Job Role: Electrical Estimator

Compensation range: $1,800AUD - $2,200 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Known for delivering high-quality electrical solutions, we partner closely with builders and are expanding our team to support continued business growth and an increasing pipeline of projects.

Role Overview: We're looking for an experienced Electrical Estimator to take ownership of the estimating and tendering function across our commercial electrical projects. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, has a strong eye for detail, and can confidently manage the estimating process from initial drawings through to client-ready tender submissions.

As part of a close-knit team, you'll play a key role in helping the business win new projects by producing accurate, competitive estimates while maintaining strong relationships with suppliers, subcontractors, and clients.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, and project documentation.
• Prepare accurate quantity take-offs for lighting, power, data, and other electrical systems.
• Develop detailed project cost estimates using Microsoft Excel, including materials, labour, and subcontractor pricing.
• Prepare competitive tenders and professional client-ready bid submissions.
• Liaise with suppliers and subcontractors via email to obtain competitive pricing for electrical, civil works, and other trade packages.
• Attend site inspections when required to support the estimating process.
• Assist in developing project budgets and preliminary schedules.
• Participate in client discussions during the tender process and support successful negotiations.
• Maintain accurate records of estimates, supplier quotations, project correspondence, and tender documentation.
• Use SimPro (or similar software) to support project tracking and documentation.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve estimating processes and contribute to business growth.
• Work autonomously while collaborating effectively with the wider project team.
