About the Opportunity

Are you an experienced Electrical Estimator looking for a high-impact contract with a genuine long-term future? We are partnering with a highly respected, rapidly expanding Tier 2 Engineering and Electrical Infrastructure Specialist currently ranked among the fastest-growing companies in Australia.

Due to an immediate surge across our critical infrastructure portfolio, we are seeking a Senior Electrical Estimator to cover three major expansion streams: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Data Centres, and Heavy Industrial projects. This initial contract runs for up to 6 months and comes with a concrete, structured pathway to transition into a permanent full-time position based on performance and project runway.

This is a 100% remote (Work From Home) position offering true flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to work directly alongside senior leadership, including the National General Manager.

Main Responsibilities & Key Result Areas

As a core member of the Pre-Contracts Team, you will analyse project requirements, prepare accurate cost estimates for construction or manufacturing projects, and ensure that estimates are realistic, competitive, and aligned with project budgets.

Enquiry & Scope Verification: Check enquiries to ensure adequate information (drawings, commercial terms, and specifications) is available to enable an accurate estimate.
Accurate Costing: Prepare detailed and accurate cost estimates for projects, analysing requirements including labour, materials, and equipment to determine cost projections across BESS, Data Centre, and Industrial packages.
Lead Proposals & Bids: Develop and present competitive, comprehensive bids and proposals. Facilitate cost proposal kick-off meetings, clearly outlining structure, expectations, and strategic direction for contributing estimators.
End-to-End Governance: Oversee the estimating process end-to-end, validating client data, challenging assumptions, and adjusting estimates to maintain alignment with the win strategy. Manage submission schedules, monitor progress, and oversee Extension of Time requests where required.
Supply Chain Engagement: Obtain, evaluate, and review quotes from suppliers and subcontractors, building strong relationships with Procurement and Rate Card teams to ensure costs are accurate, reliable, and competitive.
Systems & Database Management: Maintain and organise detailed records of estimates, including calculations, assumptions, and supporting documentation. Refine estimating bases, assembly costs, catalogue pricing, and norms within ProEst, benchmarking against operational performance.
Risk & Continuous Improvement: Identify potential risks and uncertainties in project costs and incorporate contingencies. Work closely with the Pre-Contracts Systems Manager to enhance template processes, procedures, and consistency.
Collaborative Handover: Support smooth project handovers through thorough documentation and communication to the project team for project kick-off.
Strategic Growth: Work closely with the National General Manager Data Centres and infrastructure leads with a strategic focus on work winning, repeat clientele, and further expansion of the sectors.

Quality, Health, Safety & Environmental Responsibilities

Demonstrate a personal commitment to Health, Safety, and the Environment.
Actively apply company and client Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality Policies and procedures across all estimating tasks.

About You

We are seeking a structured professional whose behaviour is consistent with high ethical standards, integrity, and corporate values.

Qualifications:

Essential: Year 12 qualification, OR an Electrical Trade Background.
Preferred: Construction Management Certificate, OR an Estimator Certificate.

Experience, Competence, Skills & Knowledge:

Essential: Excellent English skills – both verbal and written.
Essential: Proven experience in Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV) & High Voltage (HV) Electrical scopes (matching BESS, Data Centre, or general heavy industrial profiles).
Essential: Strong experience in estimating, cost analysis, or a related field, with a proven track record of preparing accurate cost projections.
Essential: Demonstrated proficiency in using Estimating Software platforms (experience using ProEst is highly advantageous).
Preferred: Deep experience working within the broader construction, utilities, and engineering industries.

Personal Qualities:

Detail-Oriented: Focused on thoroughly understanding all required RFP documentation.
Analytical: Ability to break down complex activities and tasks to base levels.
Organised: Structured approach to work that is repeatable.
Problem Solver: Ability to fully understand an issue and present clear solutions rather than questions.
Team Player: Highly collaborative contributor who works effectively within a team environment and meets strict submission timelines without distraction.

Why Join Us?

Attractive Daily Rate: Highly competitive daily rate of $900 – $1,200 per day.
True Flexibility: 100% work-from-home model with location-independent opportunities across Australia and New Zealand
Real Runway: Initial contract of up to 6 months with a concrete pathway to a permanent full-time position.
