About the Role
Based in our Wentworth Point Office, the
Electrical Estimator
will be vital to BMD's continued growth in the renewables and water sectors. You will develop accurate, first-principles estimates for the electrical components of complex infrastructure projects delivered through an integrated civil, structural and electrical construction model. Working with project managers, engineers, procurement specialists, subcontractors and suppliers, you will help BMD develop competitive, commercially robust bids that respond to client requirements and project risks.
This is an opportunity to influence our approach to electrical estimating, strengthen our integrated bid capability and contribute to strategic project pursuits across emerging and established infrastructure markets.
Key Responsibilities
develop accurate and detailed first-principles estimates for electrical infrastructure, including labour, materials, equipment, subcontractor costs and overheads
review designs, drawings, schematics,



specifications and tender documentation to identify electrical scope, interfaces, risks and opportunities
prepare material take-offs, scopes of work, supplier enquiries and subcontractor pricing packages
collaborate with civil, structural, engineering, delivery and procurement teams to produce coordinated and competitive tenders
assess the interfaces between electrical works and associated civil and structural construction activities
obtain and evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations, negotiate pricing and prepare comparative commercial analyses
identify value engineering opportunities, alternative methodologies and cost-effective technical solutions
evaluate tender risks and uncertainties, develop mitigation strategies and recommend appropriate contingencies
ensure estimates align with client requirements, project specifications, industry standards and the overall delivery methodology
maintain accurate estimate records, bid documentation, quotations, correspondence and internal approval information
monitor industry developments, technologies and estimating practices relevant to electrical systems in renewables, water and wastewater infrastructure.
About You
You will bring:




demonstrated electrical estimating experience gained with a Tier 1 or Tier 2 civil contractor delivering electrical elements as part of broader civil and structural project scopes
experience preparing first-principles estimates for multidisciplinary infrastructure projects
relevant experience in water, wastewater, renewables, energy or other complex infrastructure sectors
robust knowledge of electrical systems, components, equipment and construction methodologies
the ability to interpret electrical drawings, schematics, specifications and technical documentation
an understanding of how electrical works interface with civil, structural, mechanical and process scopes
advanced Microsoft Excel capability and experience with estimating software such as Expert Estimation, CATS or comparable platforms
sound commercial judgement and experience obtaining, assessing and negotiating supplier and subcontractor pricing
proven attention to detail, with the ability to identify scope gaps, tender risks and value engineering opportunities
