Civil Construction, Estimator

The Work We Bid Today Becomes the Infrastructure People Rely on Tomorrow

At Harbour Construction, our Estimators help build the projects that support communities across Nova Scotia. From underground water and sewer systems to roads, earthworks, and municipal infrastructure, the work we bid today becomes the infrastructure people rely on tomorrow.

We're looking for an Estimator to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, planning ahead, and turning complex construction information into accurate and competitive bids.

The successful candidate will have a solid foundation in construction estimating and be looking to continue building their knowledge, experience, and long-term career within the civil construction industry.

Why Harbour Construction?

Harbour Construction has been building infrastructure across Nova Scotia since 1946.

We've built a reputation for delivering quality work, investing in our people and equipment.

Culture here is not something we talk about—it's something you experience. It shows up in how our teams work together, how our leaders lead, and how people take pride in the work they do every day

Our estimators work closely with project managers, superintendents and field crews to develop estimates grounded in real-world construction experience.

Construction can be an industry where people move frequently from company to company. Harbour is different. We have employees who have built entire careers here. We invest in people for the long term and create opportunities for growth and advancement from within.

Work closely with operations teams to validate construction methods, sequencing, productivity assumptions, and project risks.
Participate in site visits and pre-bid meetings as required.
Identify project risks, opportunities, assumptions, and constructability considerations.
Coordinate multiple tenders and submission deadlines simultaneously.
Maintain organized estimating documentation and historical pricing information.
Support successful project handovers following contract award.

Excellent organizational, planning, and coordination skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and estimating software.
Ability to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team environment.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills.

Assets

Experience estimating civil construction, infrastructure, underground utilities, road construction, earthworks, or municipal projects.
Experience with bidding software.
Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering Technology, Construction Management, Engineering, or related education.

Who Will Be Successful in This Role

Has a strong foundation in construction estimating and wants to continue developing their expertise.
Enjoys learning and expanding their knowledge of civil construction methods, costs, and project delivery.
Can independently manage assigned estimating responsibilities while knowing when to seek input from the team.
Is highly organized and proactive, with the ability to coordinate multiple activities and deadlines.
Takes pride in producing accurate, well-supported work.
