The posting

At Richard Crookes Constructions (RCC), we’ve earned a reputation for delivering high-quality projects with certainty. As our business continues to grow, we’re focused on meeting and exceeding the expectations of our clients and industry stakeholders.

We’re committed to building strong, long-term partnerships, and to achieve this, we need the very best construction talent to help us lead major projects.

Why Join RCC?

  • Major Project Opportunities: Be part of landmark projects that will shape the future of the industry.
  • Career Growth & Development: Access continuous training and development opportunities to elevate your career.
  • Family Values: We prioritise a supportive and inclusive culture that values the individual and promotes well-being.
  • A Thriving Business: Join a growing company with a strong portfolio, industry momentum, and long-term career potential.

Bring your commercial thinking, construction knowledge and eye for detail to RCC.

Good cost planning helps turn a design into a project that can be delivered. It takes curiosity, sound judgement and the confidence to ask questions, explore alternatives and work closely with the people around you.

We’re looking for an Estimator / Cost Planner to join RCC, helping shape project budgets and providing practical cost advice throughout planning and design.

If you’ve built a solid foundation in estimating, cost planning or quantity surveying and are ready to bring that experience to a collaborative team, we’d love to hear from you.

The opportunity

Working with our project teams, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers, you’ll develop detailed estimates, assess cost risks and identify opportunities to achieve better value.

Your role will include:

  • Preparing cost estimates covering materials, labour, equipment and overheads.
  • Reviewing project requirements, drawings and specifications, and completing quantity take-offs.
  • Developing budgets and supporting forecasts through analysis of cost trends and potential variations.
  • Working with procurement teams, subcontractors and suppliers to obtain and assess pricing.
  • Identifying cost risks and recommending practical ways to manage them.
  • Exploring alternative materials, construction methods and design options to improve value while maintaining quality.
  • Preparing clear cost reports and communicating recommendations to project teams and stakeholders.
  • Building cost benchmarks and contributing ideas to improve our estimating and cost planning processes.

What you’ll bring

You’ll ideally have three to five years’ experience in estimating, cost planning or quantity surveying, supported by a degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management or a related discipline.

We’re also looking for:

  • A sound understanding of construction methods, materials and how projects come together.
  • Experience across a range of project types, such as commercial, residential or infrastructure.
  • Knowledge of building contracts, procurement processes and relevant industry requirements.
  • Strong analytical skills and a thorough, organised approach.
  • The ability to explain your thinking clearly and build productive working relationships.
  • A willingness to share ideas, ask questions and keep developing your knowledge.

Just as importantly, you’ll be someone who takes pride in their work, follows through on commitments and enjoys contributing to a team.

Why RCC?

The work matters, and so do the people you do it with.

Across seven business units in NSW, ACT and Queensland, we work across 12 industry sectors and more than 40 projects at any one time. That variety creates opportunities to broaden your experience and keep learning.

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.
