Key Responsibilities of the RoleSB Canada is hiring a Senior Estimator to lead tender pursuits for our Major Projects group, which covers projects across Canada.

You will own each pursuit from start to submission: building the estimate, shaping the commercial strategy, managing risk, and bringing together the internal and external stakeholders needed to deliver a winning, profitable bid. When a project is awarded, you will lead the handover to the construction and project delivery teams and stay involved to support a strong start. This role suits a seasoned estimator who combines technical depth with commercial judgment and is comfortable presenting to senior leadership.
