  • Career Development: Work directly with the Estimating Manager and Senior Estimators (Tier 2 backgrounds) who will actively mentor you.
  • Structured Growth: Manage your own tenders up to $5M - $10M, with exposure to larger projects up to $50M as you develop.
  • Supportive Environment: Genuine, down-to-earth leadership team with strong systems, resources, and Tier 2 processes.

You’ll manage your own tenders up to $10M while supporting larger bids up to $50M. The company’s work mix leans toward negotiated and repeat business with blue-chip private clients, providing stability and learning opportunities across complex, high-value projects.
