  • Complete accurate quantity take-offs and trade breakdowns from construction documentation, BIM models, and drawings.
  • Develop clear scopes of work, assumptions registers, exclusions, methodology notes, and tender clarifications.
  • Identify scope gaps, missing information, trade interfaces, and buildability risks during the estimating process.
  • Clearly delineate scope between factory-manufactured and site-based activities.
  • Build and structure estimates within CostX including workbook setup, dimension groups, model mapping, and rate build-ups.
  • Interpret technical specifications, tender documents, and construction drawings aligned with Australian construction standards and NCC requirements.
  • Work collaboratively with Sales, Design, Manufacturing, and Construction teams to develop commercially viable submissions.
  • Engage subcontractors and suppliers to validate pricing and scope coverage.
  • Provide structured estimate handovers to operational delivery teams.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Minimum 5+ years of relevant construction estimating experience within commercial, modular, or head contractor environments.
  • Proven experience independently delivering detailed full-building estimates across all major trades.
  • Advanced CostX proficiency including:
  • workbook setup,
  • dimension group structuring,
  • model mapping,
  • rate build-ups,
  • estimate template creation,
  • and first-principles estimating.
  • Strong understanding of Australian construction methodologies, NCC requirements, trade sequencing, and buildability principles.
  • Ability to independently assess incomplete documentation and determine required scope inclusions.
  • Strong site-based construction experience with practical understanding of construction delivery, subcontractor coordination, and methodology.
  • Demonstrated structured estimating methodology with strong attention to scope completeness and documentation quality.
  • Confident communicator who proactively engages subcontractors, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
  • Strong Autodesk Revit and drawing interpretation capability.
  • Tertiary qualification in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or related discipline.

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.
