Senior Estimator - Apartments Sector

A new Head Contractor is taking Adelaide by storm. Over the past few years, they've grown significantly and secured contracts for projects that many other local builders haven't been able to win. The reason is that they've got a different business model. The Senior Project Manager | Project Director, who is also running the project, holds ownership and equity in the company, giving them a stake in the outcome. So running the project isn't just about completion; the stakes are much higher because they're responsible for everything else as well. The Culture

The reason why the business's culture has become so strong over the years, as I said above, the Project Director owns the project; they haven't joined mid-way through, they've been there from early construction works, getting things meticulously right. So they won't leave if things get tough; they've committed to excellence right until the end. This is why the teams they've built over the years have been enjoying this change in mindset. They aren't talking the talk; they are walking the walk. They also expect the same from the construction units they build, which will join them. As a result, top construction professionals throughout the state are staying the course easily and organically from one project to the next, as management is truly leading from the front. The Person

They are seeking a Senior Estimator with at least 5 years of experience who has tendered and won at least 2 projects of $30M+ from inception to delivery, ideally in SA, in the mid-rise or high-rise residential sector. Your understanding of the local market and network of subcontractors here would be highly regarded and valued in your sector as well. Someone who has come to enjoy mixed-use apartment projects over the years and is passionate enough about them to dedicate themselves to that sub-sector for a couple of years more at the very least. The Responsibilities
