Estimator for Australian Client (PART-TIME)

Manila, National Capital Region

Posted 3 days ago

Company:: Skyedesk
Company Description:: SkyeDesk was born after its founders and associated companies developed deep experience in outsourcing. We had the same problem your company does — we needed to grow flexibly, at our own pace, without reducing quality or productivity. In fact, we wanted to increase our productivity and quality. So we connected our talent to all the talent available overseas. The misconception that a business adds lower quality employees simply due to location prevents a lot of expansion, or requires all of the risk of expansion to be taken on in-house. Then, when problems occur, businesses aren’t nimble enough to navigate successfully.
Contract Type:: Remote
Experience Required:: 3 to 4 years
Education Level:: Bachelor’s Degree
Gender:: Any
Number of vacancies:: 1
