* Following up submitted quotes and building relationships to help convert opportunities into secured work
* Liaising with builders, contractors and project managers throughout the quoting process
* Attending site visits and conducting site measures when required
* Working with internal teams to ensure quotes reflect real production capability
* Assisting with project handover once jobs are secured
* Maintaining accurate records of quotes and project information
What we're looking for
* Experience in estimating within construction, sheet metal or steel fabrication (junior to intermediate considered)
* Someone commercially minded who enjoys winning work, not just pricing it
* Ability to interpret drawings and extract key project information
* Strong attention to detail and accuracy
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
* Ability to manage multiple quotes and deadlines
* Good computer skills and confidence with estimating software
* Current driver's licence
* Australian work rights
Highly regarded

What we offer
* Competitive salary based on experience
* Fortnightly pay and full entitlements
* A key role helping grow the business
* Variety across estimating, client interaction and project coordination
* Supportive team environment
* Stable, long-term opportunity with a busy fabrication workshop
