Construction Estimator

RCS Membrane is looking for a detail-oriented Construction Estimator / Project Manager to join our team in Edmonton. This full-time role is ideal for someone who can prepare accurate, competitive estimates and manage awarded membrane, waterproofing, insulation, and related building-envelope projects from initial planning through completion. Key responsibilities include: Estimating Responsibilities Review architectural, structural, and civil drawings; specifications; addenda; geotechnical reports; and tender instructions to identify the complete scope for radon poly, foundation waterproofing, membranes, insulation, drainage systems, and related building-envelope work. Complete detailed digital quantity takeoffs for membrane areas, insulation, termination bars, protection board, drainage components, sealants, fasteners, penetrations, corners, laps, waste factors, excavation interfaces, and other project-specific materials. Prepare itemized estimates using current material quotes, labour production rates, crew sizes, equipment requirements, freight, mobilization, travel, accommodations, site access costs, subcontractor pricing, overhead, contingencies, and target margins. Request, compare, and document quotations from membrane and insulation suppliers, equipment providers, subcontractors, and freight companies; confirm lead times, minimum order quantities, delivery terms, and quote expiry dates. Prepare complete tender and quotation packages that clearly state the proposed system, quantities, unit rates, lump-sum pricing, alternates, allowances, inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, schedule requirements, payment terms, warranty requirements, and quote validity period.
