  • Participate in site investigations and pre-bid walkthroughs to evaluate access, logistics, and construction constraints
  • Price self-performed construction activities, including shotcrete, slope stabilization systems, grouting, drainage works, and concrete construction
  • Coordinate with engineers, project managers, and field leadership to confirm assumptions, methods, and production rates
  • Support bid submissions by meeting deadlines and complying with client and contract requirements
  • Assist with transition from estimating to construction by clearly documenting pricing logic, exclusions, and risks
  • Contribute to early-phase budgets and feasibility-level estimates for prospective projects
  • Help maintain cost histories, production data, and estimating standards to improve accuracy over time

WORK ENVIRONMENT

  • Combination of office-based work and periodic site visits
  • Use of computers, drawings, and digital documentation on a daily basis
  • Standard office conditions with occasional field exposure
  • Approximately 25% travel to project sites and meetings

  • Post-secondary education in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Technology, or a related field
  • Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills
  • Practical understanding of heavy civil construction activities, including earthworks, concrete, formwork, shotcrete, drainage, foundations, and retaining systems
  • General knowledge of construction sequencing, trade coordination, and means-and-methods
  • Strong computer skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Office tools
  • Willingness to work extended hours during active bid periods
  • Valid driver's licence

Preferred

  • Experience supporting or delivering design-build projects
  • Exposure to geotechnical or slope stabilization construction
  • EIT, P.Eng., or construction management certification
  • Familiarity with estimating platforms such as B2W

Benefits
