Job description

A rare remote estimating role in fire protection — purpose-built for someone who knows defects, knows Uptick, and wants to do serious work from the Philippines.

This is not a generalist estimating role. It is a dedicated, end-to-end defect quoting function supporting fire protection maintenance operations in Australia's Northern Territory and South Australia — and it is built for someone who understands what it takes to turn a technician's field findings into an accurate, competitive, and defensible quotation.

THE ROLE

You will own the defect estimating function for two Australian state and territory operations, working directly from Uptick to convert inspection findings, technician reports, asset data, and photographs into finished quotations across the full fire protection system spectrum. This is a high-volume, technically demanding role where accuracy and turnaround speed both matter. The work is real, the scope is defined, and the right person will have an immediate impact on how quickly compliant sites get their remediation priced and moving.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Convert technician-logged defects and inspection findings from Uptick into accurate, competitive, and timely quotations ready for client review.
• Interpret technician reports, photographs, and asset records within Uptick to build pricing for defect rectification works across a range of fire protection systems.
• Manage the defect estimating function end-to-end for Northern Territory and South Australia operations, from initial review through to completed quote.
• Produce quotations covering fire detection and alarm, sprinkler, suppression, hydrant, and portable equipment systems.
• Work to Northern Territory business hours (Australian Central Standard Time) from your remote home office in the Philippines.

WHAT YOU BRING

Proficiency in Uptick — prior hands‑on experience with the platform is strongly preferred, and your familiarity with how defect data is structured within it will set you apart.

Demonstrated estimating experience within fire services, building services, or a closely related trade‑based maintenance environment.

Strong estimating fundamentals and the ability to read and interpret technical field reports with confidence and precision.

A working understanding of fire protection systems including detection and alarm, sprinkler, suppression, hydrant, and portable equipment.

Genuine availability to work Australian Central Standard Time hours on a consistent, full-time basis.

Familiarity with Australian fire compliance and defect rectification standards is a meaningful advantage — candidates with prior exposure to Australian fire protection clients or compliance environments will be prioritised.

WORK ARRANGEMENT

This is a full work‑from‑home role. You will work from your own home office, and you must have a quiet, dedicated workspace and a reliable internet connection to be considered.

WHY STAFF X

Staff X is a certified Great Place to Work employer in the Philippines for multiple consecutive years.

When you join, you receive:

• HMO health insurance
• Dental plan
• Company‑provided laptop or desktop computer
• Free training and professional development policy
• Regular social events and team activities
• Employee wellness program
• Exposure to clients in Australia, the US, and the UK

Staff X offers long‑term, stable employment with genuine career growth.

COMPENSATION

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus the full Staff X benefits package.

COMMITMENT

This is a full‑time, dedicated role.

The client and Staff X invest heavily in onboarding, training, and integrating this person into a long‑term team.

We are looking for someone who is ready to commit fully, not someone exploring a side arrangement, managing multiple clients, or running parallel freelance work. If you are currently freelancing and not ready to step into a single dedicated role, this is not the right opportunity for you. If you have a full‑time job and are looking for a second income, please do not apply. The right person for this role genuinely wants a stable, long‑term career with a single employer who invests in their growth.

This is a permanent position. We hire people we intend to keep for years, not months.
