Job description

Taylor creates the spaces people rely on, for our clients, our communities, and our people. For over 30 years we've delivered construction and property outcomes across health, education, living, commercial, community and data centre sectors.

Our people bring knowledge and care, our thinking is design-led and curious, and our partnerships are built on collaboration and trust. Made to Matter.

The role

We are seeking a Senior Estimator to join our collaborative and dynamic team. Working across a diverse range of construction tenders for medium to large complex projects, this is a leadership role supporting the Estimating Manager, with a strong emphasis on tender strategy, technical review of subcontract and supplier quotations, and mentoring within the estimating team.

About you

You will hold a degree qualification in an industry-specific discipline and have a minimum of 5 years estimating experience (or 10 years' experience in a relevant industry role suitable for transition into senior estimating). You will be able to demonstrate strong subcontractor market coverage, build up costs from first principles, and manage multiple projects concurrently in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities and Capabilities

  • Develop tender strategies and secure competitive tenders and bids using current market costing and historical data.
  • Accept responsibility for the financial and technical review of tenders, including evaluation of sub-contract and supplier quotations.
  • Review tender estimates prior to formal Tender Review and report on price competitiveness.
  • Compile risk and opportunity assessments, considering logistics, trade buying and market impacts on labour and material costs.
  • Organise and lead tender price meetings, including preliminaries, trades, initial close and final close.
  • Monitor cost plans as design evolves, obtaining engineering consultant and subcontract assessments throughout.
  • Attend contract review with Senior Executives and lead project start-up meetings.
  • Support the attraction and development of estimating team talent, sharing skills and expertise across the team.
  • Develop strong working relationships with clients and consultants to identify future tender opportunities.
  • Engage in post-tender clarifications and reviews to ensure pricing accuracy.

Why Taylor

Taylor is built for people who want the work to matter. People stay because we work as one. The projects are considered, complex and varied, giving our team real opportunities to excel. We invest in people at every stage of their career, deliberately and for the long term. Because a business that gets better is one that genuinely invests in its people.

We are focused on creating equal opportunities for everyone, supporting work/life balance, and understand the importance of wellbeing. We provide wellbeing days off, training & development programs, professional membership assistance and much more.
