Why This Role Exists

RAPID Takeoffs & Estimating is on a mission to change the way construction businesses grow. We’re scaling fast, and we need someone who thrives on challenge, builds relationships naturally, and has the confidence to operate at a high level.

This isn’t a desk-bound job. It’s a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll be driving growth, leading people, and shaping the future direction of the company.

What You’ll Do

As our RAPID Growth Manager, you’ll be trusted with big responsibilities from day one:

Win business – Generate new clients through outreach, site visits, networking, and social media.

Build relationships – Earn respect quickly and become a trusted partner for small and medium construction businesses.

Run the show – Help manage the daily operations, oversee the team, and make sure things get done.

Grow the brand – Contribute to marketing campaigns and represent RAPID in the industry.

Drive results – Keep a sharp eye on KPIs and performance, and report regularly to the Directors.

Think like an owner – Bring proactive ideas and operate with the mindset of someone building a business, not just doing a job.

Who You Are

We’re not after a clock-watcher or a 9–5 mentality. We want someone who’s:

From a construction or trades background (carpentry, roofing, cladding, supervision, project management)

Estimating experience is a must – if you’ve done takeoffs, quoting, or project costing, you’ll stand out immediately

Possibly run their own business or led a team before

An outstanding communicator – likeable, straight-talking, pragmatic

Tech-savvy and comfortable working with systems

Self-driven, ambitious, and proactive — the type of person who makes things happen

Naturally earns trust and respect, especially from other business owners

What You’ll Get

We believe in rewarding people who perform and who grow with us:

Great base salary

Performance-based business opportunity after 12 months (partnership/equity potential)

The freedom to run your role with autonomy — no micromanagement

A long-term career in a fast-growing company with massive upside

Mentorship and learning from some of Australia’s most successful business leaders

The opportunity to get in early and help build something special
