Job description

For more than 30 years, we've combined creativity, engineering, and craftsmanship to deliver custom signage solutions across North America. Every project is unique, which means every estimate requires a fresh approach, critical thinking, and collaboration.

We're looking for a Project Estimator who enjoys solving puzzles, analyzing project requirements, and turning concepts into accurate, competitive estimates. If you're naturally curious, detail-oriented, and enjoy working with multiple departments to build winning solutions, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Prepare accurate and competitive quotations for custom signage projects
• Review drawings, renderings, specifications, and project requirements to determine materials, labour, and production requirements
• Gather and analyze information to develop estimates from concept through completion
• Communicate with vendors and suppliers to obtain pricing, lead times, and product information
• Assemble bid pricing for large-scale tenders and proposal submissions
• Collaborate with sales, design, project management, and production teams to ensure estimate accuracy and feasibility
• Maintain and improve estimating templates, costing tools, and ERP data
• Identify risks, assumptions, and opportunities that may impact project costs
• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to estimating processes and cost accuracy

What You'll Bring

• Experience estimating within a manufacturing, construction, signage, millwork, or related industry
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and technical documents
• Strong attention to detail while managing multiple priorities
• Experience working with ERP systems and Microsoft Office applications
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Confidence making assumptions and asking questions when information is incomplete
• Sign industry experience is considered an asset but not required

Why Join Twilight?

• Work on unique custom projects—not repetitive products
• Collaborate with a team of designers, fabricators, project managers, and installers
• Play a key role in helping projects move from concept to reality
• Competitive compensation
• Comprehensive group benefits
• Employee & Family Assistance Program
• Group RRSP Matching Program
• Quarterly company events
• Early Fridays
• Stable, growing company with over 30 years of industry leadership

Who Succeeds Here

Our best estimators are curious, resourceful, and collaborative. They enjoy digging into the details, asking questions, and finding solutions when information isn't black and white. They understand that great estimates come from great teamwork and a strong understanding of how things are built.

If you enjoy solving challenges, working with talented people, and helping bring ambitious projects to life, we'd love to hear from you.
