Standardize estimating templates, labour units, pricing databases, and reporting tools.
Implement continuous improvement initiatives to increase estimate accuracy, efficiency, and consistency.
Strengthen collaboration between estimating and operations to ensure seamless project handoffs.
Participate in project kickoff and turnover meetings as required.

Qualifications:

Required

10+ years of commercial construction estimating experience.
3-5 years of leadership experience managing estimating teams.
Extensive experience in commercial steel stud framing, drywall, acoustical ceilings, insulation, and related interior systems.
Strong understanding of construction contracts, specifications, tender documents, and procurement processes.
