Full job description

Ready to Lead Bigger Projects?

The best estimators don't just put numbers together—they help build companies.

At Gordon Barr Limited, we're looking for an experienced Senior Civil Estimator who wants more than another estimating job. We're looking for someone who wants a seat at the table, the ability to influence major project decisions, and the opportunity to help grow one of Eastern Ontario's most respected heavy civil contractors.

If you've spent years pricing municipal infrastructure, underground servicing, roadwork, and site development projects—and you're ready for more responsibility, more variety, and more impact—we want to talk.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll lead the estimating process from start to finish on some of the region's most exciting heavy civil projects.

That means you'll:

  • Lead the preparation of competitive tenders for municipal, industrial, commercial, and institutional projects.
  • Review drawings and specifications to identify opportunities, risks, and smarter ways to build.
  • Develop winning bid strategies alongside company leadership.
  • Build strong relationships with owners, consultants, subcontractors, and suppliers.
  • Complete detailed quantity take-offs, costing, and pricing.
  • Review and negotiate subcontractor and supplier quotations.
  • Support project managers with seamless turnover from estimating to construction.
  • Mentor junior estimators and help strengthen our estimating department.
  • Identify value engineering opportunities that improve both quality and profitability.

What You Bring

You know civil construction.

You understand what it takes to build profitable projects—not just low bids.

We're looking for someone with:

  • 7+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil construction.
  • Experience with municipal servicing, underground infrastructure, road construction, earthworks, and site development.
  • The ability to read drawings quickly and accurately.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills.
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Confidence to work independently while collaborating with project teams.
  • Experience with HeavyBid or similar estimating software is considered an asset.

Why Gordon Barr?

Because you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact.

  • Work directly with ownership on major project pursuits.
  • Be trusted to make decisions—not just follow instructions.
  • Join a company with more than 75 years of success and a strong reputation across Eastern Ontario.
  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
  • Mileage reimbursement.
  • Company events and team activities.
  • Casual dress and on-site parking.
  • Long-term career growth with a company that's continuing to expand.
  • Company DPSP (deferred profit sharing program) after 24 months of employment.

We're Looking for Someone Who...

✔ Enjoys the challenge of winning complex projects.

✔ Takes pride in building accurate, profitable estimates.

✔ Thinks like a builder—not just an estimator.

✔ Wants to help shape the future of a growing company.

If that sounds like you, we'd like to start the conversation.
