A national general contractor has brought a Chief Estimator back into its Calgary office, someone who has already built and handed over estimating teams in several of the company’s other regions. His mandate here is the same one he’s executed before: raise the standard of the department, and build the people who will eventually run it. This role exists because of that mandate, not because of a vacancy.Duties include but are not limited to:Own bids end to end, from strategy through close, rather than being handed a takeoff package and a deadlineReport directly to the Chief Estimator, with no layer between you and the person setting the numberSit in on the go/no-go calls, not just the pricing that follows themWork a mixed pursuit diet across buildings: selective lump sum, construction management, design build, and cooperative contract modelsBe developed deliberately,



with a view to leading pursuits and eventually a teamAbout You The successful candidate will have the following:You’ve priced Calgary-area buildings work and you know which subtrades are currently reliable and which aren’tYou can defend your number in a room with operations and ownership without getting talked off itYou’ve carried a pursuit where the hard part was the strategy, not the arithmetic, and it was yours to ownYou want to be coached by someone better than you, and you’re honest enough to say soYou’re done being the department that only gets a phone call when the bid comes in highAbout the Job This search is confidential. Beyond the compensation, here’s what’s on offer:A Chief Estimator who has built successors elsewhere and intends to build one hereA department the business treats as a core capability, not an overhead lineA real answer to “what’s next,” with a defined path rather than a vague oneA group where the pressure is real and the room is still one you want to be inSalary Range: $120,000 to $150,000 + BonusWe truly appreciate your interest in this opportunity.
