Not every estimating role is just about numbers.
Some roles are about being part of a business where people genuinely enjoy coming to work, where your work is valued, and where the environment around you feels supportive, collaborative and long-term.
GemSource Recruitment is currently partnering with a well-established residential builder on the Sunshine Coast that has built a strong reputation not just for the homes they deliver, but for the culture they've created internally.
We're looking for a Production Estimator who enjoys the operational side of residential construction and takes pride in producing accurate work, solving problems, supporting delivery teams, and helping projects run smoothly behind the scenes.
This is a business that values honesty, transparency, teamwork and good people. You'll be joining an environment where communication matters, where people support each other, and where the team genuinely wants to see each other succeed.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to step into a business where your contribution is genuinely valued, your voice is heard, and the environment around you feels positive, stable and long-term.
