About the Opportunity

Parker Huggett is partnering with an established, multi-generation general contractor in the Greater Toronto Area to recruit a Senior Estimator. The company delivers ground-up industrial, commercial and institutional projects for developers and owners across the region.

More of the company's recent work is being awarded as stipulated-price (CCDC 2) contracts. Success on these projects depends on an estimator who reviews every tender in depth, identifies risk early, and prices it accurately. This role is central to that work, and you’ll work directly with the company's leadership.

This role is ideal for a Senior Estimator who wants to work closely with leadership as part of a small but growing team. The company's revenues have doubled over the past five years, and it is expanding into new markets, including mid‑rise residential. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands‑on estimator who wants to make a real impact in a growing company.
