Job description


MatchBox Consulting Group is looking for an Estimator on behalf of a well-established civil construction company.

This is a great opportunity for an estimator with experience in earthworks, underground utilities, and civil infrastructure projects. Reporting to a senior estimating leader, you will support a growing team by preparing competitive, detailed bids and working closely with operations through project handover.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare estimates for earthworks, underground utilities, and civil construction projects.
  • Review drawings, specifications, tender documents, and contracts to ensure full scope coverage.
  • Complete quantity takeoffs and develop labour, equipment, material, subcontractor, and production-rate pricing.
  • Prepare lump-sum and unit-rate estimates.
  • Obtain and assess supplier and subcontractor quotes.
  • Identify risks, scope gaps, value-engineering opportunities, and key bid assumptions.
  • Manage multiple bids and tender deadlines.
  • Support bid submissions, project handovers, cost reviews, and post-project analysis.
  • Collaborate with clients, consultants, suppliers, subcontractors, and internal project teams.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of estimating experience in civil construction.
  • Underground utilities and/or earthworks estimating experience.
  • Strong understanding of civil construction methods, sequencing, production rates, quantities, and costs.
  • Experience with both lump-sum and unit-rate tenders.
  • Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, contracts, and tender packages.
  • Strong Excel, quantity takeoff, and cost-estimating skills.
  • Experience with HeavyBid, AGTEK, or B2W is an asset.
  • Municipal infrastructure experience is an asset.
  • Highly organized, analytical, and comfortable working in a deadline-driven environment.

What’s Offered

  • Base salary of $80,000–$120,000, with flexibility based on experience.
  • Employer-paid benefits from Day 1.
  • RRSP matching.
  • Professional development and career-growth opportunities.
  • Mileage reimbursement or fuel card for approved vehicle use.
  • Onsite parking and a collaborative, safety-focused team environment.
