Looking for Philippines-based candidates

What We Offer

~1 min read

At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be formally employed through an ICA arrangement. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you’ll be able to work from home.

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:

✓Full time equivalent (approximately 36–40 hours per week).

✓Must be available during South Australian business hours (ACST).

The Production Estimator will support the company's residential construction operations by managing the post-sales estimation and procurement process for active builds. The candidate will work exclusively on production estimation once a job has been awarded and released into the build pipeline.

The role is process-oriented and volume-driven, requiring strong attention to detail, the ability to manage multiple jobs simultaneously, and familiarity with Australian residential construction workflows. The estimator will work closely with the onshore team.
