Senior Estimator Type: Full-Time | Location: Remote / Hybrid – site visits required (Canadian nuclear sites) | Sector: Nuclear/Decommissioning / Radioactive Waste Management / Environmental Remediation About Us Since 2011, Dokainish & Company has delivered project controls and project management consultancy services to owners and developers across North America and the Middle East. Our work spans capital construction programs, commercial office towers, institutional facilities, mission‑critical infrastructure, and corporate campus developments, where our consultants are embedded directly with owner teams to protect schedule, cost, and delivery outcomes. We specialize in Project Controls, Project Management, Quantitative Risk Analysis, Estimating, and Enterprise Reporting for major capital projects. The Opportunity We are seeking a Senior Estimator to join a high‑performing program controls team supporting a major, long‑duration nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management program. This technically demanding, high‑visibility role requires the incumbent to own the end‑to‑end development of project cost estimates and supporting documentation across a complex, multi‑project portfolio, spanning reactor decommissioning, radioactive waste facility operations, environmental remediation, and fuel processing programs. Prior hands‑on estimating experience on nuclear decommissioning projects or at licensed nuclear facilities is strongly preferred. Candidates with direct exposure to the nuclear facility environment, including decommissioning, waste management, remediation of contaminated nuclear sites, or active nuclear plant maintenance and modifications, will receive strong preference. We are hiring for a full‑time permanent role. Exceptional candidates seeking a fixed‑term or contract engagement may also apply. Key Responsibilities Develop project‑level baseline cost estimates (AACE Class 3–5) across a diverse portfolio of nuclear decommissioning, waste management, and remediation projects. Produce comprehensive Basis of Estimate (BOE) for each project, including methodology narrative, source data, escalation rationale, key assumptions, exclusions, and stated accuracy range. Apply parametric, analogous, and bottom‑up estimating methodologies; select the appropriate approach based on available information and document the rationale explicitly. Develop time‑phased cost profiles integrated with project schedules; collaborate with senior schedulers on cost loading, resource histograms, and S‑curve generation. Provide cost uncertainty inputs (P10/P50/P90 distributions, key cost drivers) to the project risk and quantitative risk analysis process. Establish and apply consistent estimating norms and unit rates scaled to project complexity and information maturity across the portfolio. Support program‑level planning deliverables: resource allocation plans, escalation profiles, and multi‑year cost projections. Respond to queries on estimate basis and methodology with traceable, well‑documented backup within defined timelines. Qualifications & Requirements Minimum 10 years of capital project estimating experience; significant experience in nuclear decommissioning, radioactive waste management, environmental remediation of nuclear‑contaminated sites, or capital projects within licensed nuclear facilities (CANDU, research reactors, fuel processing, isotope production, or equivalent) is strongly preferred. Demonstrated experience preparing estimates across AACE Class 1–5 on projects of significant scale and complexity. Strong BOE authorship track record; document samples may be requested during the interview process. Experience in multi‑project program environments with concurrent estimate workloads. AACE membership in good standing; CCP, CEP, or PSP designation preferred. University degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Applied Sciences, or a related field; equivalent combinations of technical certification and demonstrated experience will be considered. Must be eligible for Canadian nuclear facility security clearance; existing clearance is an asset. What Sets the Right Candidate Apart A track record of nuclear decommissioning or nuclear facility estimating as primary work, not supporting or incidental exposure. BOE authorship at a standard that holds up under independent technical review; candidates should be able to walk through their document structure from memory and articulate potential reviewer questions. Estimating across multiple simultaneous projects, demonstrating production discipline, not just depth on one large assignment. Experience in Canadian nuclear is a strong differentiator. Comfort operating in a structured, milestone‑driven program controls framework alongside schedulers, risk analysts, and program managers.
