Senior Solar & Electrical Estimator

Great White Solar & Electrical

Hybrid Role | Work from Home + Monthly trip to HQ in Nambucca Heads, NSW

Full Time | $120,000 – $140,000 + Super (Negotiable Based on Experience)

We're growing quickly and have reached the point where estimating has become one of the most important functions in our business. Rather than expecting our sales consultants to juggle relationship building, quoting and technical design, we're investing in a dedicated estimator whose job is to get every project right before it's sold.

The Best Estimators Don't Just Price Jobs. They Build Great Businesses.

Some people look at a set of plans and see another job.

You see labour hours, cable runs, Bills of Materials, Gross Profit Per Hour… and probably a few things everyone else has missed.

If you're the type of person who enjoys solving technical problems, building accurate pricing, and making sure every project is set up for success before the first tool comes out of the van—we think you'll fit right in.

At Great White Solar & Electrical, we don't believe winning every job is success.

We believe winning the right jobs, at the right price, while protecting quality, profitability, and our reputation is what builds a great business.

We're looking for an experienced Solar & Electrical Estimator who enjoys solving technical challenges, improving systems, and supporting a high-performing sales team.

This isn't just another estimating role.

You'll become the technical backbone of our sales operation, ensuring every proposal is commercially sound, technically accurate, and ready for seamless delivery.

As we continue expanding into commercial solar, batteries, Level 2 electrical works and off-grid systems, this role will become one of the most important positions in our business.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

? $120,000 - $140,000 Salary + Super (negotiable for the right person)

? Hybrid role - Enjoy the flexibility of working from home, with fully paid monthly trips to our Nambucca Heads office – including flights and accommodation – to connect and collaborate with the team.

⚡ Work across residential, commercial, battery,

No bureaucracy.

No micromanagement.

Just people who care about doing quality work and helping each other succeed.
