About Pryco Global:
Pryco Global Inc. is an Edmonton-based engineering and project management consulting firm serving public and private clients across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

The Role:
We are looking for a detail-oriented, organized Quantity Surveyor / Proposal Coordinator to join our Edmonton team. This role has three parts.

- Prepare compliance matrices, track addenda and Q&A;, and confirm all mandatory forms, insurance, WCB and signatures are in place.
- Write, format and proofread proposals: methodology, work plans, schedules, team CVs, project sheets and references, using and maintaining a reusable proposal content library.
- Prepare fee proposals and pricing forms in coordination with project leads.
- Submit proposals electronically or in hard copy before deadlines, and keep submission records.
- Request debriefs, record results in a win/loss log, and report bid activity and win rates to management.
2. Cost Estimating
- Prepare Class D to Class A construction cost estimates for new construction, renovation and capital renewal projects across building types, including commercial, institutional (schools, health care, government), multi-family residential and light industrial.
- Perform quantity take-offs from drawings an d specifications using Bluebeam, CostX, PlanSwift or similar software.
- Structure estimates in UniFormat II and MasterFormat, and price using RSMeans, historical data, and contractor and supplier quotes.
- Prepare repair and renewal cost tables for Facility Condition Assessments (FCA) and Property Condition Assessments (PCA).
- Maintain Pryco’s cost database and adjust for location, escalation and market conditions.
3. Loan Monitoring / Lender QS Reports
- Review project budgets, construction contracts, schedules, permits and drawings at loan initiation, and prepare initial cost review (budget adequacy) reports for lenders.
- Conduct monthly site visits to observe and photograph construction progress.
- Review contractor progress draws and invoices against work in place, and recommend draw amounts to the lender.
- Track change orders, contingency use, cost-to-complete and schedule status.
- Verify statutory holdbacks, lien searches, statutory declarations and insurance in line with the Alberta Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act.
