About Soluroc
Soluroc is a growing Canadian manufacturer providing wear solutions to mining and industrial customers across Ontario and Québec. Our Sudbury Integrated Solutions team prices the custom, capital, and project-based work that wins us our most demanding jobs - and we're adding a Project Estimator to the team.
About the Role
Reporting to the Solutions Team Lead, you'll own the estimates behind our most complex opportunities. This isn't routine catalogue quoting - it's non-routine, project-specific work where accuracy, margin protection, and sound technical interpretation decide whether we win profitable work.
You will:
- Prepare detailed cost estimates covering materials, labour, equipment, subcontracted services, and logistics
- Analyze drawings, specifications, and customer scopes to define what a project really requires
- Identify risks and build appropriate contingencies into every estimate
- Support bids and proposals with clear, professional cost breakdowns and documentation
- Collaborate with Solutions, Engineering, Operations, Procurement, and Finance to validate estimates and obtain vendor pricing
- Maintain our cost database and historical estimate records, track estimate accuracy and win rates
- Recommend improvements to our estimating tools, methods, and processes
What Success Looks Like
Estimates within ±5% of actual cost. 95%+ delivered on schedule. A cost database the whole team trusts. Proposals that help us win 30–40% of what we bid.
What We're Looking For
- Diploma or degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field
- 2–5 years of experience in estimating, costing, or a similar role - industrial or construction environment preferred
- Strong understanding of cost drivers in labour, materials, and subcontracted services
- Ability to read and interpret drawings, technical specifications, and customer requirements
- Proficiency with estimating software, ERP systems, and Excel
- Strong numerical, analytical, and problem-solving skills, and a collaborative working style
- Experience in mining, construction, or industrial services is an asset
What We Offer
- Competitive salary of $65,000 – $85,000, based on experience
- Comprehensive group benefits program
- Retirement savings plan
- Training on our estimating tools, technical documentation, and cost-modelling methods
- A well-established, growing company where your estimates directly shape the work we win
