What you will do…

We're looking for a detail-oriented professional who takes pride in supporting projects from the estimating stage through to successful completion. The ideal candidate thrives in a work environment that combines office-based estimating with hands-on collaboration alongside our shop and field teams, including occasional site visits.

In this role, you'll be reviewing structural drawings, calculating steel quantities, obtaining supplier pricing, and helping prepare accurate estimates, tenders, and change order pricing. You'll need the ability to work through incomplete information.

You're able to confidently read and interpret structural drawings, with a solid understanding of the construction process from estimating through to project completion.

Experience preparing quantity take-offs, calculating steel quantities, obtaining supplier pricing, and assisting with estimates and change order pricing is considered a strong asset.

You're proficient in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, and Outlook, and experience with estimating software, Bluebeam, Tekla, FabTrol, AutoCAD, or similar construction software is an asset.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, with strong analytical and mathematical skills. You communicate effectively with clients, suppliers, and project teams, and are able to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment.
Previous experience with structural steel fabrication and erection projects is considered a strong asset.
