Your new role
Reporting to senior management, you will play a pivotal role in identifying opportunities, preparing estimates and managing projects from initial concept through to delivery.

• Monitoring project budgets and programmes throughout delivery
• Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and industry stakeholders
• Assisting with business development activities and identifying new work opportunities
• Improving and maintaining estimating systems, processes and reporting tools
• Projects will include residential subdivisions and land developments, taking greenfield sites through to completed titled lots.

What you'll need to succeed

• Previous experience estimating civil construction, subdivisions or land development projects
• Strong understanding of subdivision works and associated approval requirements
• Excellent commercial acumen and attention to detail
• Strong Microsoft Excel and computer literacy skills
• The ability to develop, implement and follow business systems and processes
• Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive and self-motivated approach with the ability to work autonomously
• The confidence to manage projects and opportunities from inception through to completion.

What you'll get in return
This is an opportunity to join a successful and growing civil contractor in a highly influential role where you can make a genuine impact on the business.
In return, you will receive:

• A highly negotiable salary package based on experience and capability
• Flexibility for candidates based in Hobart or Launceston
• Exposure to diverse projects across Tasmania and interstate

• Long-term career growth opportunities within a stable and expanding organisation
