Compile quotes in PDF format ensuring accuracy, risk mitigation, and appropriate tagging prior to internal sign-off and client submission.
Ensure the accuracy of estimates through validation processes considering project type, timelines, internal capacity, and market conditions.
Collaborate with the project and operations teams to clarify scope, ensure feasibility, and support tender follow-ups as needed.
Stay informed of market trends and pricing shifts that may affect insulation cost structures and tender competitiveness.
Contribute ideas to improve estimation processes and tools as the business grows, especially in the NZ market.
Other role-specific duties as they arise.

Competent in Excel, PDF editors, and document formatting for professional quote submissions.
