Precast HQ – Westgate, Auckland

Full Time

• In office

• Construction / Civil & Infrastructure

Precast HQ is growing fast, and we’re looking for an experienced Precast Estimator who understands how precast is actually built, not someone who just plugs numbers into a spreadsheet. If you’ve got 3+ years of real precast estimating experience, we want to talk.

About Us

Precast HQ manufactures everything from architectural and structural precast through to large civil products including box culverts, chambers, channels, and custom elements used across NZ.

We’re a practical, fast‑moving team with big ambitions and no corporate fluff, just good people doing great work.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for preparing accurate and efficient detailed precast estimates across both civil and structural projects.

You’ll Be Doing

Pricing precast civil, structural, and architectural projects

Reading and interpreting structural & civil drawings

Completing accurate take-offs (concrete, reinforcement, cast‑ins)

Reviewing specs, PS documents, and tender packages

Preparing clear and professional tender submissions

Identifying risk, buildability issues, and margin exposure early

Working with production, commercial, suppliers, and engineers

Managing steel, hardware, transport and material pricing

You must be confident working independently and meeting tender deadlines.

About You (Non‑Negotiable)

3+ years precast estimating experience

Strong understanding of reinforcement, concrete behaviour, and precast manufacturing

Ability to confidently read and visualise structural/civil drawings

Accurate, efficient, and commercially aware

Strong Excel and digital take-off skills

NZ experience

You take pride in backing your numbers, no guesswork.

Bonus Points

Knowledge of NZS 3101 / NZS 3109

Experience working closely with a precast production team

Familiar with buildability reviews and design coordination

What You Won’t Be

❌ Someone needing handholding on precast fundamentals

What You’ll Get

Competitive salary depending on experience

A growing civil division with genuine opportunity

Direct access to decision-makers

A practical team that actually builds what we price

A supportive, fast-moving environment with autonomy

Based in Westgate, Auckland.
