  • Open to experience level:
    • Junior/mid-level candidates with solid foundations and some support required, OR
    • Senior estimators (10-15+ years) who can hit the ground running

  • Must be able to work independently - limited capacity for intensive training
  • Strong estimating background within fit out or similar sectors
  • Preferably an estimator by trade (not a career QS), to ensure long-term fit and retention
