estimator / project manager

Randstad has partnered with a premier civil contractor based in Margate to secure a dual-function Estimator / Project Manager. Renowned for their practical approach, strong work ethic, and commitment to quality outcomes, this growing business is seeking a practical professional who thrives working across both tender preparation and on-site project delivery across Southern Tasmania.

In this position, you will bridge the gap between tendering and execution—preparing accurate, competitive tenders for commercial civil packages (earthworks, concrete structures, drainage) before stepping in to manage procurement, variations, client relations, and financial performance through to completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Estimating & Tendering: Review tender documents, conduct accurate take-offs, construct detailed BOQs, and obtain competitive subcontractor pricing to prepare end-to-end tender submissions.

• Project Delivery: Manage awarded projects from handover to completion, including procurement, scheduling, risk management, and budget control.

• Commercial & Financial: Track project performance, manage variation registers, control costs, and oversee monthly progress claims.

• Stakeholder Management: Maintain strong working relationships with clients, engineers, subcontractors, and internal site teams.

• Compliance & Quality: Support quality assurance, site safety, and environmental compliance across all project phases.

Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 5+ years of combined experience in civil estimating and project management.

• Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of civil construction methodologies, detailed take-offs, contract management, and project costing.

• Software Proficiency: Strong skills in civil estimating software, project scheduling tools, and MS Office suite (Excel).

• Communication & Mindset: Solution-focused, commercially astute, with strong relationship-building and negotiation skills.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary package ($130k – $160k + Super).

• Fully maintained company vehicle and fuel card.

• Dynamic, dual-focused role offering end-to-end oversight and job variety.

• Supportive, hands-on workplace culture in a growing business.
