Junior Estimator

Job description



Your New Company

You’ll be joining a well‑regarded residential construction business known for its strong reputation in Brisbane, with a great team culture. You’ll be part of a business that’s structured, organised, and backed by systems you can count on. A commitment to developing junior talent. As a junior estimator, you’ll be stepping into an environment that values precision, collaboration, and long‑term growth.

Your New Role

You will assist in preparing detailed and accurate cost estimates for residential projects. Working closely with project teams, you’ll review plans, complete take‑offs, source supplier pricing, update cost databases, and help ensure estimates align with project requirements. This role provides hands‑on learning, exposure to a variety of builds, and a strong foundation for progressing your estimating career. If you’d like, I can expand on estimating workflows.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • Construction estimating knowledge gained through studies or early industry experience.
  • Strong attention to detail and confidence working with numbers and technical documentation.
  • Good communication skills to liaise with suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams.
  • A willingness to learn, take direction, and grow within a structured and supportive environment.
  • Basic understanding of residential construction plans and terminology.

What You’ll Get in Return

You’ll join a respected residential builder offering ongoing training, structured development pathways, and opportunities to advance your career. You’ll also have access to work‑from‑home flexibility of up to five days per week, supporting a healthy balance between focused estimating work and time on site when required. You’ll work within a stable, well‑organised team that values accuracy, professional growth, and high‑quality project outcomes. If you’d like, I can tailor this ad further for different candidate profiles.
