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 new work, prepare quotations, coordinate awarded projects and ensure the commercial and administrative side of each project is properly managed.

Strong Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook skills

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

Involvement in projects from initial client enquiry through to commissioning

Chance to develop across estimating, project management and engineering

Support from experienced engineers, project managers and tradespeople

A growing business with genuine opportunities for career progression

A practical environment where good ideas and initiative are valued

If you understand Industrial electrical projects from automation to light and power, enjoy putting projects together commercially and want to be involved in seeing them successfully delivered, this could be an excellent next step.

We are looking for someone who can combine technical understanding, commercial awareness and strong organisation to estimate accurately and deliver quality industrial projects.
