Estimating & Quoting (Primary Focus)
* Review architectural, structural and engineering drawings for residential foundations and prepare accurate quantity take-offs
* Measure and price the elements of each job, including concrete, reinforcing steel and mesh, insulation or pods, formwork, earthworks and hardfill, and plumbing provisions
* Prepare clear, competitive quotes using pricing
* Keep up with high quote volumes, turning plans around quickly and following up quotes that haven't been accepted
* Raise questions with team and the builder on missing information, unclear drawings or risks, rather than guessing
Pricing, Suppliers & Job Costing
* Gather and compare supplier and subcontractor prices, and keep the pricing database up to date
* Build and maintain estimating spreadsheets and templates, so quotes are consistent and reusable
* Support job costing by handing accepted quotes across to the operations side with complete scope details
Systems & Admin
* Keep quotes, drawings and job files organised in OneDrive and in the construction management platform as it is rolled out (Obstra)
* Help set up and document the quoting process so the estimating function runs smoothly as volume grows
* Handle related admin as needed, with potential to take on lead generation and supplier and subcontractor liaison over time
* Quick to learn, able to pick up pricing and systems within days
* Self-directed and reliable under a high workload, with a habit of double-checking numbers
* Proactive in flagging issues and asking the right questions early
* Organised and methodical, keeping files and quotes easy to find
* Committed to a long-term role that can grow with the business
