• Estimating & Tendering
o Prepare precise trade takeo s and comprehensive material quantifications using, digital plans diagnostic reports, engineering specifications, and site data.
o Manage tender bids seamlessly from the initial query through to submission deadlines.
o Establish highly detailed scopes of work that clearly break down each project’s unique requirements to eliminate "grey areas" and prevent post-contract variations.
o Utilise software pricing databases validated against live quotes from local Sydney suppliers and subcontractors to maintain strict cost accuracy in line with market trends.
o Conduct rigorous "apples-for-apples" quote comparisons between competing subcontractors to ensure no hidden exclusions exist before awarding contracts.
o Evaluate variations and change orders to ensure profitability stays protected throughout construction.
o Deep understanding of the National Construction Code (NCC) / Building Code of Australia (BCA), and relevant Australian Standards (e.g., AS3740 for waterproofing, AS3600 for concrete, and AS1684 for timber framing).
o Ability to identify and price compliance-related items such as Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) insurance, Council/DA/CDC conditions, and Long Service Levies.
o Proven ability to analyse diagnostic reports and engineering specifications for remedial and renovation works and organise physical site inspections by the Australian team.
o Expertise in estimating demolition, site-preparation, hazardous material handling (e.g., asbestos removal), structural propping, and make-good costs.
o Ability to build a realistic 'contingency framework' into renovation tenders to protect the business from unforeseen structural issues.
o Experience in pricing commercial-grade materials (fire-rated systems, commercial glazing, acoustic requirements) and specialised commercial trades.
o Ability to factor in commercial project overheads, including site-specific Work Health & Safety (WHS) compliance, SWMS (Safe Work Method Statements)
preparation costs, and site allowance expectations if applicable.
o Understanding of commercial contract terms, including liquidated damages, retention sums, and strict variation submission clauses.
o Lead a formal "Pre-Construction Handover" meeting for won projects, ensuring the site delivery team completely understands the budget allocations, margins, and agreed subcontractor scopes.
• Project Coordination & Stakeholder Liaison
o Call and qualify subcontractors to ensure competitive, airtight pricing on every trade package.
o Liaise with trusted suppliers to source high-quality building materials within scheduled timelines.
o Coordinate procurement workflows to guarantee items arrive on-site exactly when needed.
o Monitor live project expenditure against the original estimate during construction, alerting the Owner immediately to any potential budget overruns.
o Conduct a brief post-project financial review to compare estimated and actual costs, capturing data to improve accuracy in future tenders.
o Collaborate directly with the Owner to provide strategic operational support and clear financial transparency.
Note: The responsibilities above represent the full scope of the role. We welcome candidates with a strong estimating background who have experience in several of these areas, even if they have not worked across every specialized estimating function.
Qualifications as an Estimator/Project Coordinator:
• Experience: 4 to 6 years of proven estimating and project coordination experience within the Australian building sector, with a demonstrated track record across residential new builds, extensions/renovations, commercial modifications, and structural remedial works.

• Communication & Negotiation: Flawless written and spoken English with the ability to negotiate firmly and professionally with subcontractors regarding scope exclusions, and articulate variation costs clearly to clients.
• Quality Control & Financial Discipline: Exceptional attention to detail with a hard
rule of checking, verifying and cross-referencing your own takeo s against engineering details before final submission to achieve a zero-variance target.
• Industry Knowledge: Deep understanding of Australian construction methodologies, the National Construction Code (NCC), relevant Australian Standards (waterproofing, structural concrete, timber framing), and Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) requirements for commercial sites.
