🚨 CHIEF ESTIMATOR – INFRASTRUCTURE

📍 Mississauga (Toronto), Canada
💰 Executive-Level Salary + Bonus + Equity (Employee-Owned)
✈️ Full VISA Sponsorship + Relocation

This is not just estimating.
This is where strategy wins projects.

If you’ve led bids on major infrastructure…
this is your opportunity to step into a role where you shape billion-dollar outcomes.

Why Canada — And Why Now?

Because infrastructure is moving at scale.

  • Massive investment across transit, highways, bridges & airports
  • Long-term, government-backed pipelines
  • Stability + world-class lifestyle
  • A country that supports leaders and families relocating long-term

This is timing. And it’s big.

🏗️ The Opportunity

A Tier 1, employee-owned contractor is expanding its Infrastructure division and hiring a Chief Estimator to lead from the front.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You’ll report directly to the Pre-Construction Director and take ownership of:

  • Major transit & transportation bids
  • High-value infrastructure pursuits
  • Estimating strategy across multiple large-scale projects

This is not a back-office role.
You are driving how projects are won.

🔥 What You’ll Be Leading

  • Roads, highways & interchanges
  • Bridges & major structures
  • LRT / BRT transit systems
  • Airports & large infrastructure programs

⚙️ What You’ll Own

  • Full oversight of pre-construction & estimating performance
  • Bid strategy, risk analysis & cost optimisation
  • Conceptual estimating → tender submission
  • Constructability input & innovation strategies
  • Leadership of high-performing estimating teams
  • Stakeholder engagement across clients, consultants & partners
