Application question(s):

Have you previously produced estimates for EV charging or ICP projects (e.g. substations, feeder pillars, HV/LV cabling, or car park groundworks)? Please give details. Please describe your level of understanding of civil engineering works relevant to EV charging projects. For example, trenching, ducting, reinstatement, and surfacing. Can you give examples of projects where you have estimated these types of works? Please describe your level of understanding of electrical works relevant to EV charging projects. For example, HV/LV connections, substations, metering, and feeder pillars. Can you give examples of projects where you have estimated these types of works? Would you describe yourself as more electrically biased, civils biased, or balanced across both disciplines? What experience do you have preparing cost breakdowns (materials, labour, plant, reinstatement) for both on-site and off-site works? Do you have experience factoring in street works requirements (e.g. permits, traffic management, NRSWA) into estimates? What is your approach to ensuring estimates remain competitive while still protecting project margins? Which systems, tools, or methods have you used to build, check, and present quotations? Can you give an example of a complex project you've estimated where both electrical and civil works were involved, and how you structured the costs? What experience do you have using AI or digital tools to support estimating and project workflows? Please describe how you have integrated these tools (for example, to speed up take-offs, automate cost checks, or streamline reporting), and give examples of where they have improved your efficiency or accuracy.
