The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of Australian construction standards and the ability to translate project drawings and specifications into practical, cost-effective, and technically sound solutions. Experience with sports fields, recreational facilities, and large-scale commercial landscaping projects will be highly regarded. This position is suited to a technically capable professional who can manage estimating tasks independently, contribute to design development, identify project risks, and collaborate effectively with Australian-based stakeholders and offshore teams. Key Responsibilities1. Estimating and Cost Planning - Prepare detailed and accurate cost estimates for commercial landscaping, irrigation, turf installation, and associated civil works. - Review project drawings, specifications, tender documents, and scope requirements to establish project costs and resource needs. - Develop comprehensive cost breakdowns covering materials, labour, equipment, subcontractors, and installation requirements. - Evaluate supplier and subcontractor quotations, validate pricing, and identify discrepancies or scope gaps. - Assess project risks, identify cost-saving opportunities, and recommend practical alternatives without compromising quality or compliance. - Independently manage estimating activities and deliver accurate submissions within required tender deadlines. 2. Quantity Takeoffs and Measurements - Conduct detailed quantity takeoffs from architectural, landscape, civil, hydraulic, and irrigation drawings. - Measure and calculate quantities for turf areas, planting zones, soil preparation, irrigation components, drainage, earthworks, and related landscaping materials. - Use digital takeoff tools to ensure accurate measurements and consistent estimating outputs. - Verify quantities against drawings, specifications, and site requirements, investigating discrepancies where necessary. - Interpret complex plans and identify missing information, design conflicts, or potential variations that may affect project costs. 3. Irrigation Design and Technical Layouts - Design and develop irrigation system layouts for commercial landscapes, sports fields, turf areas, and recreational facilities, including sprinkler placement, pipe routing, valve locations, zoning, and associated components. - Review irrigation plans to assess coverage, practicality, material requirements, and installation considerations. - Apply relevant hydraulic principles when assessing flow requirements, pipe sizing, pressure considerations, and system performance, within the scope of the role. - Coordinate irrigation design requirements with landscape plans, drainage systems, civil works, and project specifications. - Identify design improvements and practical alternatives to support efficient installation, cost control, and long-term system functionality. 4. Landscape, Turf, and Sports Field Design Support - Interpret and develop landscape-related layouts and technical drawings for commercial projects, turf installations, and recreational facilities. - Assist in planning turf areas, planting zones, soil preparation, grading, drainage, and associated landscape infrastructure. - Prepare or refine landscape and turf layouts based on project drawings, specifications, and site requirements. - Assess material quantities and installation methods for natural turf, synthetic turf where applicable, and related landscape works. - Coordinate turf and landscape requirements with irrigation, drainage, and civil construction elements. - Provide technical recommendations to improve constructability, material efficiency, and overall project outcomes. 5. Civil and Hydraulic Technical Input - Apply knowledge of civil construction and hydraulic engineering principles when reviewing project requirements and preparing estimates. - Interpret relevant civil, grading, drainage, and hydraulic drawings to support accurate takeoffs and practical design coordination. - Identify potential clashes, constructability issues, and technical risks affecting irrigation, landscaping, and civil works. - Ensure estimates and technical deliverables align with applicable Australian standards, codes, regulations, and project specifications. - Coordinate with engineers, designers, and project stakeholders where specialist technical review or design approval is required. 6. Estimating Software and Documentation - Use Groundplan for digital takeoffs, measurements, and quantity calculations. - Use Simpro for estimating, cost management, and related project workflows. - Used AutoCAD for designing layouts. - Utilize Microsoft Office applications to prepare estimates, cost summaries, reports, and supporting documentation. - Maintain accurate, organized, and traceable estimating records, drawings, material schedules, and project documentation. - Support improvements to estimating templates, digital workflows, and documentation processes. 7. Project Coordination and Stakeholder Communication - Work closely with Australian-based project managers, engineers, landscape professionals, suppliers, and subcontractors. - Coordinate with offshore team members to ensure estimating and design deliverables are accurate and completed on time. - Communicate technical queries, assumptions, exclusions, and project risks clearly. - Provide progress updates and contribute technical insights during tender reviews and project discussions. - Support continuous improvement in estimating accuracy, design coordination, and project delivery processes. Required Experience and SkillsRequired Experience - Minimum of 3 years of relevant construction estimating experience , preferably at an intermediate level or above. - Demonstrated experience in commercial landscaping, irrigation systems, turf installation, civil construction, or closely related projects. - Practical experience in quantity takeoffs, cost estimation, and interpreting technical construction drawings. - Experience preparing or interpreting irrigation layouts and landscape-related plans. - Working knowledge of civil and hydraulic concepts relevant to irrigation, drainage, and landscaping works. Required Technical Skills - Strong proficiency in construction estimating, cost planning, and digital quantity takeoffs. - Ability to interpret and develop irrigation layouts, turf plans, and landscape-related technical drawings. - Familiarity with irrigation components, pipe routing, sprinkler systems, zoning, drainage, and associated installation requirements. - Proficiency in Groundplan, Simpro, and Microsoft Office . - Understanding of applicable Australian construction standards, codes, regulations, and project specifications. - Ability to identify design inconsistencies, assess constructability, and recommend cost-effective solutions. Professional and Communication Skills - Strong attention to detail and commitment to estimating accuracy. - Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and meet tender deadlines. - Confident in communicating technical matters with onshore stakeholders and offshore colleagues. - Analytical problem-solving skills and sound commercial judgment. - Proactive, collaborative, and comfortable taking ownership of assigned estimating and design tasks. Desirable / Nice-to-Have - Experience supporting Australian commercial construction or landscaping projects. - Background in sports field construction, recreational facilities, golf courses, or large-scale turf projects. - Hands-on experience with turf installation, irrigation system planning, landscape construction, or drainage works. - Experience preparing or refining technical drawings and layouts using relevant CAD or design software. - Knowledge of irrigation system hydraulics, water distribution, grading, and drainage design. - Experience working with outsourced, offshore, or remote project teams. - Relevant qualifications in civil engineering, irrigation, landscape design, construction, or a related discipline. Qualifications and Certifications - A degree, diploma, or relevant technical qualification in Civil Engineering, Landscape Design, Irrigation Design, Construction, or a related field is preferred. - Relevant industry training or certifications in irrigation, landscape construction, or estimating are advantageous. Pay: Php50,000.00 - Php55,000.00 per month Application Question(s): - Have you prepared estimates for Australian construction projects? If so, what types of projects have you worked on, and how familiar are you with Australian pricing, suppliers, construction practices, and project specifications? - What types of quantities have you measured for landscaping and irrigation projects, such as turf areas, pipe lengths, sprinkler heads, valves, soil, drainage, or earthworks? - Which digital takeoff and estimating tools have you used?
