Estimator - Remote

Sustainable Projects Group (SPG) is transforming how existing buildings are managed and upgraded. We combine consulting, software, engineering design and construction to decarbonize the built environment and create lasting value for our clients.
We’re building a national engineering and construction team that is retrofit-specific, tech-enabled, and volume-focused (to meet our shared Climate targets). Our services are useful, scalable, and actionable — aligned with capital planning needs and powered by integration with SPG’s consulting and software services. Join SPG as our Senior Estimator and strengthen our ability to deliver accurate, reliable, and scalable costing across all retrofit and construction projects. As a key technical leader, you will drive the full estimating function from early audit through design and into construction. You will build cost control systems, support project teams with real-time pricing, and ensure every scope is aligned with budget, funding, and delivery strategy.
This role blends deep technical knowledge with strong communication and analytical skills. You thrive in fast-moving environments, understand how design decisions influence cost, and believe in building pricing systems that support clarity and performance for project managers, engineers, and construction teams.
Your ability to interpret data, develop systems, and guide teams with confidence will be critical to your success and impact in this role.
