Senior Estimator

We are a successful civil contracting business who has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

Our Estimating team plays a pivotal role in setting our projects up for success. With a strong EOI and tender conversion rate, the team works on complex, high-profile opportunities and helps shape the strategies that ultimately become the projects our delivery teams bring to life.

We’re seeking a motivated Civil Estimator to join our team at our Perth head office. In this role you will tender civil engineering projects ranging from small scale million-dollar tenders to large scale billion-dollar major projects.

About the role:

• Prepare accurate tenders for civil construction projects in a timely manner
• Build and maintain positive relationships with clients, subcontractors and suppliers
• Coordinate with suppliers and subcontractors to request quotes and gather pricing for materials, labour and services
• Assist with early‑stage procurement activities on new projects, including managing RFQs in line with tender programs
• Contribute to estimating quantities and costs, identify schedule discrepancies, and ensure timely completion of tender estimates
• Maintain accurate records of correspondence, calculations, and methodologies throughout each tender process

We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate:

• Tertiary qualifications in Civil engineering or similar related qualification
• Demonstrated history of delivering winning tenders within the Civil Construction industry
• Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with colleagues and external stakeholders
• Effective time‑management and multitasking skills, with the ability to meet tight deadlines and handle feedback professionally
• Ability to work effectively both autonomously and as part of a high-performing pre-contracts team

Many of our projects are located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver’s Licence and have their own transport.

We have a range of benefits available for our employee:

• Financial Wellbeing: competitive remuneration, salary continuance insurance and employee share program
• Generous Leave Benefits: purchased leave program, paid parental leave, and birthday leave – have your birthday off on us!
