Your Opportunity

As a Senior Estimator at Stantec, you will be responsible for developing, managing, and coordinating cost estimates for building and facility projects. You will work with a dynamic team of cost estimators, schedulers, and construction engineers in Stantec's estimating group. You will be a productive leader on the team and will be responsible for coordinating teams of discipline estimators, while estimating many project disciplines.

The position will have responsibility to support exciting, complex projects throughout the world ranging from approximately $1 million to $2 billion, including commercial, institutional, industrial, process-support, operations, maintenance, administrative, laboratory, warehouse, and infrastructure-adjacent facilities. The successful candidate will be responsible for the coordination and development of cost estimates and schedules for design teams at traditional project development milestones.

This role is intended for an experienced estimator with strong building and facility estimating experience, including architectural systems, structural steel and concrete, foundations, building envelope, interiors/finishes, and related multi-discipline coordination. Experience estimating industrial, commercial, institutional, operations, process-support, or infrastructure-adjacent buildings is strongly preferred. Multi-discipline estimating capability is a significant plus.

Stantec takes a measured approach to workplace flexibility and choice for employee’s workplaces. Our goal is to strike the optimal balance between providing flexibility, sustaining successful teams and optimizing productivity for the benefit of our employees, projects, and clients. We value a vibrant, healthy, enriching workplace culture that considers employee well-being and work-life balance so our people can bring their best to work every day.

Prepare detailed labor-force work plans for estimating activities.

Prepare basis of cost estimate report deliverables for the end user.

Establish site-specific estimating criteria including wage and person-hour productivity rates.

Perform thorough quality control of construction documents and provide design ideas and solutions.

Support vendor, supplier, and subcontractor pricing activities, including soliciting, reviewing, and incorporating quotations into comprehensive cost estimates.

Provide support for procurement, change and claims valuation and negotiations.

Prepare construction logistics plans.

Provide innovative solutions for construction, estimating issues and problems.

Interface with designated management and client counterparts for specific estimating tasks.

Identify, assess, and quantify project risks and opportunities, including potential cost and schedule impacts, and contribute to formal cost and schedule risk analyses as required.

Review design documents such as specifications and drawings to identify risks and opportunities related to competitive pricing for key project elements.

Prepare and coordinate constructability reviews for engineering designs.

Serve as the primary cost estimating point of contact for clients and external stakeholders, supporting clear communication, alignment on scope, and estimate defensibility throughout project development.

Maintain awareness of industry trends, best practices, and emerging estimating methodologies, applying lessons learned to improve estimate quality, efficiency, and competitiveness
