About the Business:
We are partnering with one of Sydney’s fastest-growing Remedial Contractors as they scale from an established Tier-3 specialist into full Tier-2 operations. Backed by a strong multi-year pipeline of secured projects and high client retention, this business has built an exceptional reputation for delivering complex structural rectifications, building refurbishments, and high-end remedial builds across Sydney.
With rapid business expansion comes genuine opportunity. They offer a highly collaborative environment, exceptional workplace retention, and a clear strategic path for professional growth.
The Opportunity:
Reporting directly to the Estimating Manager, you will join a dedicated, high-performing estimating division. In this role, you will take ownership of end-to-end hard tenders for high-value remedial projects ranging from $3M to $15M.
Beyond winning projects, you will play an influential leadership role within the pre-construction team, mentoring junior and intermediate estimators, refining measurement processes, and actively building relationships with key clients, superintendents, and consultants across the remedial sector.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Hard Tendering: Lead lump-sum, D&C;, and competitive tenders from initial site scoping through to contract award.
- Cost Planning & First-Principles Estimating: Build precise, airtight BOQs and cost plans for complex concrete spall, waterproofing, facade, and structural repair scopes.
- Team Development & Mentorship: Guide, train, and develop junior estimators under the direction of the Estimating Manager to build internal division capability.
- Client & Consultant Engagement:
Leverage existing industry networks to liaise with Engineers, Strata Managers, Project Managers, and Superintendents.
- Subcontractor Management: Package trade scopes, evaluate quotes, and negotiate competitive pricing with specialized remedial subcontractors.
What We Are Looking For
- Remedial Estimating Expertise: Strong background in remedial estimating—either currently operating as a Senior Estimator or an experienced Estimator ready to step up.
- Proven Track Record: Demonstrable success in pricing and winning hard tenders on projects valued between $3M and $15M.
- Client Portfolio / Network: Strong relationships within the Sydney remedial, strata, or consulting space are highly regarded.
- Technical Mastery: Deep understanding of measurement frameworks, first-principles estimating, site scoping, and digital estimating software (e.g., Cubit, CostX, Buildsoft).
- Leadership Attributes: Passionate about mentoring junior staff and driving high-quality tender outputs.
What’s on Offer?
- Competitive Salary: $140,000 – $180,000 Base + Super (tailored to experience and track record).
- Vehicle Package: Fully maintained company car or generous vehicle allowance.
- Growth Platform: Join a business on a direct trajectory from Tier-3 to Tier-2 status, opening future leadership pathways.
- Strong Pipeline & Stability: Work with an established builder holding great client retention and long-term project backlogs.
- Outstanding Culture: Cooperative office atmosphere, supportive management, and great employee perks.
