We are looking for an Estimating Manager who takes pride in creating order, driving momentum, and leading a capable team. This Brisbane builder has a strong reputation, a consistent pipeline of work, and a culture built around teamwork and quality delivery. They are seeking someone who can combine technical precision with the calm confidence of a natural leader.

In this role, you will take ownership of the estimating function ensuring accuracy across every BOQ, purchase order, and variation, while keeping projects moving efficiently through to site.

  • Lead and mentor a small estimating team to deliver accurate and consistent work

  • Review BOQs, estimates, and purchase orders to maintain quality and control

  • Ensure plans, specifications, and variations are costed correctly the first time

  • Maintain supplier and trade pricing to protect cost integrity

  • Refine processes to improve efficiency and reduce bottlenecks

  • Collaborate with construction, drafting, and procurement to ensure seamless handovers

What you will bring:

  • Proven experience in residential estimating within a builder environment

  • Previous leadership or mentoring experience with a small team

  • Strong organisational skills and a structured approach to workflow

  • Proficiency in estimating software such as Databuild, Onsite Companion, or BuildSoft

  • A practical, detail-focused mindset with the ability to problem-solve quickly

If you are ready to take ownership of your department and lead a team in a supportive, forward-thinking business that values accuracy, collaboration, and pride in workmanship this is the opportunity for you.
