- Support pre-qualification submissions, governance reviews, tender presentations, and post-tender negotiations.
- Mentor other estimators and contribute to a team culture that values safety, collaboration and continuous improvement.

- A proactive, delivery-focused approach, with the confidence to solve problems, think ahead and keep things moving.
- A team-first mindset with sound judgement, respect for others, and a genuine commitment to safety and good work.
