Assign estimating resources, set internal milestones, and coordinate quantity take-offs, pricing, subcontractor and supplier quotations, and bid assembly.
Coordinate with Operations, Field, and Business Development teams to ensure constructability, schedule, and resource assumptions are reflected in each estimate.
Lead bid handover meetings with Project Management and Operations on awarded work.

Bid Review & Quality Control

Conduct a final review of every bid prior to submission to confirm scope coverage, pricing accuracy, inclusions and exclusions, and alignment with company margin targets.
Verify that estimates are complete, internally consistent, and supported by current cost data, productivity rates, and quotations.
Approve or escalate bid pricing, qualifications, and commercial terms in accordance with company authority limits.

Compliance Across All Entities

Ensure all bids and submissions meet client, contractual, bonding, insurance, prequalification, and regulatory requirements for each CapWest entity.
Maintain standardized bid checklists, templates, and sign-off procedures and ensure they are consistently applied across all divisions.
Keep accurate records of bid submissions, results, and lessons learned for each entity.

Reporting & Communication

Provide regular updates on bid status, workload, upcoming deadlines, and results to the Chief Operating Officer and the Director of Business Operations and Development.
Report on hit rates, margin trends, and estimating performance by division and recommend adjustments to pursuit strategy.
Communicate bid risks, resource constraints, and go/no-go recommendations clearly and in a timely manner.

Prioritization & Time Management

Assist leadership in prioritizing projects and pursuits based on strategic fit, capacity, risk, and probability of award.
Manage the estimating calendar across all divisions to balance workload, avoid conflicts, and meet all submission deadlines.
Allocate estimating time and resources to the opportunities with the greatest value to the company.

Process Improvement & Standardization

Develop, document, and continuously improve estimating processes, tools, and cost databases across all divisions.
Streamline workflows between Estimating, Business Development, Operations, and Accounting to reduce duplication and improve turnaround time.
Standardize estimating software, templates, and reporting formats across the CapWest Group of Companies.
Mentor, train, and develop estimating staff and support consistent estimating practices in every division.

Project Budget Tracking & Change Management

Monitor awarded project budgets against the original estimate throughout the life of each project and assist with reviewing variances by cost code and division.
Analyze actual costs, productivity, and buyout results at project milestones and close-out and feed the findings back into unit rates, cost databases, and future pricing.
Assist with identification, creation, and pricing of Change Orders, ensuring scope, cost, and schedule impacts are fully captured and consistent with the original estimate.
Follow Change Orders through to client approval, including supporting documentation, negotiation, and coordination with Project Management and Accounting on billing.
Participate in post-project reviews to compare estimated versus actual performance and document lessons learned.

Industry Relationships & Market Intelligence

Develop and maintain relationships with Chief Estimators and senior estimating staff at general contractors, owners, and key trade partners.
Stay connected to the ICI (Industrial, Commercial, Institutional) and Infrastructure market sectors to anticipate upcoming work, pricing trends, and client expectations.
Gather market intelligence on competitor activity, labour and material pricing, and sector conditions and share it with leadership to inform pursuit strategy.
Represent CapWest at industry associations, bid-related meetings, and pre-bid site visits as required.

Internal Coordination

Ensure visibility of all active and upcoming bids across all divisions.
Collaborate with the COO, Director of Business Operations & Development and Business Development Manager to align estimating effort with pipeline priorities and client expectations.
Build and maintain relationships with key subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants to support competitive pricing.

Strong knowledge of concrete forming, pumping, framing, exterior panel systems, drywall, and civil construction preferred.
