ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We're working with a respected civil contractor with a strong reputation for quality work across paving, road reconstruction, and large-scale concrete infrastructure. They're looking for a Senior Estimator to join their estimating team based in Vancouver, BC, providing leadership and expertise on projects ranging from $4M to $10M+.

If you're an experienced civil estimator who enjoys municipal bids, hardscapes, and large concrete scopes—this is your opportunity to make an impact and grow with a team that values autonomy, collaboration, and precision.


THE ROLE: SENIOR ESTIMATOR

You'll take ownership of preparing and managing civil bids for municipal clients and large private-sector developments. With support from junior staff and access to modern software tools, you'll play a key role in the company's growth and ongoing project success.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading estimates on paving, concrete, and municipal civil infrastructure projects ($4M–$10M+)
  • Preparing accurate quantity take-offs and pricing for unit rate contracts (rehab roads, widening, bus lanes, hardscapes)
  • Managing bid lists, facilitating bid reviews, and coordinating submissions across offices
  • Supporting subcontractor engagement and bid strategy planning
  • Acting as a key estimator on high-value subcontracts in sectors like transit and airport infrastructure
  • Collaborating with the preconstruction team and sharing resources across multiple disciplines (concrete, asphalt, civil)
  • Mentoring junior estimators and promoting estimating best practices

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

  • 7+ years of estimating experience in civil construction (paving, municipal work, flatwork)
  • Proven experience working on projects in the $4M–$10M range
  • Strong knowledge of unit rate bids and municipal tendering processes
  • Proficiency with estimating tools such as Bluebeam, Bid2Win, HeavyBid, or similar
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team culture

WHY JOIN THIS TEAM?

  • Competitive Compensation: Competitive base salary, strong performance bonus, company vehicle and industry-leading benefits including RSP plan
  • Supportive Work Culture: Flexible office environment, as long as deadlines and quality standards are met
  • Project Variety: Work on municipal and private-sector projects with real impact
  • Long-Term Career Path: Join a stable and growing company committed to development and mentorship

READY TO APPLY?

If you're a detail-oriented senior estimator ready to lead civil bids and mentor others, this role offers the flexibility, support, and compensation to take your career further.
