Job Description

We’re working with a well-established commercial construction business to find an experienced Estimator to join their team. This is a key role within the pre-construction function, supporting tender preparation through to post-tender negotiations.

You’ll be involved across a range of commercial projects, working closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to deliver accurate, competitive tenders with a clear understanding of risk.

To be successful in this role, you’ll bring a strong commercial construction background, be commercially sharp, and confident producing high-quality tenders that balance cost, value, and risk.

• Proven experience using estimating software

• Strong time management and ability to manage multiple tenders at once

• Confident negotiating and building relationships with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers

• Clear and professional communication skills

• A collaborative approach, with a willingness to take ownership and contribute to the wider team

• Leadership capability or the potential to support and mentor others

This is a permanent opportunity with real scope for growth, working within a supportive and well-established team delivering a strong pipeline of work.

If you’re someone who enjoys the challenge of taking a tender from initial enquiry through to project award, and want to be part of a team where you can add value and grow your career, this is a great opportunity to consider.

What’s on offer:

• Competitive salary package

• Supportive team environment with a strong culture

• Ongoing professional development and career progression

• Health and wellbeing initiatives

• Flexible leave options

• Additional employee benefits and support services

Applicants must have the right to work in New Zealand. A pre-employment medical, including drug screening, may be required as part of the process.
