Original job description
We are looking for more than someone who can prepare a bid.
The right candidate will understand how civil construction work is built, what drives production, where risk exists, and how strong estimating decisions contribute to successful project execution.
This is an opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio of civil construction projects while collaborating closely with experienced estimating, operations, and project management teams.
This is a Full-Time Permanent Position.

The Estimator will support opportunities across:
- Municipal infrastructure and roadway construction
- Earthworks and site development
- Asphalt paving and concrete
- Underground and surface works
- Commercial, industrial, and land development projects
- Preparing detailed quantity take-offs and cost estimates
- Reviewing drawings, specifications, contracts, and tender documents
- Developing labour, equipment, material, and production assumptions
- Obtaining and evaluating subcontractor and supplier pricing
- Identifying scope gaps, constructability issues, risks, and opportunities
- Supporting bid strategy and tender preparation
- Working closely with Operations and Project Management to align estimating assumptions with field execution
- Supporting project turnover from estimating into construction
- Minimum 5 years of civil construction estimating experience
- Strong understanding of civil construction methods, sequencing, and production
- Strong knowledge of labour, equipment, materials, and productivity
- Experience preparing quantity take-offs and detailed cost estimates
- Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, and tender requirements
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
- Ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines
- Sound commercial judgment and strong attention to detail
- Experience with estimating software and Microsoft Office
- Alberta civil construction experience is considered a strong asset
- Civil Engineer or C.E.T. an asset
Park Paving offers the opportunity to work with an experienced and established civil construction team across a broad range of project types.
This role provides exposure to the full project lifecycle, strong interaction with field operations, and the opportunity to contribute directly to how projects are pursued, priced, planned, and ultimately delivered.
We offer competitive compensation, benefits, professional development opportunities, and the opportunity to build a long-term career with a diversified Edmonton-based construction company.
If you are an experienced civil construction estimator who brings strong construction knowledge, practical judgment, and a desire to contribute beyond the tender submission, we would like to hear from you.
Successful candidates will thrive in a fast-paced, highly productive, and high-pressure environment. They will also have a strong drive to contribute to the team's success by working with estimators, operational leaders, suppliers, subcontractors, and other stakeholders to support a wide range of estimating and business development activities. Successful candidates will also be able to maintain a safety-minded and high accountability work culture while working with their direct supervisors and other employees while maintaining a positive and respectful work environment.
Successful candidates must pass a medical/fitness exam, as conditions of employment.
ANY MISREPRESENTATION OF YOUR QUALIFICATIONS DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS WILL RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION OF YOUR CANDIDACY.
