Senior Estimator

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 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. 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. 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. 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.
