Senior Estimator – Tier One International Builder | Data Centres & Hospitals

Step into a role with one of Australia’s award?winning MBA builders, a Tier One powerhouse quietly dominating the data centre and major health infrastructure space. This is the team behind $1B hyperscale facilities and $500M+ hospital redevelopments, a group whose Sydney division has become one of the city’s most consistent high performers. With a national reputation for quality, repeat clients across every sector, and a pipeline locked in well beyond 2027, this is where top estimators come to work on projects that actually move the needle.

This builder has grown steadily over the past 20 years and now employs more than 200 people nationally. Their Sydney branch is one of the quiet achievers of the construction market, delivering a diverse portfolio of projects exceeding $1B while maintaining exceptional relationships with clients and subcontractors. Their quality?driven approach has secured a strong repeat?business base across government, commercial, health, education and specialist sectors.

With a full order book and continued growth in the data centre and health markets, they are now seeking an experienced Estimator to join their high?performing pre?construction team.

Your Responsibilities
  • Break down drawings and specifications to detail all required materials, plant and equipment

  • Work closely with construction teams to forecast progress rates, programme impacts and cost implications

  • Prepare accurate cost estimates, incorporating overheads, risk allowances and profit margins

  • Develop and present tender submissions for major projects

  • Track, analyse and store cost data to continually improve pricing accuracy

  • Operate in a fast?paced tender environment where workload and deadlines fluctuate with market demand

This role is predominantly office?based and requires someone who thrives in a high?performance, deadline?driven environment.

What You Bring
  • Extensive estimating experience tendering for public sector or large?scale commercial/government projects

  • Proven ability to work under pressure and deliver to tight tender deadlines

  • A meticulous, detail?driven approach with strong analytical capability

  • A proactive, collaborative mindset — someone who works seamlessly with construction, design and commercial teams

  • Strong proficiency in MS Office and estimating platforms such as Buildsoft

  • Tertiary or trade background — both are welcome. What matters is your ability to deliver accurate, competitive tenders and support projects that finish on time, on budget and to a high standard.

  • MBA award?winning project delivery

  • Leadership in the data centre and health infrastructure sectors
