects are actually delivered and wants to take greater ownership of projects from tender through to completion.

This is not purely a desk-based estimating role. You will have the opportunity to attend client sites, review project requirements, assist with developing solutions and remain involved once the project is awarded.

- Coordinate site requirements with clients and field teams

- Attend client, project and site meetings where required

- Assist with commercial documentation including safety documentation

Project Close-Out

- Coordinate testing, commissioning and completion requirements

- Assist with defects and outstanding works

- Coordinate as-built drawings and project documentation

- Prepare handover packages, test results and O&M; documentation

About You

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

- Experience within the electrical contracting, engineering in the industrial industrial sector

- Strong organisation and attention to detail

- Ability to manage multiple estimates and projects simultaneously

- Confidence communicating with clients, engineers, suppliers, subcontractors and field personnel

- A proactive, solutions-focused approach

- The ability to take ownership and follow tasks through to completion

An electrical trade background, engineering qualification would be highly regarded but is not essential for the right candidate with strong industry experience.

Experience with industrial electrical systems, PLC/automation projects, instrumentation, hazardous areas, switchboards or industrial construction would also be highly regarded.

What We Offer

- Full-time position

- Competitive remuneration based on experience and capability

- Exposure to a diverse range of industrial electrical and automation projects
