Looking for Philippines-based candidates Job Role: Estimator (Joinery and Cabinet) Compensation range: $2,000 AUD - $2,500 AUD / Monthly Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time. Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home. Who The Client Is: Our client is a growing specialist contractor within the commercial construction sector, delivering high-performance exterior building solutions for complex developments. The business combines advanced engineering expertise, modern manufacturing practices, and a collaborative project approach to support clients from design through installation. Known for its focus on quality, technical excellence, and dependable project execution, the company partners with builders, architects, and developers to deliver tailored solutions for large-scale commercial projects. As the business continues to expand, it is investing in skilled professionals who are passionate about innovation, precision, and delivering outstanding outcomes. Role Overview: This is a specialist estimating role for commercial joinery and cabinetry. The successful candidate will prepare complete proposals from tender documents, drawings, schedules, specifications, supplier information and project requirements. The role is not a general building estimating role. The candidate must understand joinery, cabinetry, cabinet terminology, materials, hardware, finishes, stone, installation methodology and the way commercial joinery packages are documented and delivered. The estimator must be able to quantify joinery scope accurately for tender and proposal purposes. This includes understanding what is included, what is excluded, what needs clarification and what assumptions must be stated clearly before submission. The estimator must be able to produce a proposal that is clear enough for a builder to review, detailed enough for the client to rely on, and structured enough for the project team to hand over into delivery. This is not a training role. The client needs someone who can add estimating capacity quickly, ask intelligent questions, identify missing information and prepare professional tender submissions with limited supervision once the company pricing format is explained. Key Responsibilities:  Review tender documents, architectural drawings, joinery drawings, cabinet elevations, sections, details, room layouts, apartment schedules, finishes schedules, specifications, addenda and builder scopes to understand the full joinery package. Quantify joinery and cabinetry scope for kitchens, vanities, wardrobes, laundries, linen cupboards, overhead cupboards, reception counters, common area joinery, loose joinery, mirrors, stone, hardware, tapware, appliances and other included scope items. Understand and apply correct joinery terminology, material descriptions, construction methodology, installation allowances, project staging, delivery assumptions and scope boundaries when preparing proposals. Prepare complete proposals including scope summary, pricing summary, inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, clarifications, qualifications, lead time notes and tender return documentation. Identify missing information, inconsistent drawings, unclear specifications, unrealistic scopes and items requiring builder clarification before final pricing. Prepare RFI lists and clarification schedules for review before issue to builders or consultants.
