Job Description

Build More Than Projects. Build What's Next.

\n

At McConnell Dowell, we're not just delivering infrastructure, we're creating the conditions for communities, industries and economies to thrive.

\n

As we continue to secure and pursue major opportunities across Australia, we're seeking a Senior Estimator to join our team. While pipeline construction experience will be highly regarded, we're equally interested in experienced construction estimators from related infrastructure sectors who are ready to bring their expertise to a business known for delivering complex, technically challenging projects.

\n

This role can be based from any McConnell Dowell office in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth.

\n

The Opportunity

\n

Working closely with operational and engineering teams, you'll play a critical role in developing competitive, well-considered tenders across a diverse portfolio of infrastructure projects. You'll contribute to project strategy from the earliest stages, helping shape winning solutions that balance commercial outcomes, delivery certainty and client expectations.

\n

The role includes preparing cost estimates and tender submissions, analysing technical and commercial documentation, engaging subcontractors and suppliers, conducting risk assessments, and supporting contract negotiations and project handovers.

\n

What We're Looking For

\n

    \n
  • Significant estimating experience within the construction or infrastructure sector.
  • \n
  • Pipeline construction estimating experience highly regarded.
  • \n
  • Strong commercial acumen and analytical costing capability.
  • \n
  • Ability to interpret technical documentation and develop practical delivery methodologies.
  • \n
  • Experience working across multidisciplinary project teams.
  • \n
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • \n
  • Relevant tertiary qualification in engineering, construction management or a related discipline is preferred.
  • \n

\n

Why McConnell Dowell?

\n

At McConnell Dowell, you'll be part of a business that delivers some of the region's most complex infrastructure projects across transport, water, marine, energy and resources.

\n

We offer:

\n

    \n
  • Flexible location across Australia's major capital cities.
  • \n
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • \n
  • Exposure to diverse, high-profile infrastructure opportunities.
  • \n
  • A collaborative and highly experienced pre-contracts team.
  • \n
  • Career development pathways across a growing international contractor.
  • \n
  • The opportunity to contribute to projects that leave a lasting legacy.
  • \n

\n

If you're looking for a role where your expertise directly influences project success and business growth, we'd love to hear from you.

\n

The work you'll do will have a tangible positive impact on people's lives, including yours. The diversity of our projects, roles and locations means greater development opportunities. We invest in our people to set and reach personal and professional goals and we have some of the best mentoring minds in the business to help you do that. Because when you grow, we all grow.

\n

McConnell Dowell actively seeks and celebrates diversity, inclusion, and individuality. In a culture low on ego and high on support, we encourage everyone to make an impact. We're big enough to take on community-shaping projects, but agile enough for you to have an influence on how we do things.

\n

We are an equal opportunity employer. People of all ages, abilities, sexual orientation, gender identities & cultures including Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islanders are strongly encouraged to apply.

\n

Please note all successful applicants must hold valid work rights for Australia and pass a satisfactory pre-employment medical which includes drug and alcohol checks.

\n

This role is being sourced through McConnell Dowell directly and not accepting applications via external recruitment agencies.
