Estimator in Civil Landscape Construction

Senior Civil Construction Estimator (Hybrid)

Location: Greater Hamilton Region

Salary: $110,000 to $130,000 per year (based on experience)

Lead Projects That Shape Communities

At CSL Group, we build more than parks, pathways, bridges, and public spaces. We build communities and careers that last.

As our civil division continues to grow, we are seeking a Senior Civil Construction Estimator to lead complex tenders while playing a key role in project planning and execution. This is an opportunity to take ownership of high-impact projects and work closely with operations to help ensure successful delivery.

This is not a Project Manager role. Estimating remains the core focus, but the position offers meaningful involvement in planning, coordination, and project readiness.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Hybrid work model offering flexibility and in-office collaboration
• Lead high-profile civil and municipal projects from bid to execution support
• Work closely with experienced leadership and operations teams
• Opportunity to mentor and influence a growing estimating team
• Strong pipeline of meaningful community-based projects

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead full-cycle tender submissions for civil projects including:
  • Parks and recreation developments
  • Pathways and trail systems
  • Pedestrian bridges
  • Municipal civil infrastructure
• Review drawings, specifications, and contract documents in detail
• Prepare accurate quantity take-offs, cost estimates, and bid submissions
• Coordinate pricing with subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams
• Identify risks, opportunities, and value engineering solutions
• Support project planning, scheduling, and pre-construction coordination
• Ensure smooth handoffs from estimating to operations teams
• Collaborate with Project Managers, Superintendents, and leadership
• Provide mentorship and guidance to junior estimators

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of civil construction estimating experience
• Proven ability to lead complex bids independently
• Strong experience with municipal or public tendering environments
• Background in civil infrastructure, site development, or parks projects
• Proficiency with HeavyBid, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Excel
• Strong understanding of project planning, cost control, and risk management
• Excellent communication, organization, and coordination skills
• Experience working closely with both estimating and operations teams
• Diploma or degree in Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Management, or related field is an asset

Ideal Backgrounds

• Senior Civil Estimator
• Lead Estimator, Civil Infrastructure
• Estimator with project coordination experience
• Assistant Project Manager with strong estimating expertise
