About the role
Senior Civil Construction Estimator
Location: Greater Hamilton Region
Job Type: Full-Time | Permanent
Salary: Approximately $85,000-95,000 per year (based on experience)
Big projects. Big responsibility. Big opportunity.
At CSL Group, we build more than parks, pathways, bridges, and public spaces; we build communities and careers that last.
As our civil division continues to grow, we’re looking for a Senior Civil Construction Estimator who can confidently lead complex tenders while also playing a key role in pre-construction planning and project execution support.
This role is ideal for someone with strong estimating experience who enjoys being involved beyond bid day — collaborating with operations teams, supporting project planning, and helping set projects up for success from the start.
This is not strictly a Project Manager role; estimating remains the core focus, but candidates with leadership, coordination, or project management exposure will thrive in this position.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading large-scale tender submissions for:
- Parks and recreation projects
- Pathways and trail systems
- Pedestrian bridges
- Municipal civil infrastructure
- Reviewing drawings, specifications, and contract documents
- Preparing detailed quantity take-offs, budgets, and competitive estimates
- Coordinating pricing with suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams
- Identifying project risks, opportunities, and value engineering solutions
- Assisting with project planning, scheduling, and pre-construction coordination
- Supporting seamless handoffs between estimating and operations teams
- Collaborating with Project Managers, Superintendents, and leadership throughout the project lifecycle
- Helping mentor junior estimating staff as the department grows
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of civil construction estimating experience
- Strong experience with public tenders and competitive bid environments
- Experience in pricing municipal, parks, site development, or infrastructure projects
- Comfortable taking ownership of larger, more complex bids
- Working knowledge of project coordination or project management principles
- Proficiency with:
- HeavyBid
- Bluebeam
- Microsoft Excel
- Strong communication, organization, and leadership skills
- A diploma or degree in Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Management, or a related field is considered an asset
Ideal Backgrounds May Include:
- Senior Estimator
- Civil Estimator
- Estimator / Project Coordinator
- Estimator with Project Management experience
- Assistant Project Manager with strong estimating experience
