Sales Estimator

Are you looking for a remarkable change?

You know, the kind that takes you to bigger and better places, and delivers the kudos to match. Well, good news. La Vida Homes – the builder on everyone's lips – is on the move. 

With record growth year-on-year under our belt, we're now in SA. Because the South Australian building industry has been the same for far too long, it's time for a builder to shake things up and deliver a more remarkable experience for clients and staff alike. 

But, you knew that. Right? Right. 

This is your opportunity to join a proven, growing (and, did we say, fun?!) team specialising in building homes. The successful applicant will be rewarded big time. With a great pay package, excellent working conditions, flexible working hours, advanced tech, and a pet/family-friendly environment. 

Oh, and unlike the tired and dreary builders of the past, La Vida Homes promotes on talent. So, if you're the go-getter type, there are a raft of career opportunities at your fingertips - including interstate. 

How's it going? 

It's a vibe; thanks for asking! Without the heavy layers of big builder bureaucracy, La Vida Homes isn't just championing real change; it's acting on it. Offering fixed pricing, transparent processes, unique experiences, and faster build times. And that's just the beginning.

It would be a crime to keep this better way of building to ourselves. So, we’ve secured a large and growing pipeline of work in SA and assembled a talented team of Adelaide locals. Which, is where you (and this role) come in. 

About the role

We're looking for a talented Sales Estimator with project builder experience to help grow our South Australian operation. Reporting to our Operations Manager, the successful applicant will ensure our new homes are sketched and drawn to perfection.

• Finalise contracts quotes, check drawing accuracy and create addenda
• Provide siteworks estimates
• Maintain estimating recipes/mini bills
• Communicate with suppliers and team members regarding new and current design options and specs
• Finalise client changes and variations

Flexibility, resourcefulness, and teamwork will make this dream work.

A bit about you

As a Estimator, you’ve cut your teeth in the construction industry. You’re looking for a change of pace (otherwise, you wouldn’t be here, right?). A chance to jump headfirst into a new and exciting challenge and get the support and recognition you deserve. Because it’s got to be rewarding!

And, when it comes to boxes, you tick them all:

• Minimum 2-year experience in a similar role
