  • Perform detailed quantity take-offs and apply the appropriate pricing strategy to ensure competitive and accurate estimates.
  • Document project-specific requirements, including acoustical performance, fire ratings, LEED, WELL, FSC, VOC, EPDs, and other testing criteria.
  • Evaluate all aspects of project scope that may impact cost, including potential omissions or unspecified details.
  • Provide value-engineered solutions when necessary to optimize project success and cost efficiency.
  • Collect and interpret data to continuously improve estimate accuracy for time, materials, and labor.
  • Collaborate with the Estimating Manager to align on quotation strategies and ensure consistency.
  • Deliver estimates on time and submit comprehensive quote/BID documents to all potential bidders for follow-up.
  • Partner with clients and managers to coordinate quotation, negotiation, and project closeout strategies.
  • Prepare submittals, samples, and testing documentation, while proactively clarifying delivery schedules and timeline expectations with project teams.

IS THIS JOB FOR YOU?

What do you bring?

  • Post-Secondary degree or diploma in Architecture, Construction Technology or equivalent technical field required.
  • 5-10 years of experience in an estimating role in the Architectural, construction or manufacturing industry.
  • Extensive experience estimating in a custom product environment, including custom wood products.
  • Experience working with Salespeople, GCs and distributors within the North American construction market.
  • Understanding of commercial construction and bidding process.
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting architectural drawings.
  • Ability to interpret/anticipate project compliance criteria such as LEED, FSC, VOC, EPD, CSA and ASTM
  • Strong independent problem-solving and organizational skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with customers according to tight deadlines and in a rapidly changing environment.
  • Sound knowledge of MS Office Suite, AutoCAD, BlueBeam or On-Screen Take-Off Software.
  • A track record of success that you're excited to tell us about
