PM​/Estimator

Overview

THE ROLE — TWO PATHWAYS. Path A is PM / Estimator, and Path B is Estimating Coordinator (Development). The role involves both office and field work, pricing, tendering, and project management activities. The successful candidate will join a Vancouver-based heavy civil infrastructure contractor with a strong pipeline and opportunities to develop careers internally.

Path A — PM / Estimator

Path B — Estimating Coordinator (Development)
