Senior Estimator and Project Manager at a commercial glazing contractor, securing $20M+ in awarded glazing and cladding projects.

Canada

Message

At a commercial glazing contractor, I direct bid strategy for glazing and cladding work, including Savana, Augustina Tower, Seaton School, and South Trail. My portfolio secured more than $20M in awarded projects.

I prepare bid packages and material takeoffs, match project specifications to glazing and cladding systems, and negotiate supplier pricing. I also represent the estimating department in pre-award and value-engineering meetings with general contractors.

Previously, I estimated commercial glass installations at All-West Glass and All Weather Windows, where I secured approximately $5.0M in commercial contracts at All Weather Windows. Earlier, at Al Hamad Construction & Development, I handled quantity surveying and cost control for façade and cladding work, including the Bahrain Financial Harbour and The Pearl Tower.
