Assist with the handover of successful projects from estimating to operations.
Maintain current knowledge of labour, equipment, material and subcontractor pricing.
Review historical project performance and costs to continuously improve estimating accuracy.
Contribute to the development and maintenance of estimating databases, production rates and cost information.

Experience & Qualifications

3 to 5+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil construction, earthworks, mining, oil sands or related industries.
Strong understanding of heavy civil earthworks and construction methodologies.
Experience estimating large-scale excavation, hauling, grading, embankments, reclamation and site development.
Strong understanding of heavy equipment operations, including excavators, dozers, graders, loaders and haul trucks.
