  • Strong knowledge of drawings, specifications, scopes of work, subcontractor pricing, tender requirements, and project risk.
  • Experience estimating larger or complex commercial construction projects.
  • Ability to review estimates prepared by others and identify scope gaps, pricing issues, and commercial risks.
  • Strong communication, organization, and decision-making skills.
  • Ability to work full-time from the company’s Fraser Valley office.

  • Formal education in construction management, engineering, quantity surveying, or a related discipline.
  • Established relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley.
  • Experience supporting project handoff from estimating into operations.



Key Responsibilities


  • Lead the day-to-day operations of the estimating department.
  • Manage, support, and develop a small team of estimators and estimating support staff.
  • Personally estimate the company’s larger and more complex commercial projects.
  • Review estimates and tender submissions prepared by other members of the team.
  • Establish clear estimating standards, expectations, processes, and quality controls.
  • Coordinate bid strategy, scope reviews, subcontractor coverage, pricing, and tender submissions.
  • Review drawings, specifications, addenda, contracts, and tender requirements.
  • Identify scope gaps, exclusions, assumptions, constructibility concerns, and project risks.
  • Work with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain complete and competitive pricing.
  • Review unsuccessful bids and lead post-bid analysis to improve future results.
  • Work closely with business development, project management, and senior leadership.
  • Support the handoff of successful projects from estimating into operations.
  • Coach team members and provide practical technical guidance.
  • Improve accountability, consistency, and communication across the estimating department.
