Job Order Detail

Description

This Junior Appraiser/Estimator role is ideal for individuals interested in property appraisal and insurance valuation. The position focuses on determining the defensible replacement cost of existing buildings for insurance purposes by analyzing, separating, and pricing individual building components. The goal is to establish what it would cost to replace a building today in its current form if it were destroyed.

Based in Saskatchewan, the role provides hands-on experience with property assessments, building analysis, and preparation of accurate valuation and appraisal reports. Responsibilities include conducting on-site inspections to collect measurements, photographs, and building details; performing research and analysis to support reliable cost estimates; and assisting with the preparation of appraisal and insurance valuation reports. The work balances field inspections with office-based research, costing, and report writing, and offers exposure to a variety of property types such as multi-residential, commercial, municipal, and educational facilities.

The role involves travel, with approximately 30-40% within Saskatchewan and occasional travel across Western Canada and nationally. Candidates must live in Saskatchewan, be near a major airport, and hold a valid drivers license.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, technologically proficient, able to manage multiple priorities, and comfortable working both independently and within a team. Post-secondary education is required, while construction knowledge, inspection experience, familiarity with building codes, blueprint reading, and strong digital and Microsoft Office skills are considered assets.
