Job description

AustCorp Executive is partnering with a well-established structural steel fabrication and installation business to recruit an experienced Estimator. If you know steel, love the challenge of pricing a job accurately and want to see your work go from first price to final install, this is a rare opportunity, all without the city traffic.

About the Business

Our client has been fabricating and installing structural steel for nearly 20 years, delivering projects across South East Queensland and Northern NSW. Their steel has gone into some of Brisbane’s best-known commercial and infrastructure projects, as well as hospitals, schools, universities, commercial builds, conveyor galleries, architectural facades and high-end homes. That means real variety, and you won’t be pricing the same work every week.

About the Role

Estimating is the heart of this role. You’ll review drawings and specifications, then prepare accurate estimates, bid packages and proposals that win work. Once a project is won, you’ll stay involved and see it through to completion, working closely with the workshop, the installation manager, subcontractors and clients. Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing drawings and specifications and preparing estimates, bid packages and proposals
• Pricing labour, materials, equipment and subcontractors
• Managing RFIs and variations
• Tracking programs and budgets on awarded projects
• Liaising with the workshop, installation team, subcontractors and clients
• Getting out on site to check progress
