About the Opportunity
This is an opportunity to join a growing and highly respected heavy civil contractor delivering complex infrastructure projects across the GTA and Ontario.
We are seeking a Civil Estimator with experience pricing heavy civil construction projects including sewer and water main, underground utilities, road construction, earthworks, deep excavation, and municipal infrastructure assignments. This role is ideal for an estimator who wants exposure to a strong pipeline of civil infrastructure work while working alongside experienced operational and estimating leadership teams.
Company Highlights
Complex municipal and heavy civil infrastructure projects
Strong reputation within the Ontario civil construction market
Collaborative estimating and operations teams
Long‑term project pipeline and stability
Commitment to quality project delivery and operational excellence
This is an excellent opportunity for an estimator looking to advance their career within a well‑established civil contractor that continues to grow throughout the Ontario infrastructure market.
The Role
As the Civil Estimator, you will play a key role in preparing competitive tenders and budgets for a wide range of heavy civil infrastructure projects throughout the GTA and Ontario.
You will work closely with operations, project management, subcontractors, suppliers, and senior leadership teams to support all aspects of the estimating process from bid review through tender submission.
This role offers exposure to both negotiated and hard‑bid infrastructure projects and provides strong long‑term career growth opportunities within the organization.
Key Responsibilities

Review drawings, specifications, geotechnical reports, and tender documents
Perform quantity take‑offs and pricing analysis
Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotations
Assist with bid strategy, risk analysis, and project planning activities
Coordinate with operations teams regarding construction methodologies and project execution plans
Prepare tender summaries, scopes, and proposal documentation
Support change pricing, budgeting, and cost analysis activities
Maintain relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and clients
Participate in pre‑bid meetings, site visits, and tender reviews
Assist with post‑bid handovers to project management teams
Who You Are
5+ years of estimating experience within heavy civil or municipal infrastructure construction
Strong experience estimating projects involving:
Sewer and water main
Road construction
Earthworks and grading
Strong understanding of Ontario civil construction markets and pricing
Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and tender documentation
Proficient with estimating software and Microsoft Office
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple tenders and deadlines
Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, or related educational background is considered an asset
Experience with public sector and municipal tenders is considered highly desirable

Strong Infrastructure Pipeline – Support a wide variety of heavy civil and municipal infrastructure projects throughout Ontario
Career Growth Opportunity – Join a growing contractor with long‑term advancement potential
Competitive Compensation Package – Base salary, bonus potential, RRSP program, benefits, and vacation package
Collaborative Team Environment – Work closely with experienced estimating and operations leadership teams
