Senior Estimator – Signage / Construction in Sydney

Do you have some estimation or related experience but starting to wonder where your current role actually takes you? Are you still doing the same estimates and tenders you were doing two years ago, with no real pathway into leadership? Do you want to work on bigger, more interesting projects with Tier 1 builders and developers? And would you rather work somewhere collaborative, where you can learn from great people and ultimately build and lead your own team? If you're answering yes, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

THE COMPANY

Join the market leader in commercial signage and fit-out, delivering major internal and external signage programs across Australia's construction industry. Established for 20+ years, with 50+ staff, this is a business with the reputation, clients and project pipeline that gives you the opportunity to work on genuinely interesting projects. You'll be surrounded by some of the best people in the industry, working with major builders, developers and commercial clients on projects that will actually add something to your CV. This isn't somewhere you come to simply estimate more jobs.

THE ROLE

This is a Senior Estimator opportunity with a clear difference: They want someone who can grow into leadership. You'll initially take ownership of estimating and tendering across medium to large-scale signage programs, working closely with the Head of Sales, Account Managers, suppliers and internal teams. You'll:

• Produce detailed estimates and quotes across major signage projects
• Interpret construction drawings, plans, schedules and specifications
• Work closely with suppliers to establish accurate costs and solutions
• Support major tender submissions for Tier 1 builders and developers
• Manage multiple tenders and quoting opportunities simultaneously
• Ensure pricing is accurate, commercially competitive and delivered on time
• Help improve estimating processes, supplier intelligence and the overall function

But the longer-term opportunity is the exciting part.

YOU'VE MASTERED ESTIMATING. WHAT'S NEXT?

The business doesn't just want another estimator sitting behind a desk producing quotes. They want someone who can become a senior figure within the estimating function and progress into managing a team. So if you've reached the point where you're confident technically but your current company doesn't have anywhere for you to go, this gives you a genuine next step.

WHY THIS IS A GREAT CAREER MOVE

This is the big one. You're joining with the opportunity to progress beyond being an individual contributor and ultimately lead and develop an estimating team. Estimate medium and large-scale signage programs for some of Australia's leading builders and developers.

Market-Leading Brand

You're joining an established business with 20+ years of history, a strong reputation and the scale to consistently compete for major work. Work closely with an experienced Head of Sales, Account Management team and specialists who understand the industry.

Interesting, Complex Work

You'll be across construction drawings, manufacturing, installation, suppliers, tender strategy and commercial pricing rather than simply pumping out basic quotes. Join a team that works together, enjoys coming to work and shares a common purpose rather than operating in silos.

Real Flexibility

Work for a business that trusts its people and offers genuine flexibility rather than an old-school approach to how work gets done.

ABOUT YOU

You'll ideally have strong estimating experience across signage, construction, fabrication, fit-out or a closely related project environment. Signage knowledge will be highly regarded, particularly an understanding of manufacturing, installation, materials and project costing.
