Description:
General Builder / Estimator – Take Your Career to the Next Level!
At Ken Hall, we don’t just offer jobs—we build long-term careers for skilled professionals who are ready to step off the tools and use their expertise in a new way.
Are you a builder, carpenter or insurance assessor who knows the trade inside out and wants to transition into an estimating role? Maybe you’re already an estimator but want to work for a company that values your skills, rewards your expertise, and offers real career growth. If that sounds like you, this could be the perfect opportunity.
We are looking for a General Builder / Estimator who is passionate about scoping, estimating, and setting projects up for success. In this role, you’ll work closely with clients to provide tailored building solutions, ensuring every job is accurately assessed, professionally quoted, and set up for smooth execution. Unlike other roles where you manage everything yourself, you’ll have the support of a dedicated install team to complete the works, a Trades Supervisor to ensure smooth project delivery, and an Install Coordinator to set the job up for success by ordering materials—so you can focus on what you do best.
With a team of over 150 professionals, Ken Hall offers stability, career progression, and the ability to upscale your earnings while working with one of South Australia’s most trusted names. You’ll be part of a company that supports your success, values your expertise, and provides a clear pathway for career advancement.

Presenting options to help customers make informed decisions
Ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations in all scopes of work
Building strong relationships with customers, subcontractors, and the install team
