Purpose of the Role:

Ensure the organization has accurate and reliable quantity and cost estimates for reinforcing steel, enabling competitive proposals, reducing financial risks, and supporting proper project planning and execution.

Key Responsibilities:

- Calculate quantities of reinforcing bars and accessories from 2D drawings, 3D/BIM models, and design specifications.
- Estimate weights, lengths, splices, laps, hooks, supports, and waste factors in compliance with ACI, ASTM, and project requirements.
- Develop detailed internal cost estimates, including materials, fabrication, transportation, installation labor, and contingencies.
- Communicate with clients or general contractors to confirm scope, clarifications, and exclusions, issuing RFIs as needed.
- Conduct peer reviews to verify the accuracy, consistency, and quality of estimates.
- Identify value engineering opportunities and potential construction or cost risks.
- Build and maintain a historical database of material prices and productivity factors.
- Coordinate with internal teams (Detailing, Commercial, Procurement, and Project Management) to deliver complete and up-to-date estimate packages.
- Monitor steel, transportation, and labor markets to maintain competitive pricing.




- Promote continuous improvement through automation, standardization, and enhancement of estimating tools and templates.

Education:

Technical, Technologist, or Professional degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, or equivalent field experience.

Experience Required:

Over 5 years of experience estimating reinforcing steel for commercial, industrial, bridge, or heavy civil projects, with a proven record of accurate quantitative assessments.

Specific Requirements:

- Proficiency in at least one rebar estimating platform: aSa Estimating, Shear 97, Soulé, RGS, or equivalent.
- Advanced proficiency in MS Excel.
- Familiarity with BIM viewers (Revit, Navisworks) for 3D quantity extraction.
- Practical knowledge of ACI 318, CRSI Manual, ASTM A615/A706/A955 (or equivalent regional standards).
- Understanding of transportation and labor cost principles.
- English level: C1.

We Offer:

- Participation in high-impact projects.
- Opportunities for technical and professional growth.
- A collaborative environment focused on accuracy, innovation, and continuous improvement.
