Develop or assist in the development of preliminary project schedules

Preferred Skills / Qualifications

Technical knowledge of utility / powerline construction
Demonstrated experience with InEight Estimating Software
Estimating experience projects ranging from $1M to $50M
3 years industry specific estimating experience
Experience in EPC estimating / execution and preparing written deliverables for bid submissions

Benefits

This position offers a base salary range of $90,000 - $130,000 annually, depending on experience and qualifications.

We offer a comprehensive and competitive total rewards package that incorporates a complete range of employee benefits, including a 5% RRSP matching program, to ensure you have the tools necessary to manage, maintain, and improve your health and wellbeing.
