About the Opportunity

We now have an exciting opportunity for a full-time Mechanical Estimator/Technical Officer to join our team, working out of our office in Gladstone, QLD.

Reporting to the Technical Service Manager, you will be working within the Engineering and Internal Sales departments to stabilise and fine-tune processes in support of business development activities. 

This role places a strong emphasis on mechanical expertise and estimation skills, as you will be responsible for estimating the manufacturing and refurbishment of pumps, valves, and gearbox overhauls, along with other mining assets. By driving timely delivery and increasing business profitability through your technical knowledge, you will play a critical role in optimising processes that support business development activities.

Some of your day-to-day tasks will include (but are not limited to):

• Create quotes and estimates accurately and promptly;
• Communicate with clients about their project requirements and provide cost estimates;
• Review customer design proposals and evaluate the feasibility of requests;

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have a relevant mechanical trade qualification in Fitting & Turning and five years' of post-trade experience. You will also have demonstrated knowledge of mechanical refurbishment and the proven ability to understand and interpret complex mechanical manufacturing drawings and standards. Although not essential, previous AutoCAD experience is highly advantageous.

At Berg Engineering, we are looking for a positive and energetic individual with strong problem-solving, decision-making, and effective project planning and implementation skills. Ideally, you will be a lateral thinker who has a knack for "thinking outside the box" and who can see several ways to engineer something.

As you will be required to liaise with a wide range of stakeholders, you are an avid communicator with strong interpersonal and stakeholder engagement skills. You will also be a good relationship builder with a strong customer service attitude and a hardworking ethic, with the ability to deal with people across all levels of the organisation.

In return for your hard work and dedication, you will receive a highly attractive salary of up to $120,000 (commensurate with skills and experience) PLUS super and relocation assistance for the right candidate.

With regular special events for our people, you can also benefit from a lifestyle package that includes FREE access to golf, gym facilities, and movies, ensuring you can make the most of your leisure time.
