Senior Transmission

4 months ago

Vaughan, Canada Valard Full time

Valard Construction LP is Canada’s premier powerline contractor, serving clients in both public & private sectors. We offer construction services in overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems, substations, fibre optics, as well as substation and transmission foundations.

Valard Construction LP is looking to hire a Senior Transmission & Distribution Estimator who will be responsible for compiling cost estimates to a client or potential client with products or services primarily for overhead distribution and transmission lines. He or she will do this by working out how much a project is likely to cost and create budgets accordingly. The job involves assessing material, labour and equipment required and analysing different quotes from sub-contractors and suppliers.

An estimator might work from a bill of quantities or just a set of drawings from the client. Estimators provide prices for everything from a one-off scheme to maintenance projects which will be completed over several years.

 An estimator is concerned with getting the best price that will win the contract in a competitive bidding situation, while ensuring that the contract can be carried out profitably. The best price isn’t always the lowest one, and clients now award contracts based on quality of the service offered, as well as cost.
