About the Job

The MEP Estimator reports to the Chief Estimator and is responsible for pricing mechanical, electrical and plumbing scope for transit stations, tunnels, facilities and associated infrastructure. In transit work this extends beyond building services into tunnel ventilation, fire and life safety systems, and interfaces with rail systems. The role combines detailed estimating with strong trade subcontractor engagement.

What You Will Be Doing?

• Review specifications and drawings to define MEP scope for stations, maintenance and storage facilities, tunnels, ancillary buildings and emergency exit buildings
• Prepare detailed quantity take-offs and estimates for HVAC, tunnel and station ventilation, plumbing and drainage, fire protection and suppression, power distribution, lighting, grounding and bonding, and low-voltage systems
• Define MEP subcontract packages and scope splits, clearly identifying interfaces with civil works and rail systems (traction power, signalling, communications)
• Solicit and level quotes from mechanical and electrical subcontractors and major equipment suppliers (tunnel ventilation fans, switchgear, transformers, generators, elevators and escalators)
• Assess long-lead equipment, escalation risk and supply chain constraints
• Support design partners on MEP design development, value engineering and code compliance (OBC, NFPA 130, CSA)
• Contribute to risk and opportunity registers and basis-of-estimate documents
• Coordinate with the Planner on MEP installation sequencing, testing and commissioning durations

What We Are Looking For?

• Degree or diploma in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of MEP estimating experience, with at least some exposure to transit, rail, tunnel or large institutional/infrastructure projects
• Strong understanding of MEP systems in underground and public infrastructure environments
• Proficiency with estimating and take-off software (Bluebeam, Accubid, CostX, or similar) and advanced Excel
• Knowledge of the Ontario MEP subcontractor and supplier market
• P.Eng., C.E.T. or electrical/mechanical trade background is an asset
• Willingness to travel on a needed basis (within Canada)
