Senior Architectural Project Developer/Estimator

Senior Architectural Project Developer/Estimator Join to apply for the Senior Architectural Project Developer/Estimator role at EVENTSCAPE. Overview Imagine getting to see the AEC industry's most innovative, challenging, and provocative designs from leading edge architects, designers, and artists before they've been built. Now imagine that it's your job to shepherd them from sketch to buildable reality in a workplace that fosters creativity, champions problem‑solving and resourcefulness, and encourages the pursuit of new ideas. If this seems both exhilarating and fulfilling, Eventscape encourages you to consider the role of Senior Project Developer/Estimator in our business development team. WHO ARE WE? Eventscape is a global leader in the custom architectural fabrication space, thriving on challenging design and striving for innovation towards one shared goal: to “build the extraordinary”. We are the industry’s go‑to turn‑key partner for complex and cutting‑edge projects—engineering, fabricating, and installing an enviable portfolio of boundary‑pushing builds for architects, designers, developers, contractors, and artists. By refining design concepts; providing expertise on materiality, finishes, details, and fabrication methods; and embracing R&D as a critical part of each project, Eventscape is home to dedicated project managers, design detailers, engineers, fabricators, and installers. With state‑of‑the‑art machinery, including laser‑cutters, CNC brake‑formers, 3 and 5‑axis CNC routers, 5‑axis metal machining centers, industrial robot arms, and 3‑D printers—including dedicated equipment for concrete printing—Eventscape truly is an architectural toy factory. We bring together quality handcraft and advanced digital fabrication, investing heavily in both to unlock new possibilities for our clients. ABOUT THE ROLE Engage with clients (architects, designers, artists, developers, general contractors…) to understand their vision, absorb their priorities, and convey the challenges and opportunities associated with their designs. Enable the realization of projects that would otherwise seem too complex, too challenging, or too unrealistic to other fabricators. Shape the outcome of new projects by developing robust buildable approaches and establishing at the outset the most suitable means, materials, and processes to realize a client’s design. Develop complete RFP responses for a variety of procurement models including ROM, stipulated price, design assist, and design build. Determine costs for potential project opportunities, including allowances for materials, labour, design and engineering, administration, logistics, and installation. Foster relationships with material vendors and service partners to ensure competitive costing, stay abreast of new products, and increase knowledge and expertise. Collaborate closely with Eventscape’s in‑house designers, managers, and fabricators to ensure the most appropriate solutions are being pursued and the most accurate time allowances are being budgeted. Communicate proposed fabrication solutions through 3D illustrations, written descriptions, diagrams, sketches, and schedules. Mitigate risk through careful review of all provided bid documents—including tender instructions, drawings and written specifications, project schedules, pro‑forma contracts, logistics plans, and insurance requirements—to ensure the RFP response is complete and accurate. Act in a leadership capacity for junior and mid‑level team members, providing guidance, expertise, and insight. Seek opportunities to improve the project development and estimating processes, implement efficiencies, and refine strategies. Maintain involvement with projects once awarded, helping to ensure the client’s vision is carried through while ensuring the project adheres to agreed‑upon parameters and budgets are being followed. Participate in post‑project reviews to analyse project performance and gain insights into the real‑world application of those initial assumptions that formed the basis of the proposal. Track cutting‑edge industry developments and look for opportunities to apply new and innovative technologies, materials, and processes to Eventscape’s projects. Further Eventscape’s reputation as industry leaders and boundary pushers. Contribute to internal dialogue relating to corporate strategy, big‑picture planning, capital improvements, and new initiatives. ABOUT YOU An infectious passion for discovery, creativity, cutting‑edge design, and innovative fabrication. An understanding that the “magic” of a project’s design isn’t always in the exposed parts, but in unseen layers and innovative processes that make the complex simple, the heavy weightless, and the practical impossible. An insatiable curiosity for how things are made, coupled with an impulse to become an expert on newly discovered materials, finishes, details, and processes. 10 years’ experience in similar roles within the AEC industry. Relevant education in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, Architectural Technology, or similar. A broad understanding of construction/fabrication materials, techniques, and processes. Experience in interpreting architectural/construction drawings, written specifications, and contract documents. Proficiency in Rhino, Revit, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Excel. The ability to lead and effectively manage and mentor junior team members. Experience in design development for complex architectural projects. A practical knowledge of estimating strategies and techniques, construction tendering, and procurement processes. The ability to analyze and identify risks and opportunities. The ability to build strong relationships with clients, internal teams, and vendors. Well‑developed graphic presentation and writing skills. The audacity to embrace the unknown and the confidence to understand that while the answers might not be immediately apparent, they can be found through research, resourcefulness, and clever problem‑solving. WHY EVENTSCAPE? You will make meaningful contributions to projects at the forefront of architecture, art, and design.
