About the Opportunity
Aeolus Staffing Solutions is recruiting a Junior Dewatering Estimator / Project Coordinator on behalf of an established company specializing in construction dewatering and groundwater-management solutions.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with an educational or early-career background in civil engineering, environmental engineering, geological engineering, hydrogeology or geotechnical studies.
Previous dewatering experience is an asset, but it is not mandatory. Our client is prepared to provide extensive training to someone who has a strong technical foundation, a practical mindset and a genuine interest in learning the industry.

- Interpreting groundwater levels, soil conditions, excavation depths and proposed construction activities
- Assisting with the preparation of budget quotations, estimates and technical proposals
- Helping identify appropriate dewatering methods, equipment and treatment requirements
- Reviewing project drawings, charts, site plans and technical information
- Supporting the development of project scopes, assumptions, exclusions and pricing
- Communicating with clients, contractors, consultants and internal project teams
- Requesting and organizing information required to prepare accurate quotations
- Assisting with equipment, labour, transportation and material cost estimates
- Participating in site visits when required
- Maintaining organized project files, quotation records and supporting documentation
- Following up on submitted quotations and assisting with project handovers
- Developing an understanding of applicable environmental requirements and groundwater-discharge considerations
What We’re Looking For
- Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydrogeology, Construction Engineering Technology or a related discipline
