The Opportunity
We're looking for a Landscape Maintenance & Snow Estimator to lead the preparation of competitive tenders for commercial landscape maintenance and snow & ice management contracts.

Prepare detailed estimates for commercial landscape maintenance and snow & ice management contracts.

Coordinate and complete tender submissions through procurement platforms such as MERX, Biddingo, Bonfire, and other electronic bidding systems.

Analyze labour requirements, production rates, equipment utilization, subcontractor costs, materials, and overhead.

Attend site meetings and property walkthroughs to verify scope and identify pricing considerations.

Obtain pricing from suppliers and subcontractors.

Work with Operations to ensure estimates reflect realistic production rates and service expectations.

Identify risks, assumptions, exclusions, and opportunities before submission.

Ensure bids are complete, compliant, and submitted before deadlines.

Maintain estimating databases, production metrics, and historical pricing information.

Support continuous improvements to our estimating processes and tools.
