Absolute Enterprises is seeking an experienced Estimator to join our Cooling Division in Paget.
This is a hands-on, workshop-facing role responsible for inspecting, scoping, costing and quoting repairs on heavy mining and industrial cooling components.
We are looking for someone with real technical understanding—ideally a radiator technician, mechanical tradesperson, or workshop supervisor—who can turn inspection findings into clear, accurate and commercially sound repair scopes.
This is not a desk-only estimating role.
You will work closely with customers and workshop teams to assess component condition, define repair requirements, and ensure fully scoped, approved work is handed over correctly.
About the Role
You will own the estimating process from initial enquiry through to workshop handover.
This includes inspecting components, reviewing test results, identifying damage, and preparing complete repair scopes and quotations.
Once approved, you will ensure the workshop receives a clear, accurate job pack covering scope, costs, quality requirements and turnaround expectations.
Key Responsibilities
Review customer enquiries, assets and turnaround requirements
Inspect radiators, coolers, heat exchangers and related components
Assess condition after cleaning, stripping and pressure testing
Work with workshop staff to define repair requirements
Identify damage, wear, corrosion and failure points
Prepare clear repair scopes and cost breakdowns
Quote labour, materials, cores, parts, subcontract and freight
Source pricing and lead times from suppliers
Issue accurate quotations with clear inclusions and assumptions
Follow up quotes and manage approvals




Convert approved quotes into complete workshop job packs
Communicate scope clearly to supervisors and trades
Manage variations and obtain approval before extra work proceeds
Keep customers updated on scope, cost and timing changes
Support WIP reviews and workshop prioritisation
Maintain accurate records in company systems
Contribute to improving estimating accuracy and workflow efficiency
About You
You will ideally have:
Experience in radiator repair, mechanical fitting, diesel fitting or similar
Exposure to estimating or workshop job scoping
Strong understanding of cooling systems (radiators, oil coolers, heat exchangers)
Ability to assess damaged components and define repair solutions
Good commercial awareness of labour and material costs
Ability to read technical drawings and specifications
Strong communication and customer interaction skills
High attention to detail and accuracy
Ability to manage multiple jobs and deadlines
Experience with mining equipment (Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Liebherr) is highly regarded.
The Role Challenge
You sit at the critical point between customer request and workshop execution.
Success means producing fast, accurate quotes without missing scope, risks or costs.
You will need to think ahead, ask the right questions, and ensure the workshop receives explicit, complete instructions every time.
What We Offer
Stable full-time role in a growing division
Exposure to major mining and industrial equipment
Technical, varied and hands‐on work
Strong team support and experienced leadership
Opportunity to improve systems and processes
Competitive salary based on experience
Focus on safety, quality and accountability
