We are a self-performing General Contractor serving the heavy industrial sector, with in-house fabrication shops, module yard, and a full range of ASME certifications for both fabrication and field installation. Our work spans are fabrication, modularization, field construction, and maintenance/shutdown execution. From project planning to turnover and maintenance, we are able to deliver maximum value to clients every step of the way through proven processes, efficient management practices and cost effective execution.
At Phoenix Industrial we are currently looking for a talented individual to join our team and accepting applications for the following position:
This role is centered on building complete, execution-ready estimates from the ground up, not just pricing drawings.
You will be responsible for developing project costs using a combination of established productivity benchmarks and first-principles estimating, often with limited or incomplete client information, building scope understanding, execution strategies, and pricing structures that reflect how the work will actually be performed.
Responsibilities:
- Develop full project estimates across lump sum, unit rate, and T&M contracts
- Build execution plans, schedules, manpower loading, and crew mixes, including indirect staffing
- Perform complete quantity take-offs for materials, labour, and equipment
- Identify and price execution and commercial risks, including gaps, overlaps, and scope ambiguities
- Develop, solicit, and evaluate subcontractor scopes and pricing across multiple disciplines (civil, concrete, electrical, insulation, refractory, cranes, etc.)
- Develop equipment requirements and charge-out rates, including scaffolding and construction equipment
- Interpret specifications, line lists, and drawings to determine technical requirements such as NDE and PWHT
- Contribute to proposal documentation, including execution plans, schedules, and technical narratives
- Participate in bid reviews, clarifications, and post-tender discussions with clients
- Support project teams post-award as a technical resource when required
Requirements:
- Demonstrated field, fabrication, and construction execution experience
- Trades background or technical background with hands-on project execution responsibility
- Ability to build estimates from first principles using practical, real-world execution knowledge
- Experience developing execution plans, schedules, and manpower loading
- Strong understanding of:

- Structural fabrication and installation
- Industrial equipment installation (tanks, furnaces, boilers, OTSGs, coolers, etc.)
- Maintenance and shutdown work
- Experience working in a General Contractor environment
- Ability to interpret specifications and integrate multiple disciplines into a cohesive estimate
- Understanding of productivity factors and construction methods in both field and module yard environments
- Experience with subcontractor scope development and bid evaluation
- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
Additional assets:
- Experience with commercial structures involving union, non-union, and Indigenous participation frameworks
- Familiarity with equipment costing and rate development
- Technical diploma or related education
