  • Strong proficiency with industry‑standard estimating software.
  • Exceptional analytical, numerical, and problem‑solving skills.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively across technical and non‑technical teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead, influence, and collaborate across functional and project environments.


Why Join?

  • Play a key role on a major North American capital project with long‑term impact.
  • Lead high‑value estimating activities that directly influence project success.
  • Work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary project environment.
  • Opportunity for professional growth on a complex, high‑profile development.
