Job summary

Concreteseal, a Queensland family-owned waterproofing company based in Loganholme, seeks a Cadet Estimator & Project Coordinator to support the commercial estimating function. The cadetship starts with measured take-offs and progress toward tender submissions, with involvement in documentation, procurement and site coordination.

No waterproofing experience is required; you should be numerate, detail‑oriented and eager to learn the commercial side.

Qualifications

• Strong numerical and spreadsheet ability.
• Good written English — you'll be corresponding with project managers and contract administrators daily.
• Attention to detail. A missed 200 square metres on a take-off is a real problem.
• The ability to run several tenders and several live jobs at once without dropping either.
• Willingness to say "I don't know" and then go and find out.
• Current Australian driver’s licence.

Responsibilities

• Review architectural and structural drawings, specifications and waterproofing consultant reports.
• Complete measured take-offs from plans — areas, perimeters, penetrations, upturns, junctions.
• Build and maintain bills of quantities for tender submissions.
• Price labour, materials, plant, access and preliminaries against real rates, not guesses.
• Prepare tender submissions, qualifications, exclusions and alternative system proposals.
• Track tender opportunities, submission deadlines, RFIs and addenda.
• Follow up submitted tenders and chase outcomes.
• Review subcontract agreements for scope gaps and pricing risk.
• Sit in on pricing reviews with management to learn how a commercial rate is built.
• Produce and maintain ITPs, QMPs, SWMS and project QA documentation.
• Compile product data sheets, warranties, technical submissions and compliance documentation.
• Maintain project records — sign-offs, inspection records, flood test docs, site photography.
• Prepare and price variations, and get them approved before work starts.
• Keep documentation aligned to AS 3740, AS 4654.1/.2 and NCC.
• Issue scopes of work, job packs and work orders to site crews.
• Coordinate crew allocation, site access, inductions, deliveries and program dates.
• Chase information that holds jobs up — drawings, approvals, preceding trades, sequencing.
• Attend site for measure-ups and progress checks.
• Keep builders informed before they have to ask.
