Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you'll be able to work from home.

  • Interpret drawings, specifications, and project requirements to produce detailed estimates
  • Communicate with clients through professional emails and calls when required
  • Maintain organized records and integrate the costing structure into the internal system
  • Take clear notes and ensure project information is accurately documented
  • Take ownership of the estimating function and work with minimal supervision

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of overall estimating experience and 2 years in kitchen and joinery estimating
  • Australian joinery industry experience
  • Experience working on residential projects, with some exposure to commercial or shopfitting
  • Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Proven ability to handle tenders and detailed project costing
  • Proactive, organized, and capable of managing responsibilities independently
  • Long-term mindset and commitment to contributing to the business

Work Arrangement & Expectations:

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

  • Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
  • Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
