Job Type: Permanent
Pay Rate: Competitive
Sector: Construction, Development & Property
Date Added: October 19, 2026
Job ID: 19561
Lead preconstruction and estimating for the Edmonton operation, from early pursuit and go/no-go decisions through to a buildable budget handed over to operations
Own conceptual, design-assist, and hard-bid estimating across institutional, commercial, and industrial work, under stipulated sum, construction management, and design-build models
Lead and develop the estimating and preconstruction team, with a real say in who is on it and how it runs
Sit alongside business development and operations leadership on which work to chase and how to win it
Set the standard for cost data, risk reviews, constructability input, and trade partner relationships across Northern Alberta
About YouThe successful candidate will have the following:
You’ve led preconstruction or estimating on large ICI projects, and you’ve had to stand behind the number once the job went to the field
You can carry an owner and design team from early concept to a GMP or contract price without the budget falling apart in between
You know the Edmonton and Northern Alberta trade market: who’s busy, who’s reliable, and who will actually hold their price
You’ve built or developed an estimating team, and you coach people rather than just checking their spreadsheets
You’re as comfortable presenting to an owner as you are telling operations a pursuit isn’t worth chasing
About the Job
A director-level seat with real influence over the work the operation pursues, not just pricing what someone else already chose
The backing, bonding capacity, and project volume of a large, established builder
Room to shape the preconstruction process and team to your standard
A senior leadership package including base salary, incentive, and benefits, shared in confidence once we talk
