ABOUT US:

Founded in 1967, and named one of Canada’s Best Managed companies and one of Ottawa Best Places to Work, MP Lundy Construction (Lundy) protects and supports its clients by providing expert advice and oversight in all matters related to planning and executing complex construction projects across Eastern Ontario.

We execute on what we say, we look forward and plan effectively, and we inspire confidence that we can make it happen and deliver predictable results. If you share our commitment to fostering long-term relationships, honouring commitments, and executing on plans, we want to talk to you.

POSITION OVERVIEW:

Reporting to the Chief Estimator, the successful candidate will play a key role within the Estimating Department by assisting the team in successfully preparing cost estimates and competitive bids for a diverse set of projects. The individual will have a strong set of analytical skills, be well organized and possess excellent communication skills.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Review drawings, specifications, contract documents, and addenda to determine project requirements, identify scope gaps, and assess technical and commercial risks.
Develop conceptual, schematic, design development, and tender estimates for projects of varying size and complexity.
Perform detailed quantity take-offs and pricing of labour, materials, equipment, subcontracted work, general conditions, and project-specific requirements.
Contribute to the development of bid strategies and procurement plans to support successful project delivery.
Solicit, analyze, level, and evaluate subcontractor quotations to ensure complete scope coverage and competitive pricing.
Build and maintain strong working relationships with subcontractors and suppliers.
Participate in and support trade scope review meetings.
Collaborate with Project Managers, Superintendents, and Chief Estimator to develop preliminary construction schedules, site logistics plans, and execution strategies.
Participate in constructability reviews, value engineering exercises, and risk management workshops to identify opportunities for cost savings and schedule optimization.
Prepare tender submissions, bid forms, clarifications, assumptions, exclusions, and supporting documentation.
Participate in bid closing activities, including final estimate reviews and tender submission coordination.
Act as a liaison with owners, consultants, and project management teams to provide budgeting, cost planning, and preconstruction services.
Maintain estimating databases, historical cost information, subcontractor records, and bid documentation.
Participate in project handover meetings on awarded projects and provide complete handoff documentation, assumptions, qualifications, procurement strategies, and key project risks to the project team.
Support Project Managers and Superintendents throughout project execution by providing pricing assistance, change order support, and clarification of estimate assumptions.
Coordinate trade tendering activities, including bid invitations, scope reviews, quotation analysis, and bid leveling.
Review contract documents and supplementary conditions to identify commercial, contractual, bonding, insurance, and scheduling risks.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

College diploma or university degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Architectural Technology, or a related field.
Minimum five (5) years of estimating or preconstruction experience within the construction industry.
Previous estimating experience with a General Contractor is strongly preferred.
Professional designation such as PQS, MRICS, Gold Seal Certification (GSC), CET, or P.Eng., or active pursuit of a recognized industry designation, is considered an asset.
Demonstrated ability to prepare conceptual budgets, estimates, and competitive tender submissions.
Experience estimating institutional, commercial, and industrial projects of varying size and complexity.
Strong understanding of civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical building systems and construction methodologies.
Thorough knowledge of quantity take-off procedures, subcontractor procurement, tendering practices, construction sequencing, and project scheduling principles.
Working knowledge of Construction Management and Stipulated Price delivery models and associated contract forms.
Ability to identify project risks, develop mitigation strategies, and communicate effectively to project stakeholders.
Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel and Word, together with estimating, digital take-off, and project management software (Procore).
Familiarity with Building Information Modeling (BIM), model-based quantity take-offs, and digital construction tools are considered an asset.
Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to effectively interact with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal project teams.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tenders and deadlines in a fast-paced environment while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
