Introduction:

About the job

Strata Community Insurance delivers tailored insurance solutions that protect the people who live and work in Australia's strata communities. As a specialist strata underwriting agency, we're recognised for our deep expertise, reliable service and solid industry partnerships - and for the confidence our people bring to every community we serve.

We are looking for a Building Estimator to join our Building and Assessment Services team (BAS) based in Brisbane. In this role you will validate repair scopes, methodologies and costs to make sure each claim is tied to causation, priced fairly for its location, and delivered to a consistent standard. Your work will support faster resolution, protect sustainable portfolios, and strengthen the quality and accountability of our building partners.

What you’ll do

Conduct Fair & Reasonable and Quote & Scope validations across strata residential and commercial claims, aligning scope and methodology to our Product Disclosure Statement.

Confirm scope ties to the cause of damage, check labour and materials separation, and validate fair-market pricing across metro, regional and remote markets.

Identify and constructively resolve leakage, over-scoping and pricing inconsistencies.

Verify trade certificates, licences, insurances and safety prequalification (such as ISO 45001 or CM3), and check completed works against building-code, quality and Work Health and Safety requirements.

Support supplier onboarding, offboarding and performance management, including builder evaluations, structured feedback and dispute resolution.

Work across Wilbur and other claims platforms, capturing structured data and helping improve our validation methods, templates and technical standards.

What you’ll bring

Experience in insurance-led building assessing, restoration or repairs across residential, strata and commercial property.

A background in field or desktop assessing,



estimating or repair project management.

Hands-on experience with builder estimating platforms and insurer or vendor portals (for example Prime Ecosystems, enData or Crunchwork).

Sound knowledge of construction pricing and rates across the major state markets, plus the National Construction Code (NCC), relevant Australian Standards and Work Health and Safety requirements.

Exceptional stakeholder management, with the ability to align builders, adjusters and internal teams and resolve disputes through reason and governance.

A relevant building and construction qualification - a trade certificate, Certificate IV, Diploma, or a builder or supervisor licence - or equivalent demonstrable experience.

What we offer

Wellbeing at the centre. Through our diverse offering of benefits.

Flexibility that works both ways. Our In Community culture means we spend our week together in the office or out in the strata community, with flexibility available as you need it.

Career growth. An individual development plan tailored to your goals, backed by training and support for professional qualifications.

Leave that reflects our values. Community Connections leave to volunteer with a charity you care about, paid parental leave including superannuation, and the option to purchase additional leave.
