Estimator / Contract Administrator
Location: South East Melbourne (Office-based)
Salary: Up to $150,000 + Superannuation
About Us:
We are a residential construction and Commercial construction company based in Melbourne’s South East. We pride ourselves on empowering our clients through high-quality home renovations, extensions, and custom new builds. Our philosophy places understanding, transparency, and a "customer-first" mindset front and centre, ensuring a stress-free journey for homeowners. We demand a high standard of work from ourselves and our subcontractors, consistently delivering beautifully finished homes on time and on budget.
The Role:
Due to a strong pipeline of upcoming work, we are looking for a dedicated Estimator to join our tight-knit team.
In this office-based role, you will take full ownership of the estimating process while also handling a portion of Contract Administration (CA) duties.
You will be working on a diverse range of premium residential projects, with project values spanning from $100K up to $5M.
Key Responsibilities:
Preparing accurate and comprehensive estimates for high-end residential renovations and new builds ($100K - $5m).
Undertaking Contract Administration tasks to assist with smooth and profitable project delivery.
Reviewing plans, conducting take-offs, and quoting materials and labour.
Liaising with subcontractors and suppliers to negotiate rates and ensure our high quality standards are met.
Working closely with the broader team to maintain our transparent building process and ensure budgets are strictly managed.
About You:
We are looking for someone who doesn't just know how to read a spreadsheet, but implicitly understands the mechanics of building. To be considered for the role, you will have:
Trade Background: An ex-carpenter ("chippy") or someone with extensive hands-on trade experience is our ideal candidate.
Site Knowledge: You know exactly how a residential site operates, the sequencing of trades, and can translate that practical site knowledge into highly accurate estimates.
Work Ethic: You are autonomous, proactive, and hard-working. You don't need to be micromanaged to get the job done.
Communication: You have a professional approach and share our uncompromising commitment to client satisfaction and quality.
What We Offer:
A highly competitive salary package of up to $150,000 + Super, commensurate with your experience.
The opportunity to work on beautifully designed, high-end residential projects.
A stable, office-based role with a company that values its staff just as much as its clients.
A supportive, professional team environment where communication and quality are paramount.
At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
