Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Custom Clad Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Custom Clad

At Custom Clad, we specialise in designing, manufacturing, and delivering high-quality commercial facades across Victoria and Queensland. We're looking for an experienced Estimator who combines technical expertise with strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

This is a key role within our team — you'll take the lead on pricing for major projects, liaise directly with builders, suppliers, and subcontractors, and help guide project decisions from the early tender stage through to delivery. You'll also play an important part in mentoring junior estimators and shaping our estimating processes.

To succeed, you'll need to be analytical, detail-driven, and confident in your ability to build relationships. As the main point of contact for pricing discussions and scope clarifications, you must be able to communicate clearly and professionally across all levels — from suppliers and site teams to senior leadership and clients.

  • Maintain up to date knowledge of different cladding material specifications, installation methodologies and access requirements

About You:

  • 5+ years estimating experience in commercial construction (ideally cladding or external facades)
  • Proven ability to interpret architectural and engineering drawings, specifications, and scopes of work
  • Proficient with Bluebeam or CostX and the full suite of Microsoft Office, especially Excel
  • Construction-related qualification (Cert IV, Diploma or Degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, etc.)
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary package, tailored to your experience
  • Autonomy and influence over estimating processes and outcomes
  • A supportive and collaborative work environment
  • Exposure to major commercial projects and builder partnerships
