Job Description

Senior Estimator – Heavy Civil Site Construction

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Estimator with deep expertise in heavy civil site construction to join our high-performing team. This is a key leadership role focused on preparing and winning competitive bids for large-scale site development projects — including earthwork, grading, excavation, utilities, road construction, and stormwater management.

If you thrive on solving complex challenges, building strategic bids, and influencing high-value projects from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.

🔨 What You’ll Do

Estimating & Bid Strategy

  • Prepare accurate, detailed cost estimates for site construction projects, including mass excavation, grading, drainage systems, underground utilities, paving, and retaining structures.
  • Conduct quantity take-offs from engineering drawings, specifications, and geotechnical data.
  • Leverage estimating tools such as Agtek, Bluebeam, and Excel to develop bids efficiently and effectively.
  • Analyze subcontractor and supplier quotes for competitiveness and scope alignment.
  • Identify cost-saving strategies and value-engineering options without compromising scope or quality.

Vendor & Subcontractor Engagement

  • Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate quotes from subcontractors and material vendors.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships across key trades: earthwork, utility installation, concrete, and paving.
  • Ensure all scopes are comprehensive, coordinated, and aligned with overall project needs.

Cost Analysis & Risk Evaluation

  • Utilize historical data, productivity benchmarks, and market trends to improve estimate accuracy.
  • Assess constructability, schedule risk, and site conditions to develop practical, cost-effective solutions.
  • Recommend alternative methods, materials, or phasing to reduce cost and increase bid competitiveness.

Team Collaboration & Executive Reporting

  • Work closely with project managers, engineers, and clients to ensure estimates align with project goals and budgets.
  • Attend pre-bid meetings, site walks, and post-bid debriefs.
  • Present estimate packages and strategy recommendations to executive leadership.
  • Support early-stage business development with conceptual and budgetary estimates for future work.

📌 What You Bring

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field (preferred but not required).
  • 7+ years of experience in heavy civil construction estimating, including site development, roadwork, underground utilities, and stormwater systems.
  • Proven track record estimating DOT, municipal, commercial, and industrial sitework projects.

Technical Skills

  • Proficiency with Agtek, Bluebeam, Microsoft Excel , and other relevant estimating tools.
  • Strong working knowledge of civil drawings, site plans, and geotechnical documentation.
  • Experience with a variety of project delivery methods (lump sum, unit price, design-build, CM/GC).

Soft Skills

  • Detail-oriented with excellent analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Clear, professional communication with both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Comfortable managing multiple bids and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
