“CREATING AMAZING SPACES TO BE PROUD OF”

At McCormack, we're one of Australia's leading family-owned building services companies, specialising in fit-out and refurbishment, asset repositioning, design and construct, and heritage restoration.

Our success is built on the strength of our people. We are committed to fostering a workplace where team members are supported to grow, contribute, and do their best work. We value collaboration, integrity, innovation, and creating an environment where everyone feels respected and included.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Estimator to join our Preconstruction team in Melbourne.

In this role, you will lead the end-to-end estimation process for commercial construction projects, driving successful tender outcomes, managing project risk and commercial viability, mentoring junior estimators, and contributing to the continued growth and success of the business. You will report directly to the Preconstruction Director.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Lead the preparation, review and submission of accurate and competitive estimates, tender responses, take-offs and project budgets for commercial construction projects.
  • Assess project scope, risks and opportunities, engage with subcontractors and suppliers, manage clarifications, and ensure all tender requirements are met.
  • Mentor and support Estimators and Junior Estimators, support with allocating workloads, conduct team briefings, and contribute to the ongoing development of the estimating team.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers while contributing to continuous improvement initiatives and strategic business growth.

ABOUT YOU

Successful applicants must have:

  • A Diploma of Building & Construction or equivalent qualification.
  • More than five years' experience in commercial construction estimation, with demonstrated success managing complex tenders and project pricing.
  • Strong commercial acumen, exceptional attention to detail, leadership capability, stakeholder management skills, and proficiency in construction estimating systems and Microsoft Office applications.

You must have the right to live and work in Australia to be considered for this position. Applications generated or assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) will not be accepted.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
