  • Review and analyze subcontractor and supplier quotes, ensuring scope coverage and cost competitiveness.
  • Participate in bid reviews and presentations to senior leadership and clients.
  • Support business development by providing preliminary budgets, concept‑level estimates, and cost models during proposal and planning phases.
  • Ensure estimates comply with contract documents, company policies, and industry standards.
  • Stay current with market trends, pricing fluctuations, and labor and equipment productivity.

In‑depth knowledge of Ontario’s infrastructure market conditions and their influence on project costing.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
