A B2B store buildout partner delivering complete retail store projects across Canada and the USA — fixtures, refrigeration, walk-ins, millwork, racking, and kitchen equipment, coordinated through one accountable team. Primary clients are grocery chains, pharmacies, hardware stores, and specialty retailers opening or expanding locations.
This is a full-time, fully remote position, starting on the estimating team.
You will build detailed cost estimates for retail store fixture projects — primarily gondola shelving and related store equipment. Each estimate starts from a customer's specifications and a store layout, and ends as a structured, spec-accurate quote ready for review.
Day to day, that means reading layouts and specifications, performing component-level takeoffs and dimensional math, retrieving cost pricing from manufacturer tools, applying per-project pricing formulas, and assembling the estimate in QuickBooks Online. You will flag missing information, request pricing from manufacturers where needed, and submit completed estimates for approval before they reach the customer.
Estimating happens within defined product systems and manufacturer pricing — the focus is accuracy and discipline, not invention. The role also sits alongside project coordination: tracking quotes through revision and approval, keeping specifications consistent, and coordinating with the sales lead and manufacturing partners.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
The trait that separates a strong estimator from an average one is accuracy under detail. A single wrong dimension or missed component flows straight into a quote and costs real money. We are looking for someone who treats spec accuracy as non-negotiable — who does the math twice, catches the gap before it ships, and flags an unknown instead of guessing it.
We also want someone who communicates with discipline — clear, direct, and proactive about surfacing problems early.
Candidates without real, hands-on estimating experience will not be considered.
REQUIREMENTS
1. Several years of hands-on cost estimating and quantity takeoff — reading drawings or layouts and translating them into priced, structured estimates. Background in construction, millwork, casework, or retail fixtures. Estimating limited to manufacturing unit costing or bill-of-materials work, with no takeoff from drawings, is not a fit for this role.
2. Strong dimensional and mathematical accuracy — comfort with component-level math, including depths, section counts, and run breakdowns, and the habit of checking work before it moves forward.
3. CAD literacy — able to read architectural floor plans and shop drawings. Experience with AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar is expected.
4. Clear written English and disciplined communication — someone who flags assumptions and gaps rather than guessing, and coordinates cleanly across sales, manufacturers, and project staff.
5. Experience coordinating projects, schedules, or vendors alongside estimating work is a strong advantage. An engineering background — civil, structural, or architectural — is also a strong advantage.
HIRING PROCESS
1. Application review — form responses and resume are reviewed first.
2. A short interview — roughly 15 minutes, booked online
3. Second interview —around 30 minutes.
4. Offer — extended to the candidate who passes all three stages.
