Our client is a boutique residential builder on the NSW South Coast. For over a decade they’ve built architecturally designed current homes and major renovations across the South Coast, Illawarra and Southern Highlands. They’re known for doing justice to outstanding design, with detailed craftsmanship and solid construction.

The team is small, young and tight. The office is fun. The work is taken seriously.

They’re ready to grow. They’re looking for someone to own the front end of the business, from building relationships with architects to pricing work accurately and turning it into clear, winnable quotes.

What you’ll do
Build strong relationships with architects and designers, and get involved early, from pre-tender through to construction
Find, follow up and win the right work
Prepare detailed, accurate estimates from architectural drawings and specs
Build construction timelines as part of each tender, and keep them visible once jobs are underway
Write quotes that clients and architects can actually read and understand
Work alongside the Project Manager on variations, cost tracking and keeping jobs on time and on budget

What you’ll bring




Proven estimating experience on high-end, architecturally designed residential projects
Experience working directly with architects through the tender and build
A solid grip on margin, cost control and risk
Experience building and tracking construction timelines in construction management software
Explicit, plain writing and confidence in front of clients
Quick and capable with technology
People like working with you

A building, construction management or quantity surveying qualification is a plus, but the right experience matters more.

Why this role
