Estimating Bid Administrator

Klemzig, South Australia 5087, Australia • Full-time

Description

Are you the kind of person who likes structure, works well to deadlines, and takes real pride in producing polished work?

 

This is a role supporting one of South Australia’s largest estimating teams with tenders, submissions, and the admin that keeps the department running well.

 

About the role

You’ll be joining our Estimating Team, helping prepare, coordinate, and submit tenders across projects from $100K to $10M. We do a wide range of commercial work, so you’ll get exposure to different project types, clients, and submission requirements.

 

In this role you’ll work across the estimating team and in collaboration with parts of our construction team as well, so you’ll get good exposure to how things come together commercially and operationally. You’ll also get to work with tools like ChatGPT and other AI products as part of the role. It’s a good opportunity for someone wanting to build real experience in estimating, submissions, and commercial construction.

 

Here’s some of what you’ll get up to:

  • Prepare capability statements, EOIs, and tender submissions.
  • Coordinate tender documents and submissions from start to finish.
  • Submit responses via email and client portals.
  • Keep the Tender Register, templates, and internal information up to date.
  • Tailor standard content to suit project specific tender requirements.

 

Here are 5 things we think will make you ideal for this role:

  1. Experience in admin, tendering, submissions, estimating support, or a similar coordination role.
  2. Strong written skills and the ability to put together polished, well-presented documents.
  3. Good organisation and the ability to manage multiple deadlines at once.
  4. Strong attention to detail and confidence working through systems, portals, and templates.
  5. A positive attitude, good judgement, and a willingness to learn, take ownership, and contribute to the team.

Bonus points if you’ve used Canva, AdobePro, Photoshop, ChatGPT, or have a bit of marketing or communications experience. None of that is essential though, we’ll train the right person.

 

And here are a few reasons why we’re afraid you might not:

  1. A lot of this role is built around consistency, repetition, and volume. If you’re chasing something highly creative or wildly different every day, this probably isn’t it.
  2. There’s a lot of structure and autonomy in the role, but commercial tendering also comes with deadlines. If you don’t handle that well, it might not be the right fit.
  3. If you struggle to take ownership, stay organised, and keep things moving without being chased, this probably won’t suit you.

 

We are also a Certified Great Place to Work™ so we genuinely offer a great company culture on the back of our Mykra Mindset values:

  • Built on Trust – own it and play your part.
  • We Win Together – success is a team effort.
  • Do the Work Proud – get the job done right.
  • Keep it Real – relationships matter most.

 

Apply: If you think we could be a good fit for each other, we’d love to hear from you. Because presentation matters in this role, we want your cover letter and resume to show us what you can do. If your application feels sharp, polished, and considered, that will absolutely stand out.
