Join Vulcan Building Systems as a Quantity Surveyor / Sales Estimator, managing quotes, reading construction and building consent drawings, and using estimate software in a dynamic, growing team.

  • Coordinate with operations to schedule and dispatch orders efficiently (achieve full DIFOT)
  • Support the wider team and contribute to company growth

This role blends desk-based estimating with regular customer contact — you'll move between quoting software, drawings, and the phone throughout the day.

Requirements

  • Ability to read construction and building consent drawings
  • Experience using building estimate software
  • Experience in customer service and sales
  • Knowledge of, or experience in, the steel or construction industry (preferred)
  • Intermediate to advanced computer skills and strong numerical ability
  • A valid work visa or the right to work in New Zealand
  • Able to pass a pre-employment medical and drug screen

What's in it for you

  • A supportive team environment where your efforts are recognised
  • Long-term career opportunities in a stable, growing business
  • On-the-job training and development to help you succeed
  • Access to Vulcan's health and wellness programme, including a 24/7 on-site gym
