Senior Electrical Estimator – Cable Containment & Data Centres | ProEst | Full-Time

Full-Time Remote Position | Offshore Applicants Welcome

Blitz Systems is an innovative Australian supplier of cable containment and installation-ready support systems. We supply cable tray, cable ladder, wire basket, fire-rated containment, seismic solutions and prefabricated supports to major electrical contractors across Australia.

Due to our continued growth in the Australian data-centre market, we are seeking an exceptional Senior Cable Containment Estimator to join our team on a full-time, long-term basis.

This is not a general construction estimating position. We require someone who can confidently interpret highly detailed electrical drawings, containment schedules, specifications and revisions, then convert them into accurate, traceable and quote-ready bills of materials.

The Role

You will be responsible for:

Completing detailed take-offs for large and complex data-centre projects.
Measuring cable tray, cable ladder, wire basket and associated containment systems.
Identifying straight lengths, bends, tees, crosses, reducers, risers, covers, dividers, splice plates and accessories.
Calculating trapeze supports, cantilever supports, threaded rod, fixings and associated hardware.
Separating systems by type, width, finish, floor, zone and fire-rating requirement.
Reconciling electrical contractor schedules against drawings and specifications.
Identifying discrepancies, duplicated quantities, missing items and scope gaps.
Reviewing drawing addenda and maintaining accurate revision control.
Producing clearly marked-up drawings so every quantity can be independently verified.
Preparing quote-ready bills of materials using Blitz Systems product codes.
Maintaining comprehensive assumptions, exclusions and clarification registers.
Working closely with our Australian estimating, sales and technical teams.

Essential Experience

Applicants must demonstrate:

At least five years’ experience in electrical, MEP or cable-containment estimating.
Experience working on data centres, hospitals, industrial facilities or other technically complex projects.
Strong knowledge of cable tray, cable ladder, wire basket and containment support systems.
The ability to interpret electrical plans, sections, schematics, schedules and specifications.
Experience reconciling conflicting information across multiple project documents.
Strong digital take-off and drawing-mark-up capabilities.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
Excellent written and spoken English.
Strong attention to detail and the confidence to raise technical questions rather than make unsupported assumptions.
The ability to work reliably and communicate regularly during Australian business hours.
Software Requirements

Blitz Systems uses ProEst as its primary take-off and estimating platform.

Previous ProEst experience is highly desirable. However, we will consider an exceptional electrical containment estimator who has strong experience with Bluebeam, CostX, Cubit, PlanSwift or another recognised digital take-off platform and is prepared to undertake ProEst training.

Experience with AutoCAD, Revit and Navisworks will be highly regarded.

What Success Looks Like

The successful applicant will not simply measure lines on drawings. You will understand what is being installed, recognise the fittings and supports required, identify conflicts in the tender documentation and produce an auditable take-off that Blitz Systems can confidently use for major quotations.

Accuracy, traceability and technical judgment are more important to us than producing a fast but unreliable quantity sheet.

What We Offer
A permanent, full-time remote position.
Long-term career opportunity with a growing Australian company.
Competitive remuneration based on experience and demonstrated capability.
ProEst and Blitz product training.
Exposure to major Australian data-centre and infrastructure projects.
Direct involvement with our estimating, technical and management teams.
The opportunity to help develop and improve our estimating assemblies, product database and take-off procedures.
Career progression as our estimating team expands.
Application Requirements

Please submit:

Your CV and current location.
Your expected monthly salary.
Your availability to commence.
Details of your electrical estimating experience.
Examples of data-centre or complex commercial projects you have worked on.
The take-off and estimating software you have used.
Your specific experience with cable tray, cable ladder, wire basket and support systems.
Examples of marked-up drawings and quantity schedules, with confidential project information removed.
Confirmation that you can work with reasonable overlap during Australian business hours.

Shortlisted candidates will complete a paid technical take-off assessment using a sample cable-containment package. The assessment will test drawing interpretation, quantity accuracy, fitting and support recognition, schedule reconciliation, mark-up quality and identification of scope gaps.

If you are a technically capable estimator who takes pride in producing accurate, defendable and professionally presented work, we would like to hear from you.
