Estimator / Financial Coordinator

Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Estimator / Financial Coordinator

Compensation range: $2,000 AUD - $3,000 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 8 AM - 4 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is: Our client is a growing electrical company based in Sydney, delivering high-end residential projects (around 60% of work) alongside commercial builds. The business works on everything from day-to-day electrical requirements and property upgrades to larger renovations, new builds and specialised installations.

Role Overview: We are looking for an Estimator / Financial Coordinator to take ownership of project estimating, day-to-day financial administration and business support. You’ll prepare estimates and quotes for residential and commercial projects, manage bookkeeping and invoicing, support builders and clients, and help improve workflows and efficiency through AI and other tools.

This is a hands-on opportunity for a proactive professional who wants to take initiative, grow the role and become a trusted right hand to the leadership team. The role combines estimating and back-end business support, giving you the opportunity to take ownership of pricing work upfront while helping keep the business organised, efficient and running smoothly behind the scenes.

Business Support & Optimisation

• Be available by phone during Australian business hours to support technicians and the team with certificates, quotes, and general queries
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows and reduce repetitive manual tasks using AI tools
• Bring ideas and initiative to the role - this is an opportunity to shape responsibilities over time.
