Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your cost estimation and project coordination expertise in a transformative and impactful field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and detail-oriented teammates.

Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (procurement, finance, engineering, and installation), manage procurement tracking, and coordinate technical evaluations with subcontractors, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of consolidating cost inputs and preparing target price submissions, but also contribute to lessons learned and continuous improvement of estimation processes across project corridors.

We’ll look to you for:

Supporting Signalling Installation Managers in the preparation of target price submissions for multiple project corridors

Consolidating and validating cost inputs across subcontractor quotations, historical data, labour forecasts, tooling, and equipment rentals

Managing and securely tracking the procurement process during the target price phase

Performing technical evaluations of quotations and participating in meetings with subcontractors

Reviewing and structuring QCD files to ensure consistency and transparency

Preparing clear documentation for internal and external client gates

Acting as a transversal interface between multiple teams to ensure alignment and traceability of cost data

Contributing to lessons learned and continuous improvement of estimation processes

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

Engineering Degree or equivalent combination of education and experience

Minimum 7+ years of professional experience in cost estimation, bids, or tenders, preferably within rail signalling or large construction projects in Canada

Strong understanding of signalling installation activities and subcontractor management

Experience supporting target price or gated estimation processes

Proficiency in MS Excel and cost management tools; experience with QCD or similar frameworks is an asset

Strong organizational skills with the ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders and parallel deliverables

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for collaboration with internal teams and subcontractors

Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long-term career free from boring daily routines

Work with cutting-edge security standards for rail signalling

Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues

Contribute to innovative projects that shape the future of mobility

Utilise our flexible and dynamic working environment

Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries

Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning

Progress towards leadership or specialized technical roles

Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension)
