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.

-   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
