Our client is a boutique residential builder on the NSW South Coast.

For over a decade they’ve built architecturally designed new homes and major renovations across the South Coast, Illawarra and Southern Highlands.

They’re known for doing justice to great design, with detailed craftsmanship and solid construction.

The team is small, young and tight. The office is fun. The work is taken seriously.

They’re ready to grow.

They’re looking for someone to own the front end of the business, from building relationships with architects to pricing work accurately and turning it into clear, winnable quotes.

  • What you’ll do
  • Build strong relationships with architects and designers, and get involved early, from pre-tender through to construction
  • Find, follow up and win the right work
  • Prepare detailed, accurate estimates from architectural drawings and specs
  • Build construction timelines as part of each tender, and keep them visible once jobs are underway
  • Write quotes that clients and architects can actually read and understand
  • Work alongside the Project Manager on variations, cost tracking and keeping jobs on time and on budget
  • What you’ll bring
  • Proven estimating experience on high-end, architecturally designed residential projects
  • Experience working directly with architects through the tender and build
  • A solid grip on margin, cost control and risk
  • Experience building and tracking construction timelines in construction management software
  • Clear, plain writing and confidence in front of clients
  • Quick and capable with technology
  • People like working with you
  • A building, construction management or quantity surveying qualification is a plus, but the right experience matters more.
  • Why this role

This isn’t just an estimating job. You’ll have real ownership, a direct line to the Director, and a genuine pathway into a senior leadership role as the business grows.
