The Estimating Co-op/Intern will be exposed to the earliest phases of the construction process. Working with our dedicated estimating and preconstruction department, you will see how the bidding process evolves; learn how to read plans and drawings; and communicate with our subcontractor partners. The goal is to develop a fundamental understanding of general commercial, industrial, and institutional estimating practices. This knowledge will be the foundation for future career opportunities and an asset in any construction role. The Estimating Co-op/Intern reports directly to the Vice President/Estimating & Preconstruction, James Thomson.
