Overview

Residential Estimator | Ready to Build More Than Just Numbers?

At GemLife, we don’t just build homes—we build vibrant, luxury lifestyles for the over-50s. With 8 new resort sites launching in the second half of 2025 alone, we’re scaling fast and looking for an Estimator who’s ready to grow with us—and not just in their current role.

We’re on the hunt for someone with strong residential estimating experience (5+ years) who understands production estimating inside and out—and wants more than just a desk job.

Why GemLife?

We’re a family-owned powerhouse experiencing incredible growth—and we’re only just getting started. With a strong construction arm (QA Build), in-house design, development and resort operations, GemLife offers the full construction and lifestyle experience under one roof. That means genuine cross-functional career progression once you’ve grown in your own lane.

What’s in it for you

- Career progression within Estimating or into Project, Design, or Construction roles

- High-performing, down-to-earth team culture

- Competitive salary + employee perks (retail discounts, novated leasing & more)

- Learning & development tools to help you level up

- Corporate uniform allowance

- Modern office with breakout spaces, ping pong, pool table & team events

What You’ll Do

- Prepare & review detailed costings, take-offs and cost plans

- Collaborate closely with Site Managers, Suppliers, and internal stakeholders

- Negotiate pricing and maintain supplier relationships

- Track variations and project financial performance

- Drive accuracy, speed, and quality across all estimating outputs

What You’ll Bring

- 5+ years of residential estimating experience (production background highly regarded)

- Strong knowledge of construction processes & pricing structures

- Experience with Databuild preferred

- A trade background (ideally Carpentry) or a Diploma in Building & Construction

- Great communication skills and the confidence to work across teams

- A mindset for growth—you’re hungry to evolve and take your career further
