Job Description
Ready to take the next step in your career?
CAD Constructions is looking for an experienced, trade-qualified person to join our growing team as a Project Coordinator / Estimator.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced tradesperson who has strong practical construction knowledge and is ready to move away from being on the tools full-time and into estimating, planning and operations coordination.
This is a key position within CAD Constructions and will work closely with our Directors, Operations Supervisor and administration team.
The Role
As our Project Coordinator / Estimator, you will be responsible for taking jobs from initial enquiry and scope through to an accurate quotation and transparent delivery plan.
Once a job is approved, you will establish the budget, labour allowances, materials and expected timeframe for the works and work closely with our Operations Supervisor to ensure the job is progressing in line with what has been quoted.
Your responsibilities will include:
Attending site inspections and assessing required works
Preparing detailed scopes of work
Estimating labour, materials, subcontractors and project costs
Preparing accurate and competitive quotations
Reading plans, specifications and client scopes
Obtaining supplier and subcontractor pricing
Establishing realistic labour allowances and job timeframes
Setting expected completion dates and project milestones
Providing the Operations Supervisor with clear job budgets, allowances and delivery expectations
Monitoring job progress against quoted labour, costs and timeframes
Following up with the Operations Supervisor where jobs are falling behind schedule or outside the quoted allowances
Identifying potential cost or timeframe issues early
Assisting with variations and additional works
Maintaining communication with key clients regarding quotations, upcoming works and project timeframes
Working with management to improve estimating,



job planning and profitability
Becoming a key point of contact within CAD Constructions for clients, suppliers and subcontractors
This is not a site supervisor position.
Our Operations Supervisor is responsible for managing the field team and day-to-day delivery of works.
Your role is to ensure our jobs are properly scoped, accurately quoted, realistically planned and commercially monitored through to completion.
About You
To be successful in this role, you will be:
Experienced in the building, construction or maintenance industry
Strong in practical construction knowledge
Able to accurately assess how long works should take
Confident estimating labour and material requirements
Commercially minded and conscious of job profitability
Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Comfortable communicating with clients, trades, suppliers and management
Confident holding people accountable to agreed project timeframes
Able to identify potential problems before they impact a project's budget or deadline
Computer literate and willing to learn our systems
Positive, reliable and looking for a long-term career opportunity
Experience in carpentry, building maintenance, renovations, insurance works, commercial maintenance or similar construction environments will be highly regarded.
Why CAD Constructions?
CAD Constructions is a locally owned and growing Central West construction and maintenance business servicing a diverse range of commercial, government and private clients.
We are looking for someone who wants to become a key part of our management team and help us continue improving how we quote, plan and deliver our work.
For the right person, this role offers genuine opportunity to grow with the company and take on greater responsibility as the business continues to expand.
If you're an experienced tradesperson who understands construction, knows how long a job should take and is ready to take your knowledge from the tools into estimating and project coordination, we'd like to hear from you.
