Compensation range: $1,800 AUD - $2,000 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

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.

Who The Client Is: We are an Australia-based technical services business delivering tailored electrical and control solutions across a range of project environments. Operating with a small, experienced team, the focus is on practical delivery, safety, and long-term reliability rather than mass-market services.

Most work is custom-built to suit each project, with growth driven by repeat clients and consistent results. The business values clear processes, accountability, and people who take ownership of their work.

Role Overview: We are seeking an Electrical Estimating Project Manager to support estimating and project coordination activities for ongoing electrical works, including control systems and automation-related projects. The role works closely with senior team members, assisting with pricing, technical documentation, and take-offs to ensure estimates are accurate and well-structured.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Support electrical estimating activities, including take-offs and pricing inputs for control systems and automation projects
• Use estimating software and digital tools (including AI-assisted features) to improve accuracy and efficiency of take-offs and documentation
• Assist with extracting quantities, schedules, and scope details from drawings and PDFs
• Support cost analysis for labour, materials, and equipment under guidance from senior team members
• Assist with bid preparation and documentation (pricing support only, not final sign-off)
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders to clarify scope and project requirements
• Oversight of procurement and logistics relating to projects

Requirements

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in electrical engineering, electrical estimating, or control and automation environments
• Experience using electrical estimating and digital take-off tools (e.g., PlanSwift, Accubid, Bluebeam, or similar); exposure to project platforms such as Procore is a plus.
• Experience using Electrical CAD software; AutoCAD, SolidEdge, EPLAN preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of electrical systems, including LV power, switchboards, lighting, and control/automation systems
• Working Knowledge of Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Atmospheres (IEC 60079)
• Ability to interpret electrical, control, and automation drawings
• Strong attention to detail and structured documentation skills

Work Arrangement & Expectations:

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

To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:

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