Construction Estimator

About Us:

Slabtec Pty Ltd are a specialist structural strengthening and remediation contractor, delivering complex, design-led solutions for carbon fibre reinforcement, crack injections, concrete remediation, and structural repair works. Our projects span critical infrastructure, commercial, health, and residential assets across NSW, VIC, and WA.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a graduate or early-career Estimator with a Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, or Contracts Administration background to join our estimating team. You’ll be trained directly by our Estimating Manager, building genuine technical capability in pricing specialist structural strengthening and repair works — not generic construction estimating.

This will be a primarily office-based role, with time out visiting sites to understand scope, access constraints, and existing structural conditions firsthand — experience that directly informs how we price the work.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare accurate cost estimates for new tender submissions and contract variations, across carbon fibre strengthening, crack injection, and concrete remediation scopes
• Interpret structural drawings, specifications, and scope documents (including design-led repair methodologies) to build take-offs and pricing
• Attend site visits to assess existing conditions, access, and scope prior to pricing
• Liaise with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain and validate quotes, including their qualifications, inclusions and exclusions
• Track and manage tender/quote status, follow-ups, and negotiation outcomes through our CRM
• Support the Estimating Manager on more complex or higher-value submissions

Assist with building out pricing templates, rate libraries, and estimating processes as you develop

About You:

• Degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or similar — or equivalent contracts admin/QS experience
• Ideally some industry experience; graduates strongly encouraged to apply
• Strong Excel skills; comfort learning new software / CRM systems
• Confident reading drawings and specifications
• Clear written and verbal communication — you’ll be liaising with subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams
• Genuine interest in structural engineering, remediation, or specialist construction methods
• Valid driver’s licence (for site visits)
• Comfortable on active construction/commercial sites (white card, or willingness to obtain)
