Estimator

_{27th October, 2026}

We're looking for an Estimator to join Fleetwood's Queensland Design & Estimating team and play a critical role in supporting our growing pipeline of modular construction projects.

This role is responsible for preparing accurate and commercially sound estimates for projects across education, social housing, health, government, defence and accommodation sectors. Working closely with Design, Manufacturing, Project Delivery and Sales teams, you'll help assess opportunities, develop pricing strategies and ensure Fleetwood is positioned to win and deliver successful projects.

As Fleetwood continues to grow in Queensland, this role has become increasingly important. You'll be joining a collaborative team during an exciting period of expansion, helping increase estimating capacity and supporting the pursuit of significant project opportunities across the state.

While we welcome applications from experienced Estimators, we're also open to candidates from related construction disciplines who are looking to build a long-term career in estimating. You'll be supported by an experienced team and given the opportunity to develop your technical estimating capability while contributing to real projects from day one.
