Got strong technical knowledge but consider yourself an all‑arounder? Capwest Group is looking for an Estimator to support concrete work across our construction and manufacturing operations. You’ll split your time between Capwest Concrete & Pumping, where you’ll price forming, placing and pumping scopes for projects across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley with our concrete manufacturing and precast division.
