About the role

You'll run estimating, tendering and business development for the roofing division. That means finding and assessing opportunities, pricing them accurately from first principles, building relationships with builders and clients, and making sure every job we win places the company in a better position than before. You'll report to the Director, help set the division's tender strategy, target markets and annual growth targets, and build the estimating systems and team the division will need as it scales.

Key responsibilities

- Source and qualify tender opportunities through the major portals, including but not limited to EstimateOne, and apply a go/no-go assessment to each one against AABP's target markets, client risk, capacity and margin
- Introduce and develop your established commercial and industrial client relationships, a key focus of the role and its KPIs
- Review tender documentation, drawings, specifications and contract conditions, and flag risks, exclusions and commercial issues early, escalating contract departures and high-risk terms to the Director before submission or acceptance
- Complete detailed and accurate quantity take-offs for metal roofing, wall cladding, roof plumbing, flashings, gutters and stormwater
- Build first principles estimates covering labour, materials, plant, access, height safety and subcontract pricing, using historical job data to sharpen accuracy
- Obtain and assess pricing from suppliers and subcontractors to make sure submissions are competitive and compliant
- Identify and apply cost-saving and value engineering opportunities on every project where possible,



reducing overall cost without compromising quality or integrity and keeping our pricing competitive for clients
- Work closely with our Senior Plumbing Estimator on projects that include both AABP roofing and plumbing, coordinating scope and interfaces so we can offer combined pricing and cost savings under the one AABP banner
- Prepare and submit tenders, scopes of works, commercial proposals and methodologies, with clear inclusions, exclusions and clarifications, that meet client requirements and deadlines
- Attend site meetings and inspections to confirm scope, construction methodology, access and project risks (travel across NSW as needed)
