Construction Estimator

If you've spent years on site as a carpenter or builder before moving into estimating, this is an opportunity to join a team that values your experience and knowledge and has a long secure pipeline of interesting commercial projects.

We are looking for a full time estimator who understands how things are constructed, as well as the numbers.

Base Design & Construct delivers commercial design and construct projects throughout the east coast of Australia for a loyal base of repeat clients. Because our work comes through long term relationships and referrals, you'll focus on producing quality estimates rather than constantly chasing tenders.  

Working from our Woolloongabba office alongside our Managing Director, designers and construction team, you'll prepare estimates from concept through to tender, complete detailed quantity take offs, obtain subcontractor and supplier pricing, build project budgets and occasionally visit site to verify scope and measurements.

You might be a carpenter, builder or site supervisor who has moved into estimating, or an experienced estimator with a strong construction background. Experience across commercial construction or residential estimating experience will be valued. What matters most is practical building knowledge and the ability to produce accurate, commercially sound estimates in a fast paced design & construct environment.

You'll bring:

• Estimating experience within the construction industry.
• Strong quantity take off and procurement skills.
• The ability to interpret drawings and identify construction risks.
• An openness to new technology that will make the number crunching part easier.
• Agility and pace – the design & construct environment is fast and responsive.
• Permanent full time availability and Australian residency / citizenship

Why Base Design & Construct?

We're a close knit, respectful team that genuinely enjoys working together and can have a good laugh in between the hard stuff that we tackle as a team each day. Our values are built around trust, respect, inclusion and gratitude, and we back that up with a stable workload, strong pipeline of work and long term permanent employment where people are valued.

If you're ready to step into a senior estimating role where your construction knowledge is genuinely valued, we'd like to hear from you.
