Overview

Our client, a well-established and growing construction company based in Burnaby, BC, is seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to join their leadership team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in securing complex construction projects while working alongside an experienced management team in a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment.

Reporting to senior leadership, you'll lead the estimating process from initial tender through pre-construction while helping shape project strategy and supporting future business growth across Western Canada.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the preparation of detailed cost estimates, tender submissions and pre-construction activities for complex construction projects.
  • Review drawings, specifications and contract documentation to identify project scope, opportunities and potential commercial risks.
  • Complete detailed quantity take-offs and develop accurate labour, equipment and material pricing.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors and industry partners while identifying future business opportunities.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of estimating experience within construction, ideally involving structural steel, industrial or heavy civil projects.
  • Proven ability to prepare competitive estimates for medium to large-scale construction projects.
  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to identify project risks and develop practical solutions.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
  • Degree or diploma in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or a related discipline is considered an asset but is not essential.

What's In It For You

  • Competitive salary of $100,000–$140,000, depending on experience.
  • Comprehensive benefits package, RRSP matching and generous paid vacation.
  • Flexible hybrid working environment with a supportive and collaborative leadership team.
  • Opportunity to influence major construction projects while contributing to the continued growth of an established business.
  • Long-term career progression with increasing responsibility and leadership opportunities.
