Senior Estimator – ICI Construction
Toronto, ON
$120,000 – $140,000+ (Depending on Experience)

An established and reputable ICI General Contractor based in the GTA is seeking a Senior Estimator to join their team. This is a critical leadership-track position, with the successful candidate expected to take over the firm's full estimating function in the near future as a senior leader transitions toward retirement.

The Opportunity:
This role is ideal for a seasoned Estimator with at least 10 years of experience in the ICI construction sector, including ground-up, additions, and renovation projects ranging from $1M to $30M. The company specializes in Construction Management (CM) delivery and requires an individual who thrives in a client-facing role, offering value engineering and budgeting guidance from pre-construction through completion.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the full-cycle estimating process from concept through to submission

• Collaborate closely with the leadership team and project managers to develop budgets and cost strategies

• Liaise with subcontractors and suppliers to gather pricing and ensure accurate takeoffs

• Deliver proactive value engineering insights to benefit both the internal team and clients

• Participate in client meetings, presentations, and provide ongoing support throughout project development

• Maintain accurate and organized documentation for all bid submissions and costing

Qualifications:

• Minimum 10 years of estimating experience in the ICI sector (institutional, commercial, industrial)

• Proven track record delivering estimates for projects between $1M–$30M

• Strong familiarity with Construction Management projects

• Excellent communication skills and comfort engaging with clients directly

• Highly organized, self-sufficient, and able to take full ownership of estimating duties

• Proficiency in industry-standard estimating software

Why Join?

• Opportunity to transition into a lead role under the mentorship of a retiring senior partner

• Work in a collaborative and professional environment with long-standing clients

• Competitive compensation and flexibility around start date – the right fit is more important than immediate availability

If you are a strong communicator who thrives in a collaborative, client-focused estimating role and are ready to take the next step into leadership, we'd love to hear from you.
