Ready to take your trade experience in a new direction?

Have you spent years working on the tools and developed a solid understanding of steel fabrication, welding, fitting, engineering or construction? Are you ready to take the next step in your career and put that experience to work in a different way?

Your trade knowledge is valuable – now it's time to build on it.

Wulguru Group is looking for an experienced, practical-minded individual to join our team as an Estimator. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong trade background who is looking to transition from hands-on work into an office-based role, while continuing to use the technical knowledge and industry experience they have built throughout their career.

About the Role

As an Estimator, you will play an important role in assessing project requirements, preparing cost estimates and developing competitive tender submissions for a diverse range of fabrication, engineering and construction projects.

Working closely with our operational teams, project managers, suppliers and clients, you will draw on your practical industry knowledge to understand project requirements, identify what is involved in delivering the work and ensure estimates are accurate, realistic and commercially sound.

You don't necessarily need to have worked as an Estimator before. We are particularly interested in someone who understands the trade, knows how things are made and assembled, can interpret technical drawings and is keen to develop their estimating skills.

What You'll Bring

- A trade qualification or solid hands-on experience in steel fabrication, welding, boilermaking, fitting, engineering or a related industry.





- A sound understanding of fabrication, manufacturing or construction processes.

- The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications and scopes of work.

- An appreciation of labour requirements, materials, equipment, processes and the practical challenges involved in delivering projects.

- Strong numerical skills, attention to detail and a methodical approach.

- Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with different teams.

- A willingness to learn estimating systems, processes and commercial principles.

Previous estimating experience will be highly regarded, but we are equally interested in the right person with the practical trade knowledge, experience and attitude to succeed.

What We Offer

- An opportunity to transition from the tools into a professional estimating career.

- Full-time, stable employment with an established and respected Australian-owned business.

- Competitive remuneration based on experience.

- Exposure to diverse and challenging projects across multiple industries.

- Support, training and development to build your estimating and commercial skills.

- A supportive team environment where your practical experience and contribution are valued.

Make Your Experience Count

You have spent years developing your trade skills, learning how projects come together and understanding what it takes to get the job done. Now you can use that knowledge to help shape projects from the very beginning.

If you're ready to take the next step, bring your trade experience to Wulguru Group and build a new career pathway with us.

We want to hear from you.
