How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    Liaising with suppliers and subcontractors

    Supporting value engineering exercises

    Assisting with bid presentations and handovers

    Working closely with commercial and operational teams

    The Estimator

    To be considered, you should have:

    Experience as an Estimator within groundworks, RC frames or civil engineering

    Strong measurement and take-off capability

    Health insurance

    Additional holidays for long service

    On-site gym facilities
