Job Description

Who is CPP?

CPP is a leading high-voltage infrastructure provider, connecting renewable energy projects to Australia’s electricity grid.

As a member of Quanta Services, a Fortune 500 company ranked #152 on the NYSX, we specialise in the design, construction, commissioning, and maintenance of substations, transmission lines, wind farms, and battery storage systems.

Established in 1996, we’ve connected more wind farms and renewable batteries than any other company. With over 800 employees and offices in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, we partner with Australia’s major transmission providers to deliver innovative, end-to-end solutions.

Join us in shaping the future of energy.

Asset Management Services

CPP’s Asset Management Services (AMS) ensure the reliability and longevity of high-voltage assets. As a key part of our end-to-end service offering, we provide a seamless transition from construction and commissioning to ongoing asset management.

The AMS team delivers critical maintenance, replacement and upgrade projects for Australia's electricity network. Trusted by major utility and infrastructure clients, AMS manages and maintains high-voltage assets throughout their lifecycle, ensuring essential infrastructure remains safe, reliable and ready to meet future demand.

With significant growth underway and an expanding portfolio of projects, there has never been a better time to join AMS and play a key role in shaping the future of a rapidly growing business delivering critical infrastructure across Australia.

The opportunity

Due to a strong pipeline of work, we are seeking an experienced Estimator to join the team and help drive the successful delivery of tenders and quotations ranging from small maintenance works through to complex, high-value electrical infrastructure projects

This is a hands-on estimating role suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership of the entire estimating process.

Working within our Asset Management Services team, you'll prepare estimates and tender submissions across a diverse portfolio of maintenance, replacement and upgrade works. One week you may be pricing a small maintenance package or spare parts quotation, while the next you could be developing a major tender that takes several weeks to complete.

Unlike many estimating roles, we're looking for someone who can independently develop the estimate itself. You'll interpret technical scopes, identify missing information, engage with subject matter experts, benchmark costs, assess risks and build commercially sound submissions that position CPP for success.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make an immediate impact, increase estimating capability within the team and gain exposure to a wide variety of high-voltage and utility projects.

Desired Skills and Experience

To Be Successful In This Role, You Will Possess

• Demonstrated experience developing estimates and tenders within the electrical, utilities, infrastructure or high-voltage sectors.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, terminology and project delivery methodologies.
• Experience independently preparing pricing models and tender submissions
• Ability to interpret technical scopes, challenge assumptions and obtain missing information.
• Strong commercial acumen and attention to detail.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills and confidence working with technical specialists, suppliers and subcontractors

Highly Regarded

• Asset management or operations and maintenance estimating experience.
• Tertiary qualifications in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience with primary and secondary systems, relay panels, control buildings or similar electrical infrastructure.

Be rewarded at CPP.

At CPP, we value our people above all else. We’re dedicated to investing in and developing your talent to help you reach your full potential. By joining us, you’ll have the opportunity to work on industry-leading projects and access the latest technologies. We foster a culture of innovation and welcome fresh ideas – if you're ready to challenge the status quo, we want you to be part of our team.

Benefits Include

• Above-market salary package with annual reviews
• Annual bonus, discretionary based on individual and business performance
• Flexibility to work from home
• Access to study assistance for continuous development, and a strong focus on internal promotions to help you grow within
• 16 weeks paid primary parental leave and 6 weeks paid secondary parental leave
• Up to 2 weeks of purchased leave
• Choice between an iPhone or Samsung mobile
• We actively invest in AI capability, providing access to premium AI subscriptions to help you work smarter, solve complex problems and deliver better outcomes
• On site car-parking
• Generous employee referral program up to $4,000
• Access to an extensive benefits and discounts program with savings at over 400 retailers
