Job Title: Construction Estimator
Location: Oakville, ON (Onsite)
Employment Type: Full time | 40 hours per week
Reports To: Chief Estimator
Build Something That Actually Matters
Are you an ambitious estimator ready to step into a role where your work directly shapes real projects — not just spreadsheets?
This is an opportunity to join a growing, forward-thinking construction firm where your voice is heard, your expertise is trusted, and your career trajectory is taken seriously.
If you're looking for more ownership, more impact, and a team that genuinely values quality work — this could be the move.
About the Company
This established and fast-growing general contractor operates across design-build, construction management, and commercial project delivery.
With a strong reputation for quality, integrity, and craftsmanship, the business has built long-standing relationships across the ICI sector. Their success is driven by a simple philosophy:
Hire great people. Trust them. Continuously improve.
The culture is collaborative, performance-driven, and grounded in accountability — where strong teams deliver strong results.
The Opportunity
As an Estimator, you'll play a critical role in bringing projects to life — from early-stage budgeting through to post-award analysis.
You'll work closely with pre-construction, project management, and leadership teams to develop accurate, competitive, and strategic estimates across a diverse portfolio of projects.
This role offers exposure to complex work in the industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) space, with an initial focus on tenant improvements, interiors, and renovations , while also supporting larger builds.
What You'll Be Doing

- Develop detailed cost estimates based on drawings, specifications, and scope requirements
- Lead and manage tendering processes, including subcontractor outreach, bid analysis, and recommendations
- Prepare RFPs, RFQs, and full proposal submissions
- Collaborate with internal teams to define project scope and procurement strategy
- Conduct quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, and pricing exercises




- Build and maintain relationships with subcontractors, vendors, and trade partners
- Identify project risks and flag potential cost or scope concerns early
- Support post-tender negotiations and budgeting updates
- Assist in preparing preliminary construction schedules for estimating purposes
- Maintain and update internal cost databases and pricing benchmarks
- Work cross-functionally with project managers and field teams to ensure budget alignment
