We are looking for someone who understands how outdoor construction projects are built and can look at a set of drawings and specifications and determine what needs to be built, how it will be built, and what it will cost.

• 5+ years of estimating experience in landscape construction, civil site work, municipal construction, parks, pathways, site development, or similar outdoor construction

• Proven experience preparing competitive bids and tenders

• Strong ability to complete detailed quantity take-offs

• Strong understanding of labour, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and construction methods

• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and tender documents

• Experience working with public-sector or municipal tenders is an asset

• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple tenders and deadlines

• Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Management, Landscape Design, or a related fieldt (Equivalent industry experience will also be considered)

Strong experience with the following is important:

Experience with HeavyBid or other estimating software is an asset, but strong experience with PlanSwift and Bluebeam is more important for this role.

You may have developed your estimating experience in landscape construction, civil construction, site development, municipal construction, parks, pathways, or other outdoor construction.

We are looking for someone who understands the practical side of construction and can take a project from plans and specifications to a complete, accurate estimate.

These values shape how we work with our employees, clients, subcontractors, and the communities we work in.

You'll work closely with our construction and operations teams and have the opportunity to contribute from the estimating stage through project startup and execution.

• Monday to Friday

• Full-time

• In-person

If you're an experienced estimator with a background in landscape construction, civil site work, municipal projects, or similar outdoor construction, we'd love to hear from you.

If you know how to read the plans, build the take-off, price the work, and understand what it will take to actually build the project, this could be the right opportunity for you.
