Known for their collaborative culture, down-to-earth team, and genuine sense of purpose, they're the kind of company where you can do meaningful work - and enjoy where you do it.

The opportunity
Working closely with the Bid Manager and Director of New Business, this is a senior, hands-on leadership role for an experienced Estimator ready to step up and take ownership. You'll lead the estimating function across a range of commercial and community-focused projects, ensuring accuracy, competitiveness, and consistency in every tender submission.

What you'll do

  • Lead and manage the estimating process from concept through to submission
  • Prepare detailed cost estimates and tender documentation
  • Review and assess drawings, plans, and specifications
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities, risks, and innovative solutions
  • Mentor and guide junior estimators to develop their skills

What you'll bring

  • 5+ years' experience in commercial estimating, ideally with leadership exposure
  • Proven ability to manage end-to-end tender processes
  • Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, and local regulations
  • Proficiency in Cubit, EstimateOne, and Excel
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and analytical skills
  • A proactive, solution-focused mindset and genuine team spirit

Why you'll love it

  • If relocating, enjoy the Byron Bay lifestyle change. Work footsteps from the beach.
  • Gender-equal, tight-knit culture where everyone's voice counts
  • Be part of a fast-growing business, evolving from start-up to Tier 1 commercial player
  • A national leader in modular builds and disaster response projects
  • Real career growth - high performers recognised
  • Supportive, purpose-driven team that values collaboration and initiative
