We’re seeking someone with experience in cost estimating, design and construction of infrastructure projects to join our

Estimating team based at BC Hydro’s Dunsmuir office in Vancouver, B.C. You’ll be part of the Estimating Team within the
Dunsmuir Engineering team, working primarily on large hydro projects. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who
enjoys working on a wide variety of projects, each with its own unique scope, assets, stakeholders, risks and technical
aspects. While the work is based out of Vancouver, you’ll get to travel to BC Hydro’s facilities located throughout British
Columbia.

As a Cost Engineer in the Estimating team, you’ll prepare cost estimates for large hydro projects. You may work with a

You’ll contribute to the success of projects by providing input on construction methodology, schedule, project delivery

methodology, project risks, procurement documents, proposal evaluations and contract claims. You’ll prepare budgets and
schedules for the estimating work assigned to you and ensure it is completed within the schedule and budget.

supervise and provide guidance to other team members. Maintaining your knowledge of relevant standards and keeping
apprised of industry cost trends are also key parts of this role. You’ll support the development of team members through
knowledge sharing, coaching and mentoring and contribute to internal guidelines, processes, tools and templates.

Understanding the business in which we operate is key for this role. As such, you’ll maintain relationships across the

organization and use your knowledge of business drivers, policies and procedures to ensure the project estimate is
appropriate. You’ll be able to formally and informally present or answer questions regarding project costs estimates,
including communicating with various levels of management within the organization and with external stakeholders.
