Woodhouse Contracting Inc.

Kitchener, Ontario | Full-time, Permanent

$85,000–$100,000 per year

At Woodhouse Contracting, successful projects begin with accurate pricing, thorough planning, sound judgment, and strong trade relationships.

We are looking for an experienced Commercial Construction Estimator to join our General Contracting team in Kitchener. You will take ownership of commercial and institutional construction estimates from initial tender review through quantity take-off, subcontractor pricing, bid leveling, final submission, and project handover.

This is an opportunity to work closely with construction leadership and project teams while helping secure and position projects for successful delivery throughout the Region of Waterloo.

What We Offer

Annual salary of $85,000–$100,000, based on experience
Full-time, permanent employment
Comprehensive health and dental benefits
Paid vacation starting at three weeks per year
Company-sponsored training and professional development
Varied commercial and institutional construction projects
A supportive and collaborative team environment
Long-term career development opportunities
The opportunity to contribute directly to the growth of an established local contractor

What You’ll Do

Tender Management and Estimating

Manage multiple commercial and institutional tenders while maintaining accuracy and meeting submission deadlines.
Review drawings, specifications, contracts, addenda, tender documents, and project requirements.
Complete detailed quantity take-offs and prepare comprehensive cost estimates.
Develop pricing for labour, materials, equipment, subcontracted work, overhead, contingencies, and other project costs.
Solicit, review, compare, and level subcontractor and supplier quotations.
Confirm that trade coverage is complete and competitively priced.
Prepare clear estimate summaries, pricing breakdowns, assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, allowances, and contingencies.
Lead the preparation and submission of complete, accurate, and professional bids and proposals.

Risk Evaluation and Pre-Construction Planning

Attend site visits, pre-bid meetings, and tender meetings as required.
Identify scope gaps, omissions, discrepancies, constructability concerns, procurement considerations, and project-delivery risks.
Evaluate factors that could affect cost, schedule, trade coverage, material availability, logistics, or project execution.
Identify value-engineering opportunities and practical alternative construction approaches.
Clearly communicate significant risks, assumptions, and recommendations during internal bid reviews.

Project Handover and Relationships

Maintain complete and organized estimating files, quotations, correspondence, and supporting documentation.
Support the handover of awarded projects to project teams, including scope, pricing assumptions, exclusions, risks, commitments, and subcontractor information.
Work collaboratively with construction leadership, project teams, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and clients.
Build and maintain professional trade and supplier relationships.
Stay informed about market conditions, construction costs, labour rates, material pricing, procurement practices, and subcontractor availability.

What We’re Looking For

Our priority is demonstrated commercial construction estimating experience and the ability to independently manage a busy tender workload with accuracy and sound judgment.

You may be a strong fit if you have:

At least five years of progressive construction estimating experience
Experience working in a General Contractor environment
Strong experience pricing commercial and institutional construction projects
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tenders and competing deadlines
Experience preparing detailed quantity take-offs, estimates, tenders, and proposals
Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, contracts, scopes of work, and tender documents
Experience reviewing and leveling subcontractor and supplier quotations
Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, labour requirements, subcontractor scopes, and tendering practices
The ability to identify scope gaps, constructability concerns, project risks, and value-engineering opportunities
Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and time-management skills
Clear and professional written and verbal communication
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, estimating software, and digital take-off tools
Experience with Bluebeam, BuildingConnected, Premier, or comparable construction platforms, which is considered an asset

A diploma or degree in Construction Management, Architectural Technology, Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying, or a related discipline is considered an asset. Equivalent industry experience will also be considered.
