Looking for Philippines-based candidates
Job Role: Senior Estimator
Compensation range: $1,800 - $2,000 AUD / Monthly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.
Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you'll be able to work from home.
Who The Client Is: A well-established, family-owned civil and landscaping enterprise that has been operating in Australia for over three decades. They specialise in paving, streetscape upgrades, public domain works, and civil infrastructure projects across commercial and government sectors.
The company has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality workmanship on council and infrastructure projects. With a solid pipeline of secured work and a significant backlog of projects awaiting pricing, they are now investing in building a stable, long-term offshore estimating team to support continued growth. Unlike high-turnover environments, this business values loyalty, consistency, and long-term working relationships. They are seeking someone who wants stability, ownership of their work, and the opportunity to become a key part of a close-knit construction team.
Role Overview: The Senior Estimator will be responsible for preparing accurate, competitive, and compliant cost estimates for civil, paving, landscaping, and public domain projects. This role plays a critical part in securing new work and supporting project delivery through strong cost control and risk assessment.
You will work directly with leadership and project teams, handling a backlog of active tenders and ensuring pricing aligns with Australian construction standards and council requirements. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, commercially aware, and comfortable managing multiple tenders at different stages.
