  • Workload Management: Balance day-to-day estimating and detailing tasks efficiently to meet established project deadlines.
  • Internal Communication: Liaise clearly in English with internal team members, the Team Leader, and factory/production departments to clarify design and material requirements (external communication with clients and suppliers is handled by the Team Leader).
  • Systems & Documentation: Maintain meticulous digital records, software data, and required administrative or safety documentation.

Requirements

  • Education & Credentials: A Tertiary Degree or Diploma in Architecture, Draughting, Building Construction, Quantity Surveying, or equivalent practical hands-on industry experience.
  • Estimating Expertise: Proven background in performing plan take-offs and estimating timber components and framing requirements.
  • Technical Aptitude: Strong proficiency in reading architectural plans and foundational exposure to MiTek, Pryda, or similar structural software.
  • Language Proficiency: Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.

Preferred

  • Problem-Solving & Judgment: Practical judgment and proactive problem-solving abilities when interpreting plans and technical data.

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.
