Ontario has solid demand for construction estimators in 2026. Job Bank typically shows 34-37 active postings across major markets, Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Kingston, and Etobicoke, which signals steady hiring rather than saturation.
Compensation varies by experience and project scope. Entry-to-mid-level roles (0-5 years) typically range from $50,000, $80,000/year, with many clustering around $65,000, $70,000. Senior estimators managing larger commercial, civil, or industrial projects command $100,000, $160,000+/year, with top placements in the $115,000, $160,000 range.
At Amundson Group, we specialize in senior estimator placements across commercial, civil, industrial, and energy sectors nationwide, and Ontario remains one of our active markets. If you're a mid-to-senior estimator looking to advance, or a contractor seeking top talent, we'd welcome a conversation about the current landscape and how we can help.
