Job Description

PURPOSE OF POSITION

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Estimating, the Estimating Lead performs the core estimating process by reviewing tender requirements and preparing accurate material and labour estimates across all product lines for repeat customers and major capital projects.

Manage assigned bids to meet tender deadlines and quality requirements.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND DEPARTMENT SUPPORT

Review estimating workflows, tools, data, and controls to identify and prioritize opportunities for standardization, automation, and improved quality or efficiency.

Measure results using estimating accuracy, turnaround time, data quality, and compliance, and adjust processes where required.
Coordinate bid flow and resources based on complexity, urgency, risk, and available expertise, while maintaining complete and visible bid information.
Compare estimates with actual results, investigate variances, and incorporate lessons learned into costing assumptions, tools, and methodologies.
Partner with Sales, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and other divisions to support accurate estimating and effective change implementation.
Review estimators’ work and coach team members on estimating standards, tools, and updated processes.
Facilitate tendering meetings and provide departmental support when the Senior Manager is unavailable.
