Are you an experienced Estimator looking to join a well-established, forward-thinking construction and fitout company with a strong reputation for excellence in project delivery? We’re working with a highly regarded Perth-based commercial builder known for its collaborative culture, hands-on leadership team, and track record delivering complex fitouts, refurbishments, and new builds across education, health, science, and government sectors. This company is selective about the projects it takes on, prioritising quality, client relationships, and a supportive internal culture over volume. With project values typically ranging from $350k to $2.5M—and the occasional bespoke project up to $20M—you’ll be joining a team that values precision, professionalism, and trust. The role plays a crucial part in the pre-construction process and directly contributes to winning work and setting projects up for success. If you have local estimating experience, a deep understanding of the WA construction market, and are ready to step into a dynamic role where your input is valued and your skills respected—this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

What you'll be doing:

  • Prepare Accurate and Competitive Tenders – Interpret plans and specifications, complete quantity take-offs, and compile clear and compliant tender submissions
  • Conduct Supplier & Subcontractor Liaison – Obtain and negotiate quotes, analyse pricing, and coordinate builder’s works and trade packages
  • Support Pre-Construction Planning – Collaborate with Project Managers to develop delivery methodologies, identify risks, and attend site inspections
  • Drive Procurement Processes – Coordinate RFT packages, assist with supplier selection, and support tender award handovers to the delivery team
  • Manage Estimating Workflows – Oversee multiple tenders concurrently, maintain cost databases, and track submission outcomes and profitability
  • Promote Company Values & Relationships – Uphold TPS's reputation through professional conduct, strong stakeholder relationships, and proactive client engagement

What you'll need:

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in a similar role within Australia, ideally Western Australia
  • Ability to interpret architectural drawings, specifications, and scope documents
  • Proficient in quantity take-offs, cost estimation, and applying construction methodology
  • Understanding of local suppliers, contractors, and market conditions in WA
  • Highly Developed Communication and Relationship Skills
  • Commercial Acumen and Attention to Detail
  • Experience managing the full tender lifecycle: from site inspections and RFIs to final submission and post-tender clarification
  • Software Proficiency and Documentation Skills

What's in it for you:

  • Enjoy a permanent, Monday-to-Friday role based in Belmont with a supportive, flexible, and collaborative culture that values your time and input
  • Be part of a well-established, reputable company with a consistent flow of diverse commercial construction and fitout projects ranging from $350K to $20M
  • Work directly with Directors and senior stakeholders on key decisions, with your input shaping tender success and project direction
  • Long-term opportunity to grow with the business, contribute to its evolution, and be involved in succession planning for future leadership
  • Enjoy the freedom to own and lead tender processes while being backed by an experienced Estimating & Procurement support team
  • Attractive salary based on experience, with a weekly pay cycle and stable employment in a thriving, WA-focused business
