JOB OVERVIEW

About Comfort Heat
Comfort Heat is an established underfloor heating company based in Sydney, Australia, specialising in both electric and hydronic underfloor heating systems. We custom-design every project — from single bathrooms to whole-home systems — and pride ourselves on honest, expert advice and quality workmanship.
We already have a tea ---------- mber in the Philippines and are looking to grow our Filipino team. Our director has personally visited the Philippines twice and had more than 10 Filipino tea ---------- mbers in a previous business — so we understand remote work with Filipino professionals and genuinely value the relationship.

The Role
We're looking for a detail-oriented, tech-savvy Estimator to join our team full-time. You'll be preparing custom quotes and floor plan drawings for both electric and hydronic underfloor heating projects across Australia.
Every job we do is custom — based on the exact floor area and layout the customer wants heated. There are no cookie-cutter quotes here. You'll be working with real architectural plans, producing professional drawings, and preparing accurate quotes.
This is a role with real career progression. Once you've built your skills and product knowledge, you'll progress into a customer-facing role — communicating directly with clients via email and phone to deliver quotes, answer questions, and build relationships.

What You'll Be Doing
• Receive architectural plans and drawings from customers (PDF/image format)
• Snip/copy the relevant floor plan and paste it into Microsoft Visio
• Resize and scale the drawing accurately to match real-world dimensions
• Add measurements to confirm the drawing is to scale
• Calculate floor areas that need heating based on the layout
• Select appropriate heating products based on a basic understanding of electric and hydronic systems (training provided)
• Prepare detailed quotes using our Excel templates — every quote is customised to the specific project
• Over time, learn to prepare heating layout drawings in Visio — showing the placement of electric heating cable or hydronic pipe runs over the floor plan
• Progress into client communication — emailing and calling clients to deliver quotes and manage enquiries once you're confident and experienced

What We're Looking For
Must-Haves:
* Strong Microsoft Excel skills (formulas, templates, formatting — you need to be confident here)
* Understand and interpret architectural floor plans (ideally some previously drawing or CAD experience)
* Tech-savvy — you pick up new software quickly and are comfortable working across multiple tools
* Ability to read and interpret architectural floor plans
* Excellent attention to detail — measurements and calculations need to be spot-on
* Strong English communication skills (written and verbal — you'll eventually be speaking with Australian clients)
* Self-starter mentality — you take ownership, work independently, and want to smash through your workload
* Own reliable computer, stable internet connection, and a quiet workspace
* Available to work Sydney, Australia business hours (AEST/AEDT)

Nice-to-Haves (but not required — we'll train the right person):
* Experience with Microsoft Visio or similar drafting/drawing software
* Background in construction, drafting, estimating, or engineering
* Experience with scaling drawings or working with architectural plans
* Basic understanding of underfloor heating, HVAC, or electrical/plumbing systems


Who You Are
• You're a self-starter who takes ownership and smashes through your work
• You're organised and can manage multiple quotes without dropping the ball
• You're curious and eager to learn — the heating industry might be new to you, but you're excited to understand it
• You're reliable — you show up on time, communicate proactively, and follow through
• You're ambitious — you want to grow into more responsibility, not just stay in a box
