Vectura Recruitment is partnering with an established insurance building business with a strong Queensland presence to appoint an Insurance Building Estimator / Supervisors in Townsville. These are priority appointments. The role is ideally suited to someone from an insurance building, restoration or claims repair background.

Key Responsibilities

- Attend scheduled insurance inspections, assessing cause and resulting damage in occupied homes.
- Prepare accurate, line-by-line scopes of works and costings to insurer requirements, using mobile estimating tools in the field.
- Coordinate make-safes and emergency works where homes are not secure or weathertight.
- Supervise approved claims to completion as the QBCC-licensed supervisor, managing local subcontract trades.
- Control cost and variations, delivering quality repairs that meet NCC, QBCC and WHS requirements.
- Keep policyholders, assessors and your Construction Manager updated through the claim lifecycle.

Skills & Experience

- Insurance building background: ideally, you will have estimated and supervised residential insurance repairs with an insurance builder, restoration or claims repair business.
- Claim experience: storm, water ingress, flood and impact claims, including make-safes, strip-outs and reinstatement.




- Qualifications: Certificate IV in Building and Construction, plus a QBCC builder or site supervisor licence (or eligible to obtain).
- Technology: confident scoping and quoting on mobile devices across several claims and job-management platforms.
- Compliance: White Card, driver licence, First Aid, National Police Check and pre-employment medical.
- Highly regarded: catastrophe (CAT) event experience alongside business-as-usual claims.
- Highly regarded: carpentry or similar trade background, with water damage, mould and asbestos awareness.
- Highly regarded: cyclone region repairs (roof, tie-down, windows to wind rating) and an existing Townsville trade network.

The Opportunity You enjoy splitting your week between estimating and running jobs on site, you are used to working with homeowners after storm or water damage rather than on new builds or commercial projects, and you are as comfortable on a tablet as you are on the tools. Join an established business with a steady pipeline of work, up-to-date mobile estimating systems and genuine scope to progress. An attractive package is on offer, including a company vehicle and performance incentives.
