Our focus is on the infrastructure that enables tomorrow's communities and digital economy from power and water networks through to the essential infrastructure supporting Australia's growth. The demand for critical infrastructure has never been greater.
Driven by unprecedented investment in data centres, power, water and enabling infrastructure, our business is entering an exciting new phase of growth. We're looking for a talented Cost Estimator to help us win it. This isn't a role where you'll inherit decades of legacy processes.

In return, we offer:A role with genuine ownership and visibility over the work you price. Mentoring and support from an experienced precontracts team. Exposure to some of Australia's fastest-growing infrastructure markets.
Career growth aligned with a rapidly expanding business. A collaborative, ambitious and values-driven culture. Competitive remuneration aligned with experience and capability.
