Candidates must have been the lead or sole estimator responsible for full project estimates from concept through submission, with accountability for all scopes, trade pricing, bid strategy, risk review, and final submission. Experience focused primarily on a single trade, discipline, quantity takeoffs, or estimating support functions is not sufficient.

You’ll join a company that’s pioneering the collaborative superstar: Integrative Project Delivery (IPD) in Canada, with projects that truly move the needle on collaboration and innovation in construction.

Project sectors: Commercial, institutional, residential, recreation centres, and healthcare, long‑term care.

Solicit competitive bids, negotiate with subcontractors/suppliers, and conduct value‑engineering reviews
Provide constructability advice during pre‑construction, coordinating with operations teams on procurement, schedule, and logistics
Track estimated vs. actual costs, report variances, and support lessons learned for continuous improvement
Build and maintain exceptionally strong relationships with subtrades, consultants, suppliers, and all of our valued clients

Qualifications

Minimum requirements:

Ten or more years of experience in commercial construction estimating
Minimum of 5 years of experience estimating for a general contractor not self performing developer
Proven experience leading complete building estimates from concept through submission for complex commercial, institutional, healthcare, residential, recreational, or mixed-use developments.
Able to clearly present complex cost data and influence decisions
Post-secondary degree or diploma in construction/engineering or an appropriate field
CEC designation (CIQS); Preferred: PQS designation
Strong organizational, prioritization, and process discipline; advanced Excel and cost-estimating software proficiency
Organized & Detail-Oriented: thrives under tight deadlines, balancing multiple priorities
Analytical & Technically Strong: proficient in reading drawings/specs and in cost modelling
Collaborative: excels in consensus-building within diverse project teams
Communicative: confident in presenting and defending cost recommendations
Industry‑Savvy: understands market conditions, supply chains, and sector‑specific complexities
