ESTIMATOR (FITOUTS)
Sydney > Crows Nest
$90k – $140k + Bonus
Why is this role for me
You’ve always enjoyed the estimating process. You’ve had a taste of it as a cadet or with a subbie and you see it as your future career. Being a manager in the future and leading a team gets you excited and its what you are aiming for.
In this junior role you’d get 1-2-1 training from the manager who has been there 12 years and you’d get support from the team of 8 estimators around you.
They’ve been working there 3-8 years and they enjoy being together so much that they regularly spend time with each other on the weekends – it’s certainly a happy team to join.
Initially you’d focus on retail fitout and refurb projects ranging from $100k – $5million and you’d go to site and regularly meet clients who they already have great relationships with.
You’d get to WFH after your first year and you’d earn a yearly bonus based on your performance. Past employees have earnt $20 – $30k payrises based on how well they have done, if you are good at estimating they will do whatever they can to make sure you stay.
In time you could be the manager of their small works division or even join their new build construction team who deliver jobs in the $20-$100million range.
Starting salary is in the $120-160k package range + a yearly bonus
If you are genuinely interested in estimating and consider yourself a competitive person who is ambitious and motivated then this is a cracking role for you.
Sounds good – what skills do you expect from me?
You certainly don’t need to be the finished article to apply for this role. But there are 5 points that you’d need to tick to be considered
