If you've recently completed an engineering or construction-related qualification and are looking for a career where you can combine technical thinking with problem solving and commercial skills, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're working with a highly respected specialist business that has built an outstanding reputation within the building services industry. They are looking for someone who is eager to learn, enjoys asking questions and wants to build a long-term career in estimating.

You'll be supported by experienced professionals who will mentor you every step of the way, giving you the technical knowledge and commercial skills needed to become a successful estimator. If you're looking for more than just a first job, and want a business where you can grow, develop and build a long-term career, we'd love to hear from you.

No previous estimating experience is required. What matters most is your attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn.


WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Prepare quotations and cost estimates with support from experienced estimators
• Learn how to interpret drawings and specifications for specialist HVAC and building services projects
• Work alongside clients, suppliers and internal teams to help deliver successful projects
• Develop strong commercial awareness while learning how projects are scoped and priced
• Build your technical knowledge and progressively take on greater responsibility as your confidence grows

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• A recent graduate in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline
• A genuine interest in engineering, construction and how things work
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to ask questions
• A proactive attitude, willingness to learn and desire to build a long-term career

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Comprehensive training and mentoring from experienced industry professionals
• A clear pathway into a rewarding career in estimating
• Exposure to technically challenging projects across New Zealand
• A supportive team that values initiative and encourages professional growth
• Join a well-established business with an excellent reputation and strong long-term career prospects

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a business that genuinely enjoys developing people. If you're looking for a career rather than just your first job, this could be the perfect place to start.
