The Role

We’re hiring an experienced Civil Estimator who can take an estimate from the initial drawings and tender documents through to a complete bid submission.

The company is a family-owned general contractor based in Fort St. John, serving Northern BC since 1999 across civil, commercial, industrial, concrete, and infrastructure construction.

Responsibilities

Full-Cycle Estimating: Manage estimates from initial tender review through final bid submission.
Quantity Takeoffs & Costing: Complete detailed takeoffs and pricing for labour, equipment, materials, subcontractors, and suppliers.
Estimate Preparation: Prepare lump-sum, unit-rate, cost-plus, conceptual, and design-build estimates.
Drawings & Specifications: Review drawings, specifications, and tender documents to confirm scope, identify gaps, and understand project requirements.
Subcontractor & Supplier Pricing: Solicit, review, and incorporate subcontractor and supplier quotations.
Construction Planning: Work with Operations to determine sequencing, crew sizes, productivity, equipment requirements, schedules, and site constraints.
Risk & Contract Review: Identify estimating, contractual, construction, and site risks and account for them in the bid.
Bid Submission: Prepare tender forms, proposal documents, bid deposits, bonding and insurance requirements, schedules, and other submission documents.
Scheduling: Develop preliminary and critical-path schedules, milestone dates, and completion timelines for larger bids.
Site Review: Attend site visits and pre-tender meetings to identify site constraints and project challenges.
Estimating Data: Maintain and improve unit rates, historical costing, productivity information, and estimating tools.
Estimate Review: Compare completed project costs against estimates and use the results to improve future estimating accuracy.
Project Handover: Participate in estimate and project handover meetings with Operations.
Constructability & Alternatives: Review designs for cost effectiveness and recommend practical alternatives where appropriate.
Estimating Leadership: Maintain estimating standards, review estimates prepared by others, and support or mentor junior estimators as required.
Bid Strategy: Participate in bid/no-bid decisions and provide input on strategic pursuit opportunities.
Relationships: Work with clients, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, Operations, and Business Development throughout the estimating process.

Relevant experience may include:

Municipal water, sewer, and storm infrastructure
Underground utilities and site servicing
Road construction and reconstruction
Earthworks, excavation, grading, and base preparation

PREFERRED

Experience: Approximately 5+ years of civil construction estimating experience.

Comprehensive extended health, dental, life, and LTD benefits.
