Join a growing civil contractor delivering a solid pipeline of infrastructure and civil works across Geelong, Melbourne and regional Victoria.

This is a key opportunity for an experienced Senior Estimator to take ownership of tenders from initial review through to final submission. You will play an important role in securing upcoming work, supporting tender strategy and working closely with leadership and delivery teams.

  • Strong pipeline of upcoming civil infrastructure work
  • Geelong-based opportunity with long-term career scope
  • Broad mix of civil packages across varied project types
  • Supportive team environment with direct access to decision-makers
The Role

You will lead the estimating process across civil tenders and work closely with internal teams, suppliers and subcontractors to prepare competitive, commercially sound submissions.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing take-offs, BOQs and accurate cost estimates
  • Issuing RFQs and assessing subcontractor and supplier pricing
  • Identifying risks, value engineering opportunities and pricing gaps
  • Supporting methodology, programme input and tender strategy
  • Preparing final submissions and assisting with handover to delivery teams
About You

To be successful in this role, you will bring solid estimating experience within a civil contractor environment and be confident managing tenders with minimal supervision.

You will ideally have:

  • Strong capability across take-offs, pricing and tender submissions
  • Experience pricing packages such as earthworks, drainage, pavements and concrete works
  • Ability to interpret drawings, specifications and commercial documentation

  • Confidence liaising with subcontractors, suppliers and internal stakeholders
The Opportunity

This role will suit someone who enjoys being hands-on, takes pride in producing accurate tenders and wants to be part of a contractor where their contribution is visible and valued.
