With over 20 years in the industry, an impressive portfolio of projects and an exceptional level of repeat business, this is a company that\'s built its reputation on quality, strong relationships and, most importantly, its people.

And the culture is a big part of what makes this business stand out!

Why You\'ll Love Working Here

• With an average employee tenure of around nine years, it\'s clear this is a business where people genuinely enjoy working and build long-term careers.
• Enjoy regular team get-togethers, social events and celebrations recognising individual and company achievements.
• Be part of a team that enjoys giving back through charity fundraisers, community initiatives and supporting great causes.
• Join a supportive, down-to-earth team where people look out for one another and everyone\'s contribution is valued.
• Work on premium workplace fit-outs, refurbishments and commercial upgrades for leading property groups across Sydney.
• Learn from experienced construction professionals who are happy to share their knowledge and help you develop your estimating career.
• Enjoy the stability of an established business with over 20 years of successful project delivery and long-standing client relationships.
• Conveniently located on Sydney\'s Lower North Shore, just a stone\'s throw from public transport.

Who We\'re Looking For

We\'re looking for an enthusiastic Junior Estimator who enjoys being part of a team, has a great attitude and is keen to continue developing their career.

Ideally, you\'ll have:

• A commercially minded, proactive approach to estimating, with the curiosity to dig deeper, challenge costs, negotiate competitive pricing and identify smarter solutions.
• Experience in estimating, preferably within commercial fit-out, refurbishment or general construction.
• Good numerical skills, attention to detail and a practical understanding of construction.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• Experience using Cubit, CostX, Bluebeam or similar would be advantageous.

Most importantly, we\'re looking for someone who is proactive, personable and genuinely wants to become part of a great team.

What You\'ll Be Doing

Working alongside an experienced construction team, you\'ll be involved in much more than simply preparing estimates. We\'re looking for someone who\'s naturally curious, commercially minded and enjoys digging deeper to find the best solutions.

You\'ll assist with take-offs, tender submissions and subcontractor pricing, while developing your ability to challenge costs, negotiate with suppliers and identify smarter, more competitive ways to deliver projects.

It\'s a great opportunity to build your technical and commercial skills, take on greater responsibility as you develop and contribute to winning some fantastic commercial projects.
