Original job description
I'm not hiring an estimator. I'm hiring the Leading Edge Estimator.
In 2008 I started Leading Edge Electric as one guy in a van. We've grown by doing commercial tenant and landlord improvements the right way. Our next step needs a leader who owns how we estimate and raises the bar for everyone around them.
The Leading Edge Estimator:
- Puts the customer first and loves working with them to find the best solution
- Doesn't settle for what's on the drawings
- Never says "that's what the software says"
- Identifies risk and communicates it early
- Is always learning, testing new tools and experimenting with AI
- Believes there's a better way, and goes looking for it
- Gets it done
You won't be handed someone else's system. You own it.
The process, the tools and the database are yours. If there's better software, a better workflow or a better way to use AI, you make the call and build it. You'll stay on jobs through completion, compare estimate vs actuals, and make our numbers sharper with real data.
You'll lead.
You'll challenge the people around you, hold them accountable, and develop the ones coming up behind you.
Year one success: our estimates are built on our own job data, customers trust our number, and the team is better because you're here.
You've walked the walk: Strong TI experience, and you can estimate on a napkin or in software. You can see the finished product before you start.
What you get:
- A real path into leadership
- Competitive Salary, Profit sharing, bonuses, RRSP, benefits and a vehicle allowance
- You report to our GM and get coaching from me
- Access to Special Ops, our program built to turn employees into owners
This isn't for everyone. If you want to follow the database and go home, this isn't your role. If you love your work and want it to build the life you want, let's talk.
There's no field vs office here, and no estimator vs PM. We win together.
Interested? Message me one thing you'd change about how most contractors estimate. That's your application.
