Job description
Who We AreNot just built for today. Building for tomorrow. DIRTT is a global leader in industrialized construction. Our system of physical products and digital tools empowers organizations—alongside construction and design leaders—to build high-performing, adaptable interior environments. Operating across workplace, healthcare, education, and public sector markets, DIRTT provides total design freedom and greater certainty in cost, schedule, and outcomes. We are a highly motivated group of individuals who embrace the company’s entrepreneurial spirit. Everyone is hands-on, regardless of role. We celebrate our successes together, work hard, have fun, and treat one another with respect. Who You Are The Cost Estimator is responsible for translating customer requirements, conceptual designs, and early-stage solutions into accurate, risk-informed cost models that enable confident commercial decisions. This role sits at the front end of the value chain within the Solutions Design ecosystem and plays a critical role in shaping deal quality, pricing strategy, and project viability. The Cost Estimator partners closely with Commercial, Solutions Designers, and Project Executives to ensure that every opportunity is grounded in realistic cost assumptions, aligned to product capability, and reflective of operational constraints. What You’ll Do Cost Modeling & Estimate Development
  • Develop detailed cost estimates based on conceptual designs, specifications, and customer requirements
  • Translate design intent into material, labor, and complexity-based cost structures
  • Build and maintain standardized costing models for repeatable solutions
  • Ensure estimates reflect current pricing, production capabilities, and supply chain realities
Commercial Decision Support
  • Partner with Project Executives and Solutions Designers to support bid strategy and pricing decisions
  • Provide scenario modeling (e.g., value engineering options, scope adjustments, alternates)
  • Quantify cost impacts of design changes in real time during the pursuit phase
  • Support margin analysis and alignment with target financial outcomes
Risk Identification & Quantification
  • Identify cost, scope, and execution risks early in the opportunity lifecycle
  • Apply risk factors or contingencies based on project complexity and uncertainty
  • Flag gaps in design definition or assumptions that may impact downstream execution
  • Contribute to opportunity risk scoring in partnership with Project Management
Cross-Functional Alignment
  • Collaborate with Design and Order Engineering to validate assumptions
  • Ensure alignment between estimated scope and what can be executed operationally
  • Support handoff into Order Engineering with clear documentation of assumptions and inclusions
  • Participate in design reviews to ensure cost discipline is maintained
Data Integrity & Continuous Improvement
  • Maintain estimate accuracy tracking (estimated vs. actual cost performance)
  • Continuously refine cost models based on historical project data and lessons learned
  • Identify cost drivers and opportunities to reduce solution variability and improve predictability
  • Contribute to standardization of assemblies, kits, and product configurations
Key Outcomes (What Success Looks Like)
  • Estimate Accuracy: High correlation between estimated and actual project costs
  • Margin Integrity: Projects are sold within target margin ranges with minimal erosion
  • Risk Visibility: Key risks are identified and quantified before project award/contract
  • Cycle Time: Estimates delivered quickly enough to support competitive pursuits
  • Downstream Stability: Minimal cost-related surprises during Order Engineering and Manufacturing
What You’ll Bring Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Finance, or a related field Relevant certifications such as Certified Professional Estimator (CPE) or LEED accreditation are a plus
  • Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in construction cost estimation, preferably in prefabricated construction or a related field
  • Proficiency in construction estimating software (e.g., ProEst, PlanSwift, Bluebeam), AutoCAD, and Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Project)
  • In-depth understanding of construction processes, prefabrication techniques, building codes, and regulations
  • Strong analytical and mathematical skills, with the ability to interpret complex project documents and data
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present estimates and reports effectively
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
What’s In It for You
  • Competitive base salary plus a variable pay (bonus) program
  • Eligibility to participate in DIRTT’s Employee Share Purchase Plan
  • For in-office roles: continental breakfast, coffee, tea, soda, daily hot cafeteria lunch, and snacks
  • Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Disability and insurance benefits, including short- and long-term disability, life insurance, dependent coverage, and voluntary options (may vary by location)
  • Mental health and wellbeing support, including an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • A thorough and supportive onboarding program designed to set you up for success
