Job Type: Full-time An prospect for an experienced Senior Estimator to join an established Sydney head contractor with a robust pipeline of upcoming work and a well-resourced pre-construction team.

This isn't a role where you'll be buried in a large estimating department. You'll work directly with the Director, alongside two experienced Estimators, with a Junior Estimator also being added to the team.

You'll have genuine ownership of tenders, input into bid strategy and the opportunity to play a key role in how the business secures its next stage of projects.

The Prospect
Take ownership of tenders from initial review through to submission
Work directly with the Director on bid strategy, risk and commercial positioning
Lead tender planning, trade letting strategy, scopes and subcontractor engagement
Review pricing, identify risk and value-engineering opportunities
Build and maintain strong relationships across the subcontractor market
Mentor and support less experienced members of the estimating team
Work closely with construction teams to ensure solid handover from tender through to delivery




Be part of a business with an established pipeline and continued growth plans

About You

You'll ideally bring:
Strong experience as an Estimator / Senior Estimator with a head contractor
Proven experience independently managing competitive tenders
Solid understanding of construction methodology, buildability and commercial risk
Established subcontractor relationships across the Sydney market
Confident communication and negotiation skills
Ability to work autonomously while contributing to the broader estimating team

Why Consider It?

The attraction here is the level of influence you'll have.

You'll be joining a lean, experienced team where you're close to the decision-making, have direct access to the Director and can genuinely influence which projects the business pursues and how they're priced.

For someone looking for more ownership, visibility and progression without moving into a highly corporate estimating environment, it's a strong opportunity.
