This is a senior leadership role responsible for overseeing the estimating function, driving bid strategy, and ensuring accurate, competitive pricing across a diverse portfolio of institutional, commercial, and industrial projects.

- Develop bid strategies to ensure competitive and profitable positioning
- Analyze drawings, specifications, and project requirements
Costing & Analysis
- Prepare detailed cost estimates for concrete forming and ICI construction projects
- Develop and maintain accurate pricing databases, labour rates, and production metrics
- Identify risks, opportunities, and value engineering options within bids
Subcontractor & Supplier Coordination
- Build and maintain relationships with subcontractors and suppliers
- Solicit, review, and level subcontractor and vendor pricing
- Negotiate pricing and scope inclusions
Collaboration & Handover
- Work closely with operations, project management, and senior leadership
- Ensure smooth handover of awarded projects to the execution team
- Provide ongoing support and cost insight throughout the project lifecycle
Qualifications
- 10+ years of estimating experience within construction, with a strong focus on concrete forming and ICI projects
- Proven experience in a senior or leadership estimating role
- Strong knowledge of construction drawings, specifications, and bid processes
- Advanced understanding of concrete forming methods, costs, and productivity
