Senior Estimator | Pathway to Estimating Manager

Brisbane | Insurance Building | Genuine Management Progression

An established insurance builder is looking for an experienced Senior Estimator to join their Brisbane team, with a genuine opportunity to progress into an Estimating Manager / Team Lead position.

This role would suit either an experienced Senior Estimator ready to take the next step into leadership, or someone with previous Team Lead / Estimating Manager experience who is looking to join a current business and develop into a broader management position.

Initially, the role will remain hands-on from a technical perspective, with a strong focus on estimate validation, peer reviews, resubmissions and mentoring, while gradually taking on greater responsibility for the wider estimating team.

The position is predominantly office-based in Brisbane, with generally only around one day per week on the road.

The Role

Working closely with the existing estimating team, your responsibilities will include:

- Completing detailed validations and peer reviews of scopes and estimates
- Reviewing estimates for accuracy, completeness and commercial viability prior to submission
- Managing resubmissions, amendments and insurer/client queries
- Providing detailed supporting information and justification where required
- Working across various insurer and client portals
- Assisting Estimators with complex scopes, costings and technical queries
- Mentoring and developing junior and intermediate Estimators
- Providing constructive feedback following estimate reviews




- Ensuring consistency and quality across estimating submissions
- Liaising with insurers, assessors, clients and internal stakeholders
- Assisting with the ongoing development of estimating processes and procedures
- Gradually taking on greater responsibility for the performance and development of the estimating team

About You

You'll already have strong experience within insurance building estimating and be comfortable operating at a senior technical level.

Ideally, you will have:

- Strong experience as an Insurance Building Estimator / Senior Estimator
- Demonstrated experience completing detailed validations and peer reviews
- Strong experience with resubmissions and estimate amendments
- Confidence working across insurer and client portals
- Excellent scope writing and cost-estimating capability
- Strong understanding of residential insurance repairs and construction methodology
- Ability to review another Estimator's work and identify errors, omissions and commercial risks
- Experience mentoring, training or providing technical support to other Estimators
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Previous Team Lead or Estimating Manager experience will be highly regarded, but is not essential

What's On Offer

- Genuine pathway into an Estimating Manager position
- Predominantly office-based role with limited travel
- Opportunity to move away from being on the road every day
- Senior technical responsibility across validations and peer reviews
- Opportunity to mentor and develop an estimating team
- Established insurance building business with an experienced team
- Salary flexible for the right person, based on experience
- Permanent, full-time position based in Brisbane

In the past 5 years we have been extremely humbled to have placed over 16,000 people into meaningful employment. This equates to 21 lives enhanced every day!
