About the Role

The Senior Estimator is responsible for preparing, reviewing, and owning all cost estimates for remodel and new build projects across QSR, commercial, and residential sectors. This includes developing accurate conceptual budgets, detailed take-offs, subcontractor bid leveling, and final pricing submissions.

The ideal candidate has strong experience in multi-unit retail or QSR construction and possesses deep knowledge of market pricing, subcontractor management, and value engineering. This role requires both technical precision and strategic cost awareness to protect margins and enhance project feasibility.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare detailed quantity take-offs from drawings, specifications, and site conditions.
  • Develop conceptual budgets, preliminary pricing, and final cost estimates.
  • Solicit, review, and level subcontractor quotations to ensure full scope coverage.
  • Identify pricing risks and incorporate contingency planning where required.
  • Develop cost-saving alternatives while maintaining constructability and quality.
  • Analyze historical cost data to refine future estimating accuracy.
  • Collaborate with Construction & Procurement to identify pricing leverage opportunities.
  • Prepare structured estimate breakdowns for management review.
  • Present pricing assumptions and risk analysis to leadership.
  • Maintain organized digital cost databases for benchmarking and forecasting.

Qualifications

  • Degree or diploma in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred.

Required Skills

  • Minimum 5 years experience in construction estimating, preferably in QSR or multi-unit retail.
  • Strong knowledge of construction drawings, specifications, and cost structures.
  • Experience with digital estimating software and cost databases.
  • Strong analytical and negotiation skills.
  • Detail-oriented mindset with strong financial discipline.
  • Experience working with procurement, vendor management, and contract administration, ensuring projects are delivered within budget.
  • Strong problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally to address challenges and drive project success.
  • Ability to influence, effectively negotiate and align stakeholders across multiple business functions.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, capable of delivering clear, structured updates.
  • Fluent in English - written, spoken, and comprehension. Ability to communicate and prepare structured documentation in English is mandatory.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume project environment, with the ability to adapt to shifting priorities and deadlines.
  • Proactive mindset with a strong focus on process optimization and technology adoption.
  • Valid driver’s license and flexibility to travel for site visits as required.

Compensation package

Employees in this role will receive a competitive compensation and benefits package designed to support both professional and personal well-being, including:

  • Competitive salary.
  • Hybrid work arrangement with flexible working hours.
  • Annual performance bonus tied to KPIs.
  • Professional development budget for courses, certifications, and training.
  • Paid time off, including vacation and personal days.
