Background

About David Olij

Hi, my name is Dave! As an Estimator - Senior Project Coordinator my career has developed with a specialized focus on railroad construction. This involves understanding of the unique complexities inherent in railway infrastructure, from trackwork and signaling systems to industrial and intermodal facilities. I am adept at developing precise, competitive estimates that account for materials, labor, specialized equipment, and the critical safety and regulatory compliance demands of the rail industry. Beyond estimating, I've also had the opportunity to help coordinate work plans, schedule and other documentation necessary for successful execution of railroad construction projects. I am skilled in creating and managing detailed project schedules and coordinating with field management to develop production based estimates while maintaining budget controls and profit margins. My collaborative approach fosters strong relationships with colleagues, clients, designers, regulatory bodies, and other trade partners, facilitating clear communication and proactive problem-solving. I am committed to leveraging innovative construction methods and technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce risks, and consistently deliver high-quality, safe, and on-schedule railway projects that contribute to the vital infrastructure of Canada.
