Metalworks Estimator

As a 'Metalworks Estimator' (Aluminium), your primary role will be to prepare accurate and well-defined takeoffs of Aluminium Façade Features (Metalworks). A few examples are balustrades, screens, fences, battens, privacy screens, gates and others as instructed.

You will work under the direction of our Australian based 'Chief Metalworks Estimator' who will nominate what products are required on a project-to-project basis as well as when take-offs are required to be submitted. Submission dates are extremely important; they are not negotiable and will need to be met. Quantifying format of product types will be agreed upon between yourself and our Metalworks Estimator. On a day-to-day basis you will report to our Quantity Surveyor (Glazing) for general assistance and support.
