ROLE OVERVIEW:
This is a hybrid role focused primarily on estimating, quotation preparation and professional sales proposals.
Approximately 75% of the role will involve estimating, including preparing detailed cost estimates, obtaining supplier pricing, creating client quotations and sales proposals, and compiling tender submissions for custom exhibition stands and branded environments.
The remaining 25% will involve production and office administration, supporting the team with purchasing, supplier coordination, project documentation, logistics and general administration for current and upcoming projects.
You will work directly with company Designers to understand and accurately cost each creative concept. You will also work closely with and report to our Producers, who manage client communication and project delivery on behalf of the team, as well as the Managing Director.
Together, you will ensure every proposal is accurate, commercially considered, clearly documented and ready for successful production.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in commercial joinery, shopfitting, exhibitions, signage or interior fit-outs who understand custom fabrication, construction materials, supplier pricing and the practical requirements of turning drawings into accurate build costs.
This role requires someone who can work independently, take ownership of their responsibilities and complete accurate work within urgent project deadlines.
