Maintain databases of historical costs, subcontractor relationships, and market trends. Stay updated on industry trends, bid opportunities, and project leads. Support site teams during project execution when needed. What You Bring to the Table: A diploma in Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Management, or a related field 5+ years of experience in heavy civil construction estimating in water treatment/waste water. Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, perform quantity take-offs, and use estimating software (HeavyBid is a plus). Ability to identify project risks and propose effective solutions. Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with internal teams, subcontractors, and suppliers. A keen eye for accuracy and the ability to multitask under tight deadlines. A deep understanding of the industry and a drive to contribute to high-impact projects.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
