Senior Estimator, Major Projects

20/10/2026

Purpose of the Role


SB Canada is hiring a Senior Estimator to lead tender pursuits for our Major Projects group, which covers projects across Canada. You will own each pursuit from start to submission: building the estimate, shaping the commercial strategy, managing risk, and bringing together the internal and external stakeholders needed to deliver a winning, profitable bid.

When a project is awarded, you will lead the handover to the construction and project delivery teams and stay involved to support a strong start. This role suits a seasoned estimator who combines technical depth with commercial judgment and is comfortable presenting to senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities of the Role

Tender leadership
Lead major project tender pursuits, managing the involvement of key internal and external stakeholders.
Lead the preparation, cost estimation, commercial evaluation and execution of major project tender submissions.
Develop bid strategy with engineering, operations and leadership, including means and methods, schedule and pricing approach.
Review tender documents and contract terms to identify scope gaps, commercial exposure and opportunities.


Risk and commercial management
Manage risk through the tendering process in a clear and methodical way, from identification through to pricing and mitigation.
Provide input and guidance on subcontract negotiations, focusing on favourable commercial terms while mitigating risk.
Evaluate subcontractor and supplier pricing and scope for completeness and value.


Reporting and leadership
Prepare high-level summaries and presentations of tender pursuits for senior management review.
Guide and mentor estimators and coordinators on the Major Projects team.
Attend client and stakeholder meetings, site visits and pre-bid meetings as required.

Project handover
On project award, lead the transition to the construction and project delivery teams.
Provide a formal handover and ongoing support to project delivery and construction teams.


Health and safety
Be an active participant in SB Canada’s Health and Safety Program, helping to foster a positive safety culture as we continue to move from compliance to care.

NOTE: This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive. Employees may perform other related duties as required to meet the ongoing needs of the organization.

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or related discipline.

Experience
10+ years of estimating or construction experience in deep foundations, ground improvement, excavation support, tunnelling, or geotechnical construction.
Proven track record leading large, complex tender pursuits from start to submission.
Experience with a range of delivery models, such as design-bid-build, design-build and progressive or collaborative contracts.

Warning to applicants about false job offers and fraudulent proposals

The VINCI group wishes to warn applicants about the online publication of false job offers for contracts abroad in the name of VINCI group companies. The authors of these offers fraudulently use the corporate names, brands and logos of VINCI group companies to deceive applicants, inducing them to reveal personal information and to pay money to obtain alleged services. Under no circumstances do VINCI group companies ask for candidates' bank details or any payment of money as part of their recruitment process. We therefore strongly recommend that applicants check the authenticity of job offers before responding to them.
