  • Ensure that estimates reflect current costs and that the costing database is kept up to date.
  • Review completed projects vs. the estimates for improvement of the accuracy of future estimates.
  • Usage of Opportunity for Improvement (OFI) procedures.
  • May act as a project manager on small projects, as required.
  • Interact effectively within all levels of the WhiteWater team and external contacts relating to the Waterparks and Attractions business units and Project Services.
  • Execute responsibilities according to lawful and ethical standards.
  • Contributes to a culture of development/sustenance of Continuous Improvement and Lean philosophies.
  • Respect for people through positive communication, consideration and collaborative relationships.
  • Maintain and follow best practices for operations including Customer Service, Quality, Lean Management and Safety.
  • Define and align goals with departmental goals.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Math, statistics and analyst education and experience is highly valuable.

  • Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in construction or manufacturing estimating is preferred.
  • Able to create Bills of Materials and take-offs.
  • Able to read and interpret construction/engineering drawings.
  • Able to create estimates under pressure that are accurate and reflect the company's costs, using any and all information provided.
  • Experience with contract management would be an asset.
  • Must be comfortable with extensive use of Excel in creating and interpreting spreadsheets as well as MS Project; an understanding of Timberline (or similar pricing package) would be an asset.
  • Able to meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced, fun, and professional environment
  • Must be fluent in written and spoken English with the ability to write clear reports.
  • Willing and able to work outside of normal operating hours if requested on an as-needed basis.
  • Must be legally eligible to work in Canada.
