Senior Estimator

26d ago , from BildGroup Services Pty Ltd

BildGroup is hiring a Senior Estimator into our Infrastructure team at Campbellfield. This role sits across energy and defence work rather than straight roads and bridges, and you will be pricing into Queensland and South Australia as well as Victoria. Reporting to the General Manager, Infrastructure, you own the commercial position on the bid, not just the numbers underneath it.

What you will be doing

• Lead estimates on energy and defence civil packages, building rates up from first principles
• Set the commercial position on the bid, covering risk, opportunity, margin and cash flow, and put it to the General Manager, Infrastructure
• Build and work supplier and subcontractor markets in Queensland and South Australia so we price off real numbers, not placeholders
• Work with delivery and plant on methodology, programme and production rates before the number is committed
• Stay with the estimate through award and handover so the delivery team starts on a budget that holds

What you will need

• Senior estimating experience on civil infrastructure, including energy, defence or comparable work on secured or heavily specified sites
• Commercial depth. You can price risk, read a contract, scope a subcontract package and defend a margin under pressure
• Working knowledge of supplier and subcontractor markets in Queensland, South Australia or both
• The ability to build rates from first principles, including take-off and mark-up in Bluebeam
• A civil engineering or construction management qualification, a trade background, or equivalent estimating experience

Useful, but not essential

Experience with AS 4000 or AS 4902 contract frameworks, defence estate or base infrastructure work, or renewables and grid connection packages.

What you can expect

• Permanent full time, office based at Campbellfield
• Work across the Infrastructure division's tenders in more than one state, rather than sitting on a single sector
• The commercial call on the bid sits with you and the General Manager, Infrastructure, not three levels above you
• Income protection and an Employee Assistance Program for you and your family
• BildUp, our online learning platform, plus the Bild Leadership Program and our employee referral program
• You'll belong from day one. We invest in genuine connection, inclusion, and gender diversity so every person on the team feels at home.
• Your safety and wellbeing matter to us. From income protection to an Employee Assistance Program, we make sure you and your family have real support behind you.
• We back your growth. Through our learning platform, leadership programs, and referral rewards, there's always a next step available if you want it.
• We do work that matters beyond the worksite. Volunteering, community partnerships, and our internal innovation initiative b.hive connect you to impact that goes further than the job.
