About the Role
BrightCore Construction is seeking a full-time, in-office Estimator Assistant to support our estimating and tendering operations for public and private construction projects.
This is not a project coordinator role. The primary focus is tender preparation, estimating support, and subcontractor pricing coordination.
We are looking for someone with hands-on exposure to general contracting and public tenders who understands construction terminology, divisions, insurance requirements, bonding, and bid submission processes.

Navigate and review tender documents, drawings, specifications, addenda, and bid forms

Log, analyze, and organize incoming subcontractor quotes
Coordinate insurance and bond requirements
Assist in the preparation and submission of a complete tender package
Maintain tender trackers and deadlines
Experience with public-sector bidding platforms and estimating software is considered an asset.
Coordination & Documentation (Secondary Focus) includes but not limited to:
Track submittals, shop drawings, and RFIs
Maintain bid and project tracking systems
Assist with close-out documentation, including warranties, O&M manuals, and as-builts
Support site visits during tender and project phases as required
Ideal Candidate
1–3 years' experience with a general contractor
Exposure to public tenders and estimating processes
Familiar with construction divisions and trade scopes
Comfortable reviewing drawings and specifications
Highly organized with strong follow-up skills
Able to work in-office and collaborate directly with estimating team
Important: Candidates whose experience is primarily project coordination without tendering and estimating exposure may not be suitable for this role.
Compensation & Growth
Full-time in-office position
Salary: $45,000–$55,000 based on experience
Health benefits
Strong growth opportunity into the Estimator role
Pay: $45,000.00-$55,000.00 per year
Benefits:
