Pre-Contracts & Delivery Manager (Estimating, BD & Operations)

We need more than a standard estimator who sits in a silo. We are looking for an agile Pre-Contracts & Delivery Manager—our team’s growth driver and operational linchpin.

Titles can evolve, but the calibre of the person shouldn’t. You will price the work, win the relationships, streamline delivery, and step into operations to keep projects moving whenever needed.

About the Opportunity

We need more than a standard estimator who sits in a silo. We are looking for an agile Pre-Contracts & Delivery Manager—our team’s growth driver and operational linchpin.

Titles can evolve, but the calibre of the person shouldn’t. You will price the work, win the relationships, streamline delivery, and step into operations to keep projects moving whenever needed.

What Your Week Looks Like

- Estimating & Bid Management: Own tenders from first-principles pricing, methodology, and scheduling through to closing.

- Pre-Tender Strategy: Run pre-tender review meetings with leadership, advising which projects to target, negotiate, or avoid.

- Seamless Project Handover: Transition awarded jobs cleanly to site teams, managing expectations and ensuring client promises are met on the ground.

- Business Development: Leverage your Queensland network, open doors with new tier-level clients, and co-design capability statements and market campaigns.

- Delivery & Operational Gap-Filling: When quoting volume is steady, you don’t sit idle—you assist project teams, deliver small works packages, and resolve site challenges.

- Systems & Team Building: Implement streamlined systems, maintain a tidy live tender register,



and manage pre-contracts support staff (including offshore team members, with potential international travel).

Our Expectations & Working Standards

We operate on high standards, clear benchmarks, and direct communication:

- Pace: Minor quotes delivered within 3 working days; major tenders closed on time or client extensions secured well ahead of deadline.

- Disciplined Systems: Work exclusively within company CRM and accounting platforms—no loose notes, napkins, or disconnected spreadsheets.

- Customer Retention: 100% follow-up on completed jobs with satisfaction reviews within 72 hours.

- Initiative: We value self-starters who think ahead of leadership—the mindset of "I noticed the gap, thought ahead, and took care of it."

- Accountability: Monthly reviews against agreed drivers. We reward success with generous bonuses; missing targets means no bonus and a frank, constructive conversation on corrective actions.

What You Bring

- Proven Estimating Background: Demonstrated success compiling complete tenders, cost models, programs, and methodologies within construction, civil, or commercial trade sectors.

- Commercial Acumen: Solid understanding of gross margins, contract administration, and project scheduling.

- Client & BD Skills: Existing connections across Queensland, confident face-to-face communication, and professional representation at client meetings and industry events.

- Agile Mindset: Comfortable wearing multiple hats—equally proficient at detailed spreadsheet analysis, client presentations, and site-level minor works coordination.

- Standard Working Hours: Monday to Friday (start and finish times can be negotiated to suit you lifestyle)
