Civil Estimator | HV Substation EPC | Sydney, NSW | Permanent
We're recruiting a Civil Estimator for an Australian-owned HV engineering and EPC business with a growing substation portfolio and a solid technical bench behind it.
This is a genuine opportunity to own the civil side of the estimate on live HV substation projects, working alongside an established Bid team and technical delivery staff who know the space inside out.
What you'll be doing:
Preparing accurate, competitive cost estimates for civil, structural and earthworks packages on HV substation projects
Completing quantity take-offs and pricing earthworks, drainage, foundations, retaining structures and concrete works
Reviewing drawings, specifications and scopes of work to identify risks and value-engineering opportunities
Obtaining, assessing and negotiating supplier and subcontractor pricing
Building and maintaining a network of reliable civil subcontractors and suppliers
Working closely with the Electrical Estimator and Bid Manager to pull together compliant, well-priced tender submissions
Contributing to post-tender reviews and keeping cost databases and benchmarking data current




What you'll bring:
Solid estimating experience in civil, structural or earthworks packages, ideally on substation, transmission or broader HV infrastructure projects
Confidence reading and interpreting civil drawings, specifications and contract documentation
Strong Excel skills; experience with estimating platforms (e.g. CCS/Candy, Expert Estimation) is a plus
A methodical, detail-focused approach and the ability to manage multiple tenders to deadline
Good commercial instincts when it comes to risk, pricing and subcontractor negotiation
Why this one's worth a look:
Australian owned, with a live and growing substation pipeline (not a one-off role)
Sit within an established Estimating & Bid function, not a lone-wolf setup
Permanent role, based in Sydney
If you've got civil estimating skills and want to put them to work on Australia's HV substation build-out.
