Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Shanes Trees Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

About Shane's Trees

Shane's Trees is a forward thinking Arboriculture company starting in Sydney over 30 years ago. We have a safety culture that underpins our reputation for excellence and our crews enjoy a working environment where they are genuinely valued and feel part of our bigger vision.

With our work now expanding across the state of NSW, QLD, Newcastle, Wollongong and greater Sydney we are looking for a skilled Commercial Estimator to join the team.

About the role

The Commercial Estimator will travel to site to assess tree projects—removals, pruning, land clearing or maintenance. Preparing precise cost proposals that ensure accurate pricing, profitability, and compliance with safety and environmental standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare detailed written quotations and tenders from initial stage through to final confirmed costing, including timelines, work method statements, and risk assessments
  • Visit clients at commercial, council, or development sites to evaluate tree size, species, condition, and potential hazards.
  • Identify access issues (e.g., power lines, traffic management needs, equipment reach).
  • Determine what work is required—removal, pruning, stump grinding, ongoing maintenance—and outline safety requirements and environmental considerations.
  • Estimate labour hours, equipment use (e.g., cranes, chippers), disposal or recycling fees, and traffic control costs.
  • Factor in permits, insurance, and compliance with local regulations.
  • Discuss project requirements with clients to explain technical details, answer questions, and negotiate pricing.
  • Obtain prices for specialised equipment or subcontracted services (cranes, barges and helicopters etc)
  • Monitor job costs versus the estimate to refine future pricing and maintain profitability.

Qualifications & experience

  • 4 years experience estimating in the Arboriculture industry
  • Strong understanding of tree biology and Arboriculture techniques
  • Knowledge of workplace safety standards and environmental regulations
  • Proficiency with estimating software, spreadsheets, and project management tools
  • Good communication and negotiation skills
  • Proven ability to read and work with plans
  • Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
  • Analytical ability to ensure quotes and tenders are accurate
  • White Card
  • Drivers License
  • Cert III in Arboriculture (or international equivalent)
  • AQF Cert V in Arboriculture (desirable)
  • RIW ticket

Benefits

  • Spend a large portion of your day outside instead of behind a desk all day
  • Work closely with a supportive crew where teamwork and safety are priorities
  • Support and guidance from the Director, who will act as your mentor
  • Chance to work across different suburbs, regions, or even interstate
  • Competitive salary
  • Fully maintained company vehicle and tools of trade

We're looking for someone with a strong work ethic, a positive outlook and genuine passion for arboriculture. You'll be a self-starter who thrives under pressure, meets deadlines, and represents our business with professionalism and pride.

Our team culture is supportive, safety-focused, and down-to-earth—we work hard, value each other's ideas, and share plenty of laughs along the way.

If this sounds like you, don't beat around the bush, APPLY NOW.
