Job Description
Are you a rigorous technical professional with a sharp eye for construction project budgets and real-time field data? We are seeking a highly autonomous and strategic cost control engineer to oversee the financial performance, resource tracking, and productivity analysis for a major, multi-million-dollar industrial infrastructure project lasting four years in Montreal-Est. In this key role, you will act as a vital representative for the end client, ensuring strict adherence to project budgets, contract compliance, and execution timelines. Unlike traditional estimating roles that are isolated in corporate offices, this position requires a 100% presence at the site project office. We firmly believe that to control and optimize construction efficiency effectively, one must be fully immersed where the work happens. ... As a cost control engineer on our team, you will join a culture that values ingenuity, agility, and out-of-the-box thinking. We look beyond rigid, black-and-white engineering profiles; instead, we seek technical professionals who bring real energy, adaptability, and an analytical mindset to the field. Your daily workload will heavily prioritize on-site productivity analysis, assessing mobilized labor force, tracking hours worked, evaluating material quantities used, and proactively identifying cost variances. Additionally, you will handle a crucial estimation component, conducting detailed verifications of subcontractor bids to validate the accuracy of both pricing and associated quantities. Within our organization, career growth is not a rigid linear path, but an exponential journey fueled by your own curiosity. The more interest you show in broadening your scope, the more resources and support we provide to elevate your professional path. To maintain maximum precision on a heavy industrial site, leveraging recognized industry benchmarking tools is vital. Therefore, a solid practical knowledge or mastery of the Rsmeans cost estimation software is necessary to carry out unit price analyses and track market trends. The selected cost control engineer will have all the necessary tools to transform raw field data into actionable financial strategies that secure project success.
