IEPro are working with an established Western Australian civil contractor looking to appoint an experienced Senior Estimator to join their Perth-based team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong background in civil construction estimating who wants to take ownership of tenders while working alongside a genuinely supportive and experienced Estimating Manager.

The business delivers a diverse range of civil infrastructure projects across Western Australia, including earthworks, underground services, roads and associated infrastructure.

You'll be joining a collaborative estimating team where you'll have the opportunity to contribute your experience, work closely with construction personnel and play an important role in securing future projects.

With a market-competitive salary package up to $220k + super, this is a great opportunity for an experienced Senior Estimator looking for a long-term position with a well-established contractor.

The Opportunity

As Senior Estimator, you'll be responsible for preparing and managing tenders across a variety of civil construction projects.

Working closely with the Estimating Manager and construction teams, you'll take responsibility for developing accurate, competitive estimates while considering construction methodology, productivity, programme, risk and commercial outcomes.

This isn't a position where you'll be left to work through complex tenders on your own. You'll have the support of an experienced Estimating Manager who values collaboration, encourages input and understands the importance of a robust estimating team.

You'll have the opportunity to work on a broad range of civil infrastructure packages, contributing to tender strategy, pricing and the continued success of the business.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:





- Prepare and manage first-principles estimates for civil infrastructure projects
- Price earthworks, roadworks, drainage, underground services and associated civil packages
- Review tender documentation, drawings, specifications and contractual requirements
- Undertake detailed quantity take-offs and prepare bills of quantities
- Develop construction methodologies, programmes and productivity assumptions
- Prepare detailed cost estimates including labour, plant, materials and subcontractor pricing
- Identify tender risks, opportunities and potential value engineering solutions
- Liaise with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain competitive quotations
- Prepare tender clarifications, qualifications and submissions
- Work closely with the Estimating Manager to develop competitive tender strategies
- Coordinate tender reviews with construction and management teams
- Support tender handovers to project delivery teams following successful submissions

About You

To succeed, you will bring:

- Significant experience estimating civil construction projects in Australia, ideally 8 years or more
- Strong first-principles estimating experience across earthworks, underground services and roadworks
- Sound understanding of civil construction methodology, plant productivity and project delivery
- Experience preparing and managing tenders from initial review through to submission
- Exposure to MRWA, local government, Defence, resources or other civil infrastructure projects highly regarded




- Experience using Expert Estimator or similar estimating software
- Proficiency with quantity take-off tools such as Bluebeam
- Strong commercial awareness and the ability to identify project risks and opportunities
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative estimating team
- A practical approach to estimating, with a strong understanding of how civil projects are delivered on site

We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced civil estimators who enjoy the technical side of estimating, value working with good people and want to contribute to a business with a strong future.

The Benefits

- A salary package up to $220k + super
- Permanent, Perth-based position
- Work alongside a highly supportive and experienced Estimating Manager
- Collaborative team environment where your experience and input are valued
- Diverse range of tenders across roads, earthworks, underground services and broader civil infrastructure
- Opportunity to take ownership of tenders from start to finish
- Work closely with experienced construction and management teams
- Strong pipeline of civil infrastructure opportunities across Western Australia
- Long-term career development within an established civil contractor
- Opportunity to play an key role in the continued growth of the business
