Job description

Estimator – ICI Construction (Design-Build Focus)
Salary: $80,000 – $95,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Location: Brantford, ON

We are working with a growing ICI general contractor delivering projects ranging from $5M to $12M across commercial and institutional sectors. With a strong pipeline of design-build work, they are looking to bring on an Estimator who can operate with a high level of autonomy and support the full pre-construction process.

This role is best suited for someone coming from a smaller to mid-sized contractor who is comfortable wearing multiple hats and working with limited internal support.

Responsibilities

You will be involved across the full estimating lifecycle, including:

  • Preparing cost estimates for ICI projects ranging from $5M to $12M
  • Reviewing drawings, specifications, and concept plans to develop accurate budgets
  • Supporting design-build pursuits by pricing off conceptual drawings and early-stage designs
  • Soliciting and analyzing subcontractor and supplier pricing
  • Assisting in the development and refinement of project budgets leading up to closing
  • Working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure scope coverage and cost alignment
  • Participating in value engineering and cost optimization discussions
  • Maintaining pricing databases and historical cost information

Requirements

  • 3–7+ years of estimating experience within ICI construction
  • Experience working on projects in the $5M–$15M range (ideal)
  • Exposure to design-build projects and conceptual estimating is highly preferred
  • Comfortable working in a lean team environment without junior estimator support
  • Strong understanding of construction methods, materials, and project sequencing
  • Ability to interpret drawings and develop budgets from incomplete information
  • Strong communication and organizational skills

What They’re Looking For

  • Someone not overly corporate or specialized — hands-on, adaptable, and practical
  • Comfortable taking ownership and stepping into multiple aspects of pre-construction
  • Experience with smaller to mid-sized GCs is a strong asset
  • A team player who can collaborate closely but also work independently

Compensation & Perks

  • Salary: $80K – $95K (based on experience)
  • Performance-based bonus
  • Full benefits package
  • Stable pipeline of work with consistent project flow
