Internal Sales Estimator – Lighting & Control Systems

About Us

Smartscape Connected Lighting Systems is a Brisbane-based company with over 25 years of experience delivering innovative lighting, lighting control and emergency lighting solutions throughout Australia and the South Pacific.

We’ve successfully delivered thousands of projects across the commercial and architectural sectors, building a strong reputation for our technical expertise, quality products and practical solutions.

With continued growth and expansion into new brands and product ranges, we’re looking for another Internal Sales Estimator to join our friendly and experienced team in Albion.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for someone with strong technical aptitude who enjoys problem-solving, learning new technologies and developing practical solutions.

You’ll work with an established flow of project enquiries and tender requests, interpreting electrical drawings and specifications, selecting suitable products and systems, and preparing accurate, competitive quotations.

This is more than simply counting fittings and pricing products. You’ll need to understand how different systems work, evaluate alternative solutions and consider factors such as cost, installation requirements and functionality.

You’ll have the support of our experienced engineering, sales and technical teams, but we’re looking for someone who can learn quickly, show initiative and progressively take ownership of their projects.

The role is predominantly office-based, with opportunities for customer engagement and broader involvement in the business for those interested.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Reviewing electrical drawings, lighting layouts and technical specifications

• Preparing material take-offs, equipment selections and project quotations

• Developing suitable lighting, lighting control and emergency lighting solutions

• Liaising with electrical contractors, wholesalers, engineers and consultants to clarify project requirements

• Managing multiple RFQs and meeting tender deadlines

• Following up quotations and identifying opportunities to offer alternative or additional solutions

• Working closely with our sales and technical teams

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone with a strong technical mindset, excellent problem-solving ability and the confidence to work through complex project requirements.

You may come from estimating, electrical wholesale, internal sales, technical sales or a related electrical industry background. What’s most important is your ability to understand technical concepts, think independently and quickly apply new knowledge.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Strong technical aptitude and the ability to understand how different products and systems work together

• A good understanding of electrical products, systems or the broader electrical industry

• Experience interpreting technical drawings, specifications or project documentation

• The ability to analyse requirements, evaluate options and develop practical solutions

• Excellent attention to detail, organisation and time management

• Confidence with computers and learning new software

• Clear communication skills and a positive, team-oriented attitude

• Initiative, sound judgement and the motivation to continually develop your knowledge

Experience in commercial lighting, emergency lighting, DALI or building automation would be highly regarded, but isn’t essential.

You don’t need to be a qualified electrician or engineer, but you do need to be technically capable, a quick learner and comfortable taking ownership of your work.

Why Join Smartscape?

• Great team environment – Work with a friendly, experienced team who get along well, share knowledge and support each other

• Interesting technical projects – Work with innovative products and systems across a diverse range of commercial projects

• Opportunity to grow – With our expanding product ranges and brands, there’s scope to become involved in product management, new product development and other areas of the business

• Support and independence – Learn from experienced engineers and technical specialists while taking ownership of your work

• Work-life balance – Predominantly office-based, with general office hours of 7am–4pm, Monday to Friday

• Established and growing business – Join a respected company with over 25 years in the industry

• Competitive package – Salary negotiable based on experience, plus superannuation and company bonus opportunities
