**BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATOR**
**WHO WE ARE**:
StructureCraft is a unique, vertically integrated design-build company of 200 structural engineering and construction professionals that specializes in timber structures, incorporating steel, glass, concrete and other materials.
Since our beginning in 1998, we have pioneered award-winning solutions to help create carefully detailed building and bridge structures in timber, steel, glass, and concrete in which people the world over love to work and play.
We are rooted in our mission of “making beautiful structures possible,” which harnesses both traditional principles and paradigm-shifting innovation to bring the inherent properties of materials to their highest use. As a firm of master engineers and timber construction experts with offices in Canada, US, and Italy, we partner with world-renowned developers, owners and architects as the Engineer-of-Record to create structures that are elegant in their own right, and also serve the greater good of a community.
Our head office and shop is located in the beautiful Fraser Valley, just an hour east of Vancouver, and close to the growing Abbotsford airport. Our US office is located in Seattle, WA and European office in Trento, Italy.

In addition to estimating, you will have opportunity to speak with clients, attend tradeshows and collaborate across company departments. As we are typically working in a design-build manner, some engineering (structural) knowledge will be an asset to the position.

- Correspond with architects, contractors and owners/developers to provide information, pricing, and samples.
- Develop understanding of mass timber market including suppliers, costing, availability, species, lead times, etc. Use this to inform your judgment in developing quick estimates.
- Respond and communicate promptly and consistently, with a sense of urgency.
- Develop and maintain estimate and proposal templates.
- Track market fluctuations and communicate key findings internally and externally.
- Scope incoming opportunities and summarize key project information for internal review.
- Develop and grow estimating proformas & database. Develop and grow key supplier information, contacts and costing database. Organize past project data into useful charts and KPIs.
- Lead visitor tours of our shop, and the DLT manufacturing line
- Create fabrication orders for product samples and coordinate delivery to clients.
- Lead project handover meetings for awarded projects.
- Use and grow your skills for estimating in spreadsheets and software (Bluebeam, Excel, 3D programs, etc).
- Develop and maintain detailed knowledge of the Company’s products and services.
**POSITION REQUIREMENTS**:
- Undergraduate education (eg. Bachelor’s or Diploma) in technical studies or Engineering.
