  • 7–8 years of estimating experience in the construction industry (ICI, commercial, or industrial preferred)
  • Strong proficiency in quantity take-offs and a solid understanding of construction methods and materials
  • Experience with estimating software (e.g., Bluebeam, Procore, Timberline, or similar)
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple bids simultaneously and meet tight deadlines

  • A collaborative, experienced team environment
  • Genuine career advancement opportunities — once established in the role, growth into senior or leadership positions is a real and supported path
  • Stable project pipeline with a well-regarded regional presence
  • Monday to Friday, in-office work in Kelowna, BC
