Minor Works - Estimator

About Rogers Construction Group

Rogers Construction Group (RCG) is a privately owned Sydney-based commercial construction company delivering projects across NSW, with offices in Newcastle and Wollongong, and recently expanded into Melbourne.

We specialise in Education, Aged Care & Retirement Living, Social and Government Housing, Government, Industrial, Corporate, and Retail projects up to $20M. Our business is experiencing significant, controlled growth, built on strong client relationships and a reputation for delivering quality outcomes.

Our Minor Works Division focuses on projects in the $250K – $2M range, and we're now hiring a dedicated Estimator — a key hire for this division. We're looking for someone ready to make this role their own, take ownership of the estimating function, and play a genuine part in shaping the success of the Minor Works team.

A minimum of 3-5 years of estimating experience is required for this position.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Minor Works, you'll manage a pipeline of 4–8 live tenders at any time across government, education, aged care, and commercial sectors. This is a hands-on estimating role — you own the pricing from scope review through to submission, with strong support around you including a Bid Coordinator, dedicated program and methodology resources, and the backing of RCG's full estimating team.

Day to day you'll be:

• Liaising directly with clients on tender queries, RFIs, and site inspections — you're comfortable picking up the phone and representing RCG

• Reading and interpreting scope documents, drawings, and specifications

• Conducting and attending site inspections

• Issuing and managing RFQs to subcontractors and suppliers

• Building competitive, well-covered estimates using CostX (or similar)

• Proficiency across multiple estimating software platforms is required for accurate project pricing.

• Preparing pricing schedules and quote submissions for smaller jobs

• Working with the Bid Coordinator on full tender submissions — cover letters, capability statements, and compliant document formatting

• Drawing on program and methodology resources where submissions require a construction program or methodology statement

• Maintaining the tender register and pipeline reporting

• Coordinating with the delivery team post-award on pricing assumptions and handover

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years estimating experience in commercial construction

• Proven experience pricing in the $250K–$2M range

• A natural relationship builder — you're on the phone, you know your subbies, and they pick up when you call

• Confident communicating with clients — whether it's a site inspection, an RFI, or a relationship call, you represent RCG professionally

• Strong subcontractor and supplier network

• Experience in government, education, or aged care sectors highly regarded

• Proficient in CostX (or similar)

• High attention to detail — you check your numbers before they go out the door

• Strong written communication — your submissions read well, not just price well

What's in it for You

• A key role with real ownership — this is not a support position, it's a seat at the table

• Well supported from day one — Bid Coordinator, program and methodology resources, and the full RCG estimating team behind you

• Bella Vista HQ — modern office

• Friday team lunches, annual harbour cruise, quarterly social events

• Direct access to leadership — no layers of bureaucracy

• A company that's growing strategically and taking you with it
