Job description

What is the Opportunity?

Safer. Faster. Smarter. This is how Aecon Utilities is committed to delivering projects. Aecon Utilities is a leading North American utility infrastructure provider with a strong track record delivering safe, reliable and innovative solutions across electrical, telecommunications, pipeline distribution and renewable energy markets. With operations across North America, Aecon Utilities supports critical utility infrastructure that powers and keeps communities connected. Guided by our core value of Safety Always, we partner with clients to build the infrastructure that powers the future.

Aecon Utilities is currently hiring an Estimator to support work in Hamilton, ON. This role is open to candidates at the Junior through Intermediate level (1–7 years of experience) and will focus on plan interpretation, quantity take‑offs, productivity‑based estimating, and estimate development using InEight (Hard Dollar).

The scope of responsibility and level of independence will align with the successful candidate’s experience.

The Hamilton LRT Alliance has been selected by Metrolinx as the development partner for the Hamilton LRT – Package 1: Civil & Utilities. Under the alliance model, Aecon provides construction capability and resources as part of an integrated team, working collaboratively with all alliance participants to progress design, cost, and construction schedules during the project’s development phase.

The Hamilton LRT isn’t just a transit project—it’s reshaping how a city connects, grows, and moves. Join us in being part of a dynamic team building critical infrastructure that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come!

What You'll Do Here:

  • Read and interpret contract drawings, specifications, and technical documents.
  • Perform detailed quantity take‑offs and volume calculations from first principles.
  • Develop and maintain quantity logs and estimate back‑up documentation suitable for construction handoff.
  • Support or develop work breakdown structures aligned with construction sequencing.
  • Input quantities, crews, equipment, and pricing into InEight (Hard Dollar).
  • Develop crew build‑ups, equipment spreads, and productivity rates as experience allows.
  • Incorporate addendums, RFIs, and scope or design changes into active estimates.
  • Solicit, review, and analyze subcontractor and supplier pricing.
  • Coordinate with construction and project teams to validate estimating assumptions.
  • Participate in site visits as required to support estimate accuracy.
  • Assist with preparation of control budgets and estimate handoff to construction teams.
  • Provide guidance or informal mentorship to junior team members as applicable.

What You Bring to the Team:

  • Post‑secondary education in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
  • 1–7 years of experience in estimating, construction engineering, or cost control.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.
  • Demonstrated experience completing quantity take‑offs (complexity aligned to experience level).
  • Understanding of productivity‑based estimating and construction sequencing as experience progresses.
  • Experience using InEight / Hard Dollar or similar estimating software preferred.
  • Strong proficiency with Excel and MS Office.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative team environment.
  • Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven setting.

Salary: The expected salary for this position is $60,000 - $75,000 annually.

Individual pay is determined based on several factors such as work location, education, experience and unique skills.
