Own the pricing on commercial HVAC maintenance. Recurring contract work with a national contractor, tenders to $2M North of the river.
HVAC Service Estimator | Commercial Maintenance
Perth, North of the River | Full Time
Most estimators spend their careers chasing the next job. This one is built on contracts that renew, clients that stay, and a pipeline that does not disappear when the construction cycle turns.
About the Role
Reporting to the National Estimator, you will own the pricing of commercial HVAC maintenance work, from quick turnaround service quotes through to tenders in the $40,000 to $200,000 range. The largest submission to date sat at $1.5 million.
You will:
Price and prepare commercial HVAC maintenance proposals and contract renewals
Lead pricing and submissions for new maintenance tender opportunities
Build pricing from first principles, covering labour staging, scheduling, equipment scopes and whole of contract cost
Interrogate scopes of work, specifications, pricing schedules and procurement documents
Work with service teams, branch managers and subcontractors to confirm pricing, scope and service requirements
Manage submission requirements and deadlines across multiple live opportunities
You will have real ownership of your numbers. This is not a role where you fill in someone else's template and pass it up the line.
What You'll Need to Succeed
Minimum two years in an estimating role
, pricing works and preparing submissions
Commercial HVAC, mechanical services or building services background
The ability to read a scope, find what is missing and price the risk rather than just the obvious
Robust written communication, your submissions are what the client actually judges
Confidence working across pricing schedules, procurement documents and digital systems
Excellent organisational skills and the discipline to manage competing deadlines
Located North of the River | Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
Highly regarded:
Maintenance contract pricing,



contract renewals or recurring service pricing
Planned preventative maintenance structures, scheduling and compliance requirements
Subcontractor service pricing and service scope negotiation
Formal tender submissions and procurement panel processes
Worth knowing: maintenance estimating is its own discipline. A strong construction or project estimator can absolutely make the move, but if you have priced maintenance contracts, renewals or service tenders before, you will be well ahead from day one.
Why You'll Love It
The work is recurring, not one and done.
Maintenance contracts renew, which means the pipeline holds up when project work slows across the market
You are close to the decision.
Your pricing determines what the business wins, and you will see the outcome of your submissions rather than handing them off and hearing nothing
Scope beyond a single branch.
A national Service Estimation team gives you exposure to opportunities across multiple states and sectors
Peers who know the work.
Experienced estimators alongside you, not a lone estimator role where you have nobody to test your thinking against
A specialist market.
There are very few genuine maintenance estimators in Australia, which puts you in a strong position for the rest of your career
A settled working life.
North of the River base, a collaborative team, and a business with a consistent book of work behind it
