Analyze drawings, specifications, and contract documents for accuracy.
Research material, equipment, and subcontractor pricing, and build relationships to secure competitive rates.
Identify project risks and opportunities during the bid process.




Coordinate with PMs and field supervisors on practical construction methods.
Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits, prepare bid submissions, and support client presentations.

What You Bring:
3+ years of estimating experience in civil construction; breadth across disciplines an asset.
Proven accuracy with quantity take-offs and the ability to read civil drawings and specs.
Strong understanding of civil construction methods — earthwork, grading, underground utilities, concrete, and site servicing.
Knowledge of applicable codes and standards for civil and underground infrastructure.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with B2W (Bid2Win) Estimating an asset.
Strong communication, organization, and time management.
Reliable transportation and ability to work in a rural location.
