Who We Are

At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be formally employed through an Employer of Record (EOR) arrangement. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you’ll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is

Our client is an Australian electrical contracting company specialising in high-end residential projects. They work with builders and homeowners to deliver electrical installations, smart home automation, security systems and integrated audio-visual solutions for luxury homes. Their projects involve everything from initial estimating and tender preparation through to construction, with a strong focus on accurate pricing, detailed documentation and quality project delivery.

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Senior Electrical Estimator with a background in Australian electrical contracting, particularly in high-end residential projects. You will prepare accurate, submission-ready quotes and tenders covering electrical installations and smart home systems, review drawings and specifications, identify scope changes, and prepare detailed variations. You’ll ensure estimates are comprehensive and require minimal revisions before final submission.

Key Responsibilities

• Review architectural, electrical and construction drawings, specifications and tender documents to determine project scope and identify discrepancies.
• Prepare accurate, detailed and submission-ready quotes and tenders for high-end residential electrical projects, including labour, materials and specialist systems such as alarms, CCTV, access control, intercoms, audio-visual systems, home cinemas and smart home automation.
• Complete digital take-offs and plan mark-ups, including preparing drawings and detailed information for site crews.
• Review drawings from tender through to construction, identify scope changes and prepare comprehensive variation quotes.
• Coordinate with the client, builders and suppliers to clarify requirements, obtain pricing and resolve estimating queries.
• Maintain clear cost breakdowns, assumptions, exclusions and supporting documentation to ensure smooth project handovers.

Requirements

• Must have 5+ years of experience in electrical estimating, including senior-level responsibilities, with prior experience working on Australian electrical projects.
• Understanding of Australian electrical installations, materials, labour costs and estimating practices.
• Experience estimating specialist systems, including security, CCTV, access control, intercoms, audio-visual systems, home cinemas and smart home automation, ideally including Crestron and Control4.
• Proficiency in Groundplan for digital take-offs and plan mark-ups, as well as Ascora and Google Drive.
• Familiarity with AI tools for estimating, document review and improving workflow efficiency.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to prepare professional, client-ready quotes and communicate effectively with Australian stakeholders.
• Experience identifying scope gaps and preparing variations throughout the construction process.
• Strong attention to detail, commercial awareness and the ability to deliver accurate, submission-ready estimates with minimal supervision and revisions.
