A family-owned construction and engineering group has been delivering complex projects across Australia and the Pacific for more than 50 years. Their work spans oil and gas, mining, power generation, and major infrastructure. With a close-knit team of around 25 at head office and a workforce known for staying long-term, this is a business where capable people are given real responsibility and supported to grow.
This is a senior leadership role within the estimating function. You will oversee a team of seven to eight estimators across Brisbane and the Philippines, balancing hands-on estimating (approximately 50%) with tender reviews, process improvement, and the coaching and accountability needed to lift the function as a whole. The business has a strong pipeline of major work already in play, including Olympic-linked tenders, and needs a technical leader who can perform under pressure and develop the people around them.
