Glazing & Cladding Estimator — Direct Bidding/Tendering Experience Required

Applicants must have previous experience personally preparing and submitting bids/tenders for commercial glazing and/or exterior cladding projects. General construction estimating, drafting, installation or project coordination experience alone does not meet this requirement.

We are seeking an experienced Glazing & Cladding Estimator who can independently manage the estimating and tendering process—from reviewing tender documents and completing takeoffs to obtaining supplier pricing, calculating costs and preparing complete bids for submission.

Direct bidding/tendering experience in either glazing or cladding is required. Experience in both is an asset.

Responsibilities

- Review architectural drawings, specifications, addenda and tender requirements
- Identify the complete glazing and/or cladding scope, including materials, accessories and installation requirements
- Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and prepare material, labour, equipment and installation costs
- Obtain, review and compare supplier and subcontractor quotations
- Prepare complete, accurate and competitive bids for tender submission
- Clearly identify inclusions, exclusions, qualifications, alternates and scope discrepancies
- Track drawing revisions and addenda, and incorporate changes into final bid pricing
- Review pricing and bid strategy before submission
- Manage multiple tenders and meet submission deadlines
- Maintain organized estimating files, supplier pricing and historical cost information




- Assist with handover of successful bids to the project team

Required Experience

- Proven experience personally estimating and tendering commercial glazing and/or exterior cladding projects
- Experience preparing complete tender pricing, including takeoffs, supplier quotations, labour costs and final bid submissions
- Ability to independently read and interpret architectural drawings, elevations, details and specifications
- Robust understanding of commercial tender requirements and submission procedures
- Ability to identify missing scope, drawing conflicts and potential cost risks
- Experience with Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD, PlanSwift or similar estimating and takeoff software
- Strong attention to detail, organization and communication skills

How to Apply

In your application, please include:

- The glazing and/or cladding systems you have estimated
- Your years of direct glazing and/or cladding bidding/tendering experience
- Two examples of projects you personally tendered, including the scope and your responsibilities in preparing the bid

This role requires someone who can independently prepare glazing and/or cladding tenders from the outset. Please apply only if you have direct bidding/tendering experience in at least one of these trades.

Pay: $50,000.00-$120,000.00 per year
