The brief
The contractor needed an estimator who understood building projects, had worked with Australian construction businesses and could communicate clearly with the local team.
Availability mattered because the role supported upcoming tenders. The search focused on experience, software and communication together.
The requirements
- At least four years of estimating experience
- A building and construction background
- Previous Australian construction experience
- Experience with Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Expert Estimation or similar tools
- Strong written and spoken English
The approach
Lynk ran a targeted search for offshore estimators with Australian project exposure. Applications were screened against the requirements agreed with the client.
The outcome
A senior estimator was placed within 12 days of the brief. The selected candidate brought more than ten years of total experience, including two years in Australian construction and four years working with offshore clients.
The selected estimator used Bluebeam and AutoCAD and brought strong English communication skills. The 12-day result relates to this placement; timing depends on the brief, availability and notice periods. The office photograph does not identify the candidate placed.
