Estimator & Technical Lead

Ready to take the lead on some of the most complex, high-performance data centre and communications cabling envrionment projects in the industry?

We’re looking for a sharp, commercially minded Estimator & Technical Lead to join our team delivering hyperscale data centre and commercial cabling solutions. This is a high-impact, dual-role position where precision estimating meets technical authority — shaping projects from tender right through to delivery.

What’s on Offer

• Hands-on exposure to complex, high-profile projects

• Supportive team culture with access to ongoing internal and external training and development opportunities.

• Great location – Yarraville

The Opportunity

You’ll sit at the critical intersection of pre-construction, engineering, and delivery, ensuring every solution is:

• Commercially competitive 

• Technically sound

• Fully constructible 

 From major fibre backbones to dense copper infrastructure in mission-critical environments, you’ll help define how world-class data centres and commercial cabling systems are built.

What You’ll Own

Estimating & Commercial Excellence

• Break down complex RFQs, drawings, and specs into clear, buildable scopes

• Develop detailed BOQs across fibre, copper, containment, pathways, racks, and testing

• Deliver accurate, competitive cost estimates using real-world productivity and supplier pricing

• Identify risks, gaps, and design issues before they become problems

• Lead high-quality tender submissions with smart methodology and value engineering

• Support seamless handover into delivery with full commercial clarity

 Technical Leadership

• Act as the go-to technical authority for structured cabling systems

• Review and validate designs, shop drawings, and installation methodologies

• Guide project teams through installation, coordination, and commissioning challenges

• Ensure full compliance with AS/CA S009, AS/NZS 3000, TIA/EIA, and client standards

• Oversee testing & commissioning (OTDR, ILM, copper certification)

• Drive smarter ways of building through innovation and value engineering

What You Will Bring

Must-Have

• 5+ years in ICT, structured cabling, or data centre infrastructure

• Strong estimating experience in cabling/electrical/ICT environments

• Deep technical understanding of fibre, copper, containment, and pathways

• Experience in data centre or mission-critical projects

• Ability to read and interpret complex drawings and specifications

• Strong command of industry standards (AS/CA S009, TIA/EIA, AS/NZS 3000)

• Confident with Excel, estimating tools, and technical documentation

• Strong communicator who can influence across teams and stakeholders

Bonus Points

• Vendor certifications (Commscope, Panduit, Corning)

• BIM / REVIT / Bluebeam experience

• Site leadership or project engineering background

• Hands-on testing experience (OTDR, copper certification)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on cutting-edge hyperscale data centre builds

• High visibility role with real influence across projects

• Opportunity to shape how complex infrastructure is delivered

• A team that values quality, innovation, and doing it right the first time
