What are the responsibilities and job description for the Estimator – Residential Construction position at CV2ME Pty Ltd?
About the Opportunity
You’ve spent years leading from within, holding
teams together while directors debate and directions change. You can see the
path forward clearly, but no one’s willing to commit to it.
The lack of alignment, accountability, and care for growth has left you feeling
disconnected from the values that first drew you to the industry.
Deep down, you know you’re made for more and ready to step into a role where
your decisions drive the business forward, where profitability, performance, and
purpose align.
About the Company
A boutique residential builder delivering high-quality homes across South East
Queensland is expanding its estimating and operations capability.
Known for fast build times, strong communication, and a commitment to doing
things properly, the company is now seeking an experienced Estimator to help
shape and strengthen its internal systems as it scales.
You’ll be joining a business that values structure, transparency, and
collaboration, where results matter, but people come first.
About the Role
As an Estimator, you’ll take full ownership of the estimating function,
bringing structure and accuracy to every stage of the build process.
You’ll work closely with the Scheduler, Construction Manager, and Director to
ensure material orders, supplier pricing, and build programs align with
profitability and delivery goals.
This position is currently work-from-home, fully supported by remote
systems and communication tools. Some hybrid functions may be required from
time to time, depending on project needs or collaboration requirements.
As the company continues to grow, this role offers clear career progression,
with the potential to evolve into a leadership or operations management
position for the right person.
It’s a role suited to someone who wants to lead the way: designing systems,
improving processes, and making sure the company’s growth is matched by
efficiency and precision.
Key Responsibilities
- Take full ownership of cost estimating,
BOQs, and tender documentation for residential homes.
- Review drawings, engineering, and
specifications to identify efficiencies or cost-saving opportunities.
- Collaborate with the Scheduler to ensure
correct quantities, material orders, and lead times.
- Maintain up-to-date supplier and
subcontractor pricing to support timely and profitable builds.
- Process variations and maintain cost
control throughout the project lifecycle.
- Liaise with construction, design, and
operations teams to ensure consistency across all project stages.
- Lead the refinement of estimating systems
and procedures to support scale and accuracy.
