    Permanent

    An Estimator or Cost Estimating construction professional with Canadian PR, Citizenship or transferable work permit in Canada is urgently needed to join a growing construction engineering consultancy team based in the Lower Mainland area of Vancouver.

    You will be employed to prepare estimates on major highway, bridge, transportation, rail and transit projects ranging in size from $20m to multi-Billion dollar major projects.

    Project Details

    As Estimator, you will both support the Senior Estimator on large projects, and work independently on your own estimating work on smaller sized projects.

    You will work closely with colleagues in the estimating team and will provide cost and estimating support to the other business units.

    Suitable Estimators will have estimating experience but will be ambitious and looking for fast track training and development and be seeking an ambitious career path.

    You could currently be working as a Field Engineer or similar, and have picked up some estimating experience and are now looking to become office based.

    You could just be an early career or intermediate Estimator looking to fast track their career

    Suitable Estimating candidates will be located in Vancouver / the Lower Mainland and will work both from home and be based in the downtown Vancouver office as required; probably for 2-4 days a week.

    Your Estimator and Cost Estimating role will be to work on a number of civil engineering infrastructure and rail and transit projects to be constructed in Canada.

    The employing company is a fast growing Client focused business that is well known within the Canadian market for their ability to lead and deliver project success.

    The Cost Estimator role is to work with a dynamic construction project management and engineering consultancy on a range of their clients' projects.

    You will establish construction and project budgets for Highway & Bridge, Transportation, Ports & Marine, Rail, Transit and other related civil engineering infrastructure and transportation sectors.

    Typical projects have previously included:
    George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project
    Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project
    Surrey Langley SkyTrain Project
    Highway 1 Corridor Improvements Program
    SkyTrain facilities
    Flood Remediation Projects on Highways 5 & 1
    Fraser River Tunnel Project

    The budgets you will be responsible for will shape the future paths of the next generation of major projects through financial approval, procurement and into the construction stage.

    This exciting construction Estimating job role is not just focused on the market rates and costs for construction, but will also challenge your constructability and scheduling skills to ensure the bespoke elements of the individual projects are captured within the budgets set.

    The estimators working at this company become an integral part of the Client team and through a control of the cost, schedule and constructability they are in a strong position to advise the design team in developing a design that is as efficient as possible, while meeting the needs of the Client.

    The company culture of this employer is one that empowers individuals to self-manage the needs of the Client with the support of the company owners and senior managers.

    training can be provided in some areas if not all duties have previously been undertaken fully:

    Cost estimating and pricing of projects from the ground up using Labour, Equipment and Materials supported by a construction schedule and constructability plan.

    Advising clients on budgets and in due course helping them to manage their cost management systems.
    Undertaking commercial management duties
    Understand, identify and evaluate project risks for inclusion in the project budget
    Cost projects from drawings at different stages of design from preliminary through conceptual to IFC drawings, using real world construction experience rather than a purely theoretical approach
    Able to review tender documents, geotechnical reports and construction drawings and be able to predict future project duration to establish robust project budgets
    Able to understand and use HSS, HeavyBid, Bid2Win or other comparable construction industry pricing software

    This Cost Estimator job role requires an ambitious, proactive and cerebral candidate that is seeking to make an impact on the outcome of projects from their first concept through design, procurement and construction.

    It is expected that suitable candidates will have had around 2 years of good quality estimating experience as a part of their wider job duties.

    Preference is for estimating experience that has been gained from civil infrastructure/transportation projects, and rail and trackwork and/or electrical systems projects or transferrable experience from power, oil & gas or major building
    Experience gained within construction contracting is preferred, ideally on projects of between $20m-$200m + in value. Experience of advising clients on budgets and managing cost control systems is highly desirable
    Experience of working in Canada on civil engineering infrastructure, major building or rail / transit projects is desirable although good quality international experience is also acceptable
    Commercial management experience would be beneficial

    Experienced of working in a team environment with the confidence to self manage on a daily basis with support from your line manager or senior management.

    Demonstrable understanding of identifying, managing and evaluating project risks is essential.
    Hands on experience of using HSS, HeavyBid, Bid2Win or other comparable construction sector pricing software is expected

    Previous construction project estimating experience needs to demonstrate most / many of the above capabilities and Estimator candidates should be able to evidence a proactive and innovative approach to the estimating and project costing process.

    A demonstrable passion is needed that will ensure that cost systems are set up appropriately to be able to allow costs to be managed throughout the construction process to successful project completion.

    A professional qualification in construction is highly desirable although hands on cost estimating and commercial management experience is most critical.

    Current location and experience of Vancouver / British Columbia construction and ideally civil engineering infrastructure projects is highly desirable

    This civil engineering employer is a highly regarded project delivery, engineering, risk management and project management consultancy based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

    With a focus on civil engineering infrastructure projects, they have built an excellent reputation in Vancouver and British Columbia and have a forward order book of confirmed work on a range of infrastructure, transportation, civil engineering, and rail projects in the Vancouver and British Columbia region.

    They have an enviable reputation for successful delivery of complex infrastructure projects to tight timelines and budgets
