Constructing Partnerships and Careers | Principal Consultant with Redpath Partners - Construction
Sydney | Commercial & Complex Projects
We're working with an established head contractor to appoint an experienced Estimator into their pre‑construction team. This role is heavily ECI‑led, suited to someone who enjoys early engagement, problem‑solving and working collaboratively with delivery teams — not just pricing from the sidelines.
You'll report directly into the Head of Pre‑Construction and work alongside a team of three senior estimators, contributing to some technically complex and commercially interesting projects.
Salary
$180,000–$200,000 per year (Base pay range)
Key Responsibilities
* Strong ECI focus (circa 60%) – early contractor involvement, cost planning, feasibility and design development support
* Balance of ECI and select negotiated / limited tender work (not a hard‑dollar production desk)
* Work closely with project teams, consultants and clients from early concept through to construction
* Prepare cost plans, budgets, value engineering options and procurement strategies
Qualifications & Experience
* Proven estimating experience with a head contractor (essential)
* Comfortable operating in ECI environments and advising on buildability, risk and cost drivers
* Strong commercial judgement and ability to engage confidently with stakeholders
* Experience across complex commercial, residential or mixed‑use projects
* Someone who enjoys collaboration, not siloed estimating
Benefits & Why Apply
* Genuine ECI exposure and influence over outcomes
* Well‑structured pre‑construction team with strong leadership
* Long‑term pipeline and stable business environment
* Opportunity to work on projects where estimator input truly matters
