Estimating Jobs

Estimating is one of GEDON™’s most tightly held specialisms, because the right estimator doesn’t just price work — they protect margin, shape strategy, and directly influence whether a contractor grows or stalls. We recruit estimators who understand the full picture: scope interpretation, risk allowance, market testing, buildability, programme impact, and the practical realities that sit behind every rate and assumption.

Our in-depth knowledge comes from constant exposure to both candidates and clients across Australia’s construction landscape. We understand how estimating differs between Tier 1, Tier 2, and specialist builders; between hard-dollar and cost-plus work; and between sectors such as commercial, fit-out, infrastructure, defence, and major civil. We also recognise the difference between a production estimator who thrives in repeatable work and a strategic tender estimator who can pull apart ambiguity and still land a competitive number.

GEDON™’s network in estimating is unusually broad and current. We are connected to a deep pool of senior and emerging estimators, and we speak to them frequently — not only when they’re actively looking, but while they’re embedded in live tender environments. That means we know who is quietly ready for a step up, who has recently priced the sector you’re targeting, and who has the right mix of software capability (CostX, Cubit, Expert Estimation, Bluebeam, Benchmark, etc.) and commercial judgement.

We take shortlisting seriously. Estimating CVs can look similar on paper, so we go further — validating tender values, role depth, trade coverage, and how candidates handle risk, design gaps, and stakeholder tension. We also assess cadence: can they deliver accuracy at speed, and can they keep quality stable under pressure?

Whether you need a Graduate Estimator to grow, a Senior Estimator to lead, or an Estimating Manager to drive work-winning strategy, GEDON™ delivers hires that sharpen your tenders, strengthen your pipeline, and keep your commercial outcomes reliable.
