  • Support handover from estimating to project execution teams

  • Maintain estimating databases, historical cost data, and lessons learned




Qualifications & Experience






  • Minimum 5 years of estimating experience in underground utilities and earthworks

  • Strong understanding of:

    • Underground services (water, sewer, storm, deep utilities)

    • Earthworks, mass excavation, and site grading



  • Ability to read and interpret civil drawings and specifications

  • Proficiency with estimating software and MS Excel

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and time-management skills

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills




Preferred Assets

  • Experience with Alberta civil construction projects

  • Familiarity with unit-rate, lump-sum, and design-build tenders




What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on diverse civil infrastructure projects

  • Collaborative team environment

  • Long-term growth and development opportunities
