Estimator, ICI - Permanent - 19649
About The Opportunity
Most estimating desks get busy after the win. This one is already pricing the next wave. Our client has just been awarded a run of new ICI projects, and they're adding estimating capacity ahead of the work rather than scrambling behind it.
They're a Greater Toronto Area general contractor pricing institutional, commercial, retail, healthcare, and mission-critical and data centre buildings in the $50M to $100M+ range, much of it ground-up. They've delivered across Ontario for a long time, and over the last few years they've deliberately assembled a leadership group built to execute complex work. The result is a firm that's busy and, by its own read, only getting busier. That growth is why this seat exists. It's an addition to a team winning more than it can currently price, not a backfill for someone who left.
Duties include but are not limited to:
- Pricing major ICI pursuits from $50M to $100M+, from early budgeting through tender close and contract letting. The portfolio does not repeat itself
- Take-off and pricing of self-perform scope, plus subcontractor and supplier solicitation on ground-up work
- A real mix of hard bid and alternative delivery, including P3 and design-build, where you are inside the pursuit from early design rather than reacting to a finished set
- Carrying your pursuits end to end: quantity take-off, trade scope, subcontractor coverage, constructability input, and presenting your number to leadership yourself
- Working directly with the client, consultants, and the project team who will build the job, not passing a number over a wall
- Making the risk and opportunity calls on your estimates: where the competitive edge is, where the exposure sits, and how to close the number
About You
The successful candidate will have the following:
- You have priced ICI buildings at a general contractor or construction management firm, and you have carried real pursuits end to end, not slices of them
- Large ground-up ICI work is where you are strongest; here it is the job, not a nice-to-have
- You have worked at least one model where the price was not locked at bid close: P3, design-build, or another alternative delivery model, and you know how the numbers move differently under each
- You read the drawings and the risk before the review does, and you can defend every line of your number
- You are motivated to win the work, and you keep subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and internal staff pulling toward the same milestones
- You communicate cleanly and will argue constructability with a project manager before the number is locked
About The Job
- Based in their Greater Toronto Area office. This estimating group works as a team, not an inbox
- A department that already works. You are added to capacity, not brought in to repair something
- A leadership group assembled specifically to navigate complex execution, making the pursuit calls and accountable for how the jobs finish
- Continuity from estimate through construction, so you find out whether you were right
- The chance to support a growing team of experienced construction professionals in a genuinely collaborative environment
- Salary Range: $110,000 to $145,000, plus bonus potential, RRSP matching, travel, and full medical benefits
