Interface and communicate effectively (written and oral) with the estimating team, with all levels of management, clients and industry contacts
Develop relationships with subcontractors and suppliers for pricing within estimates
Develop or assist in the development of general and project specific plans for execution, sequencing, and logistics (including, when required, construction and work procedures for specific activities related to a bid)
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.
