Estimateur.trice / Chargé.e de projet en Génie Civil

About the role

The is entrusted with the critical financial and logistical groundwork required for civil infrastructure initiatives. In this capacity, you will own the quantification and financial modeling necessary to translate complex design concepts into viable construction programs. You will be responsible for performing detailed quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for civil works, covering roads, highways, waterworks, sewers, excavation, mass earthworks, riprap, and marine infrastructure such as breakwaters and wharves. Within the project lifecycle, you will Prepare project schedules and resource plans to ensure that timelines are realistic and resource allocation is optimized. You will also Support project budgeting and financial tracking by providing accurate data that guides spending decisions and variance analysis. Another core facet of the position involves coordinating closely with project teams and stakeholders to align technical requirements with contractual and financial expectations. Furthermore, you will Conduct site visits and data collection to validate conditions and incorporate field intelligence into your models. Finally, you will Produce tender documents and contract-related documentation that clearly communicate scope, method, and cost to contractors and clients.
