About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Mechanical Estimator to lead estimating efforts across large-scale ICI and high-rise residential/commercial projects.

  • Independently analyze drawings, specifications, and tender documents

  • Perform detailed take-offs and pricing for ICI and high-rise residential/commercial projects

  • Handle high-cost rooftop unit pricing and equipment analysis on a daily basis

  • Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotes

  • Lead bid submissions and actively participate in closing contracts

  • Identify cost risks, value engineering opportunities, and scope gaps

  • Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and leadership teams

  • Maintain organized documentation of estimates and bid history

 

Qualifications & Experience



  • Minimum 5+ years of experience in mechanical estimating

  • Strong expertise in plumbing, HVAC, and sheet metal systems

  • Proven experience with ICI and high-rise construction projects

  • Ability to independently manage full-cycle estimating on large-scale projects

  • Experience pricing projects in the $5M–$35M range

  • Familiarity with Autobid (or similar estimating software) is considered a strong asset

  • Strong understanding of Ontario codes, standards, and construction practices

  • Excellent analytical, negotiation, and communication skills

 

What We’re Looking For



  • A self-driven leader who can take ownership of the estimating function

  • Someone confident in pricing jobs independently and making strategic decisions

  • A team player with the ability to mentor junior estimators over time

  • Strong commercial awareness and ability to help win work and close deals

 

Compensation & Benefits



  • Competitive base salary 

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage

  • Paid vacation and personal days

  • Company-supported professional development

  • Stable pipeline of large-scale projects

  • Clear career advancement opportunities
