Century Investors is passionate about mastering our team’s professional experience, skill and knowledge to tackle whatever kind of construction project comes our way. We don’t shy away from the “difficult” projects – we take them on and deliver satisfactory results EVERY SINGLE TIME. The fact that, after over 20 years, 70% percent of our projects are referrals/repeat clients testifies to the two principles that govern our operations: Integrity & First-Class Professionalism.

We are looking for a teachable, detail-oriented, and dependable Technical Assistant to work alongside the CEO, providing support with construction drawings, quotations, valuations, and other technical and project-related work. Integrity and professionalism are the foundational ethic of Century Investors. If you’re someone who cuts corners, overlooks important details, or needs to be constantly pushed to get things done, this may not be the opportunity for you.

• Prepare and review quotations, cost estimates, Bills of Quantities (BOQs), and material schedules.
• Assist with project valuations, measurements, and calculations of quantities and costs.
