Dharik came to Canada with a civil engineering background and over four years of experience in construction estimating, billing, and project coordination. He had worked on large residential and ICI projects, managing quantity take-offs, bid preparation, and subcontractor coordination, and further strengthened his profile with postgraduate studies in Project Management and Construction Management in Canada.

When Dharik joined Infilysis, the challenge wasn’t his capability it was positioning. Despite strong experience and education, his profile wasn’t clearly aligned with how Canadian construction firms assess estimator talent, which made it difficult to break into the market.

We shifted the strategy by repositioning his experience specifically for Estimator roles, restructuring his resume to highlight full bid-cycle ownership, quantity surveying, tender compliance, and familiarity with Canadian tools and standards. This clarity helped his profile resonate with the right employers.

That focused approach led to an offer as an Estimator at Anchor Hydro in Cottam, Ontario, allowing Dharik to move out of survival work and into a role aligned with his career path.
