Position : Estimator and Production Administrator

Salary : 1,900 AUD (Php 75,000 - 81,000)

Working Hours & Conditions : Monday to Friday AU Business Hours

ROLE OVERVIEW:

This is a hybrid role focused primarily on estimating, quotation preparation and professional sales proposals.

Approximately 75% of the role will involve estimating, including preparing detailed cost estimates, obtaining supplier pricing, creating client quotations and sales proposals, and compiling tender submissions for custom exhibition stands and branded environments.

The remaining 25% will involve production and office administration, supporting the team with purchasing, supplier coordination, project documentation, logistics and general administration for current and upcoming projects.

You will work directly with company Designers to understand and accurately cost each creative concept. You will also work closely with and report to our Producers, who manage client communication and project delivery on behalf of the team, as well as the Managing Director.

Together, you will ensure every proposal is accurate, commercially considered, clearly documented and ready for successful production.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in commercial joinery, shopfitting, exhibitions, signage or interior fit-outs who understand custom fabrication, construction materials, supplier pricing and the practical requirements of turning drawings into accurate build costs.

This role requires someone who can work independently, take ownership of their responsibilities and complete accurate work within urgent project deadlines.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Calculate material quantities, labour, fabrication, installation, transport, equipment and subcontractor costs.

  • Maintain current supplier rates, material pricing and estimating records.
  • Review project costs against approved budgets and assist with identifying cost-saving opportunities.
  • Manage multiple quotations and sales proposals while responding effectively to changing priorities and urgent deadlines.

Production and Office Administration – 25%

  • Support Producers with supplier coordination, purchase orders, project documentation, logistics, budgets and production administration.
  • Work with Designers and Producers to ensure approved finishes, materials, graphics, equipment and construction requirements are accurately ordered and documented.
  • Prepare purchase orders and assist with ordering materials, graphics, equipment and outsourced production.
  • Coordinate supplier quotations, approvals and order confirmations.
  • Maintain project folders, supplier records, production documents and job information.
  • Assist with production schedules, project timelines and delivery deadlines.
  • Assist with freight bookings, deliveries, couriers and project logistics.
  • Track supplier quotations, approvals, outstanding information, production requirements and project deadlines.
  • Assist with organizing project costs, supplier invoices and job records in Xero.
  • Update CRM records, client information, opportunities and sales follow-ups as required.
  • Maintain accurate internal records so the Design and Production teams have access to current pricing, documentation and project information.
  • Communicate professionally with suppliers, contractors and internal team members, while Producers retain primary responsibility for client management and project delivery.
  • Provide regular updates to the Producers and Managing Director regarding quotation progress, supplier pricing, project costs, deadlines and commercial risks.
  • Prioritize quotations, proposals and administrative tasks in consultation with the Producers and Managing Director.
  • Support the wider team with estimating, production and office administration as required.
