Our client is looking for a Senior Estimator to play a central role in analyzing tenders, evaluating costs, and preparing complete submissions in the context of large-scale projects. Reporting to the large projects management, the ideal candidate will directly contribute to the quality of submissions, risk management, and project profitability. This is a strategic role for someone capable of taking ownership of their files with autonomy, rigor, and judgment, in a growing, concrete, and results-oriented environment. This position is within an organization recognized for its innovative approach to construction, its execution capability, and its willingness to improve industry standards.
Main Responsibilities
- Analyze plans, specifications, addenda, and tender documents
- Correctly interpret technical specifications and project requirements
- Prepare complete, structured, and coherent estimates for multi-residential and institutional projects
- Evaluate all project costs, including labor, materials, contingencies, insurance, rentals, and other related costs
- Estimate portions not directly related to modular manufacturing, including foundations, utility connections, building mechanics, fire protection, landscaping, parking, masonry, exterior cladding, and interior finishes
- Request quotes from suppliers and partners
- Compare received bids and validate the quality of submissions before submission
- Collaborate with internal teams to optimize proposed solutions
- Suggest alternatives for materials, methods, or approaches to improve feasibility and profitability
- Participate in the continuous improvement of estimation tools, methods, and systems
- Contribute to the evolution of practices in a context of transformation and growth
Desired Profile
- A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in estimation in the construction sector
- Experience in multi-residential, institutional, commercial, or wood construction
- An excellent ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and tender documents
- Significant experience in preparing complete submissions
- A good understanding of site realities and risks related to omissions or gray areas
- A strong ability to analyze the overall costs of a project
- Ease in collaborating with multiple internal stakeholders
- Good proficiency in Excel and office tools
- Openness to estimation tools, ERP, or similar systems
- A good level of bilingualism in French and English, particularly for reading technical documents
On a human level, we are looking for someone who is:
- Autonomous and structured
- Rigorous and reliable
- Able to manage their priorities well
- Comfortable in a fast-evolving environment
- Capable of raising a flag early when information is missing or a risk arises
- Recognized for their judgment, transparency, and execution discipline
- Motivated by entrepreneurial, concrete, and collaborative environments
This role is clearly focused on estimation. It is not primarily a project management position. The selected candidate will work in an environment where multiple files progress in parallel, where submission deadlines are real, and where the quality of estimates has a direct impact on the overall performance of the company. The position requires a rapid progression towards autonomy, clear communication, and the ability to function well in a rapidly growing organization. The environment will particularly suit someone who enjoys contributing to structuring projects, evolving in an innovative company, and having a concrete impact on business decisions.
Benefits
- Competitive salary up to $150,000 based on experience
- Strategic position with a direct impact on project profitability
- Close collaboration with a committed management team
- Stimulating, growing, and innovation-focused environment
- Group insurance
- Group RRSP
- Access to wellness facilities and a quality work environment
- Great opportunity for a strong individual to take an important place in the organization
