Building Futures

Everyone is hiring Estimators so why is this opportunity different? It's not fact that they are a multi national that turn over in excess of $500m per annum, and it's not the fact that they dominate their sector, its not even the fact their staff retention is as good Ive seen. The reason why this opportunity is different is down to 4 fundamental values they live and breathe by. Teamwork, Integrity, Leadership and Excellence. They believe everybody should have the opportunity for success. Having worked with this business for 7 years and placed most of their Senior Management Team and assisted in hiring key members of staff, I know these 4 values aren't just buzz words but are genuinely  the foundation of the business and are demonstrated right from the MD to the Interns, in every office and on every site. If you are an experienced Estimator looking for a company you can grow with, improve with and progress with.  If you are looking to work with top people at the top of their game and with a Senior Management Team that is supportive, inspirational and ethical, please get in touch. stuart@building-futures.com.au  0412 932 874 Stuart Murray  #theconstructionrecruiter
