• 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.

• 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.
