Low-Rise New Construction Estimator

Title: Low-Rise New Construction Estimator
Location: Greater Toronto Area
Company: Triumph Group of Companies
Role Overview
The Low-Rise New Construction Estimator prepares estimates for new low-rise construction projects, working from drawings, specifications, and tender documents to build accurate, competitive pricing. You'll consult directly with architects on components and design features, and work with clients to quote projects and guide product selection. Day to day, that means running material take offs, preparing cost forecasts, and following up on submitted tenders to track how they land. You'll also support the Project Manager with whatever a project needs to keep things moving. You'll know things are going well when your estimates hold up through the life of a project and clients keep coming back for the next one.
