Key Responsibilities

- Estimate Quality Audits: Review estimators’ estimates before client release, confirming accuracy and completeness. Verify quantities, measurements, rates, labour allowances, trade breakdowns, preliminaries, and margins. Ensure scopes align with damage, site findings, and repair strategies while flagging over/under-scoping or pricing anomalies.
- Building Assessment Report Audits: Review reports for structure, technical accuracy, and professional presentation. Ensure the cause of damage, observations, photos, and evidence clearly support the conclusions and match the accompanying estimate. Check compliance with NCC/BCA, Australian Standards, and client templates.
- Estimating Support: Assist estimators with preparing,



reviewing, or amending estimates for complex or high-value claims. Provide guidance on scoping and pricing, and support the team during peak periods and catastrophe (CAT) events.
- Quality Systems & Continuous Improvement: Maintain an audit register tracking reviewed documents, issues found, and turnaround times. Identify recurring error trends to report to management, contribute to checklist/rate library developments, and help coach estimators to improve first-time-right quality.

About You:

- Minimum 3 years’ experience in insurance building, ideally within estimating, assessing or scoping.
- Strong understanding of residential construction, building reports, estimating principles and trade pricing.
- Confident interpreting plans, scopes of works, photos and site notes.
- Excellent attention to detail, communication skills and ability to manage competing priorities.
- Experience with estimating software such as Xactimate, Buildsoft or insurer portals is highly regarded.
- Building qualifications, knowledge of Australian Standards or previous quality auditing experience will be advantageous.
- A team-oriented, organised approach with the confidence to provide constructive feedback and take ownership of quality.
