    WHY WORK WITH US:

    Morgan Construction is a well-established and respected heavy civil contractor operating throughout Canada, committed to excellence, workplace safety, and building trust with our clients. Our belief in our people being the backbone of our success drives us to offer stability and security with year-round work, competitive wages, and immediate benefits. As a growth-focused company, Morgan invests in its workforce with training and career advancement opportunities, including leadership education and hands-on training to advance knowledge.

    SUMMARY:

    Reporting to the Estimating Manager, the Civil Estimator plays a crucial role in the accurate and timely preparation of comprehensive cost estimates for projects, encompassing materials and labor. This position is based out of Calgary, AB and involves the maintenance of a database of suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors, as well as the establishment of unit costs, labor rates, productivity factors, and location-specific impacts. The precision of the Civil Estimator is paramount to Morgans profitability, as underestimations can lead to significant financial losses, while overestimations may hinder our ability to secure bids. If you are a dedicated professional with a strong commitment to accuracy and want to contribute to a dynamic team, we encourage you to apply for the Civil Estimator position at our company.

    RESPONSIBILITIES:

    • Prepare full-cost estimates for conceptual, design-build, and general tender projects.

    • Review proposal specifications and drawings to determine scope of work and required estimate contents.
    • Maintain accurate documentation for estimate figures, including current pricing information from suppliers.
    • Collaborate with other departments, assisting in preparing estimates for various disciplines.

    • Develop bid strategies to enhance the company's competitive advantage.
    • Provide support for determining which projects to bid on in collaboration with corporate and project management teams.
    • Ensure the accuracy and completeness of final estimate packages before formal quotation.
    • Participate in presentations to management and clients, potentially contributing to closing the sale.
    • Offer technical assistance in negotiating contracts, change orders, and related matters.
    • Assist in preparing studies, materials and methods, recommendations, and cost estimates as required.
    • Perform additional assignments as directed by the supervisor.
    • Attend site visits and preconstruction meetings to evaluate and understand the project's scope in preparation for bidding.
