Title:

Lead Estimator

Make your mark on a project that matters – with a team that values you.

At KBR, we know that great outcomes start with great people. That’s why we’re looking for a passionate and experienced Lead Estimator who’s ready to take ownership of a major resources and mining project in South Australia. This project includes significant scopes across copper, minerals, mine infrastructure, and process plant development—making it a career-defining opportunity for the right candidate.

If you thrive in a collaborative environment, enjoy solving complex challenges, and want to be part of a team that genuinely supports and values its people—this is your opportunity to lead with impact.

About the Role:

This is a senior role within our PMO team, responsible for leading estimating efforts across complex scopes including copper processing, mineral handling, mine infrastructure, and process plant construction. You’ll work closely with delivery teams, clients, and partners to ensure cost transparency and strategic alignment throughout the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the estimating function for a major resources project, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and strategic alignment.
Oversee first-principles reviews of contractor cost estimates.
Validate methodology, risk & opportunity, and schedule against client and regulatory requirements.
Provide expert recommendations on contractor awards and cost adjustments.
Engage with internal teams, client stakeholders, and delivery partners to confirm value assurance outcomes.
Manage estimating workflows, resource allocation, and approvals across multiple project phases.
Develop and review cost estimates across AACEI classifications (Class 5 to Class 2).
Interpret technical specifications and standards to assess cost implications.
Lead the preparation and assessment of subcontractor and supplier quotations.
Deliver high-quality tender handovers, including development of Basis of Estimates documentation.
Drive continuous improvement in estimating tools, templates, and methodologies.
Facilitate the change management and trending process via estimating data and expert advice.

Skills & Experience Required:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).
Extensive experience in estimating for resources, mining, or minerals processing projects, ideally in a lead or senior capacity.
Strong leadership skills with the ability to mentor junior estimators and coordinate cross-functional teams.
Deep understanding of copper and mineral processing, mine infrastructure, and process plant construction.
Proficiency with estimating software.
Strategic thinker with strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
Confident communicator with the ability to influence stakeholders and present recommendations clearly.
Skilled at managing competing priorities and delivering under tight deadlines.
Familiarity with risk management, cost assurance, and value-for-money principles in capital project delivery.
To be eligible, applicants must be currently residing in Australia and possess valid Australian work rights.
