Job description

Director of Estimating, High-Rise Residential Construction – Permanent – 3034 Toronto, ON

About the Opportunity

We’ve partnered with one of Toronto’s most recognized vertically integrated developer-builders – known for delivering iconic skyline-changing projects and blending real estate development with cultural expression.

They’re now hiring a Director of Estimating – a pivotal leadership role for someone who knows high-rise inside and out, and thrives in a builder-led environment where construction and design intersect early and often.

This role isn’t about quoting projects. It’s about shaping them.

As Director of Estimating, you’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior leadership, pre-construction, finance, and delivery teams to bring future communities to life – not just to budget, but to intent.

This is the place for someone who wants to go beyond takeoffs and tender packages – someone who loves the complexity and strategy of high-rise and sees estimating as both an art and a science.

About You

What You’ll Bring :

• Proven experience in high-rise residential (ideally in Toronto’s downtown or midtown cores)
• A background with developer-builders or high-rise construction managers (ideally self-perform)
• Strong understanding of local trades, market dynamics, and cost drivers
• Passion for solving problems early – where it really counts

Why This Role Stands Out :

Active Pipeline : Real, approved, funded projects – not wishful thinking

Broad Impact : Touch design, scheduling, finance, construction, and sales

Tight-Knit Team : Decisions are made fast, collaboration is real, and egos are checked at the door

Great Compensation : Your leadership is valued and rewarded accordingly

In-Office Culture : Fun, focused, and filled with people who actually enjoy what they do

How to Apply
