Job Description Senior Estimator – Heavy Civil Construction Chandler, AZ | Full-Time
Are you an experienced estimator who thrives on the challenge of winning work and building strong teams? At DCS Contracting, we believe great work starts with great people—and we’re looking for a Senior Estimator who shares our passion for excellence, collaboration, and craftsmanship.
Why Join DCS? We’re a locally owned heavy civil general contractor with deep roots in the Greater Phoenix Valley. Since 1994, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality roadway and underground utility projects in both public and private sectors. With 75% of our work self‑performed and a team of 200+ skilled professionals, we take pride in the relationships we’ve built and the culture we’ve cultivated.
At DCS, we value hard work—but we also value balance. Our office hours are 7 am–4 pm, Monday through Friday, and our Chandler location offers easy access for Valley residents. We’re committed to creating an environment where you can do your best work and still have time for what matters most outside of it.
About the Role As a Senior Estimator, you’ll play a key role in securing new work and supporting our operations team with accurate, thoughtful estimates. You’ll lead bids for public works and private development projects, and prepare estimates for self‑perform scopes including grading, paving, wet utilities, and concrete. You’ll also contribute to general contracting opportunities across Design‑Bid‑Build, CMAR, and JOC delivery methods.
What You’ll Do
Analyze project plans and specifications to develop scope, labor, and equipment costs
Prepare detailed quantity take‑offs and pricing using production‑based or unit price estimating
Lead estimating efforts on assigned bids and mentor junior staff
Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotes
Collaborate with internal teams to ensure alignment and accuracy
Help refine and improve estimating tools, processes, and training resources
What You Bring
8+ years of heavy civil estimating experience with a self‑performing contractor
Strong knowledge of grading, paving, wet utilities, and concrete scopes
Familiarity with Arizona municipal specs and delivery methods (DBB, CMAR, JOC)
Proficiency in estimating software (InEight, HeavyBid, OST, Agtek) and Microsoft Office
A collaborative mindset, attention to detail, and a drive to win work as a team
What We Offer
A collaborative estimating team that values mentorship, shared success, and continuous improvement
Opportunities to influence bid strategy and contribute to company growth
Supportive leadership that respects your time and encourages work/life balance
Access to the latest estimating tools and technology
Professional development opportunities and training
A culture that values craftsmanship, safety, integrity, and teamwork
Competitive salary
Company vehicle and fuel card
Comprehensive health benefits: medical, dental, and vision
Life insurance
Company paid insurance
401(k) with company match
Generous PTO and paid holidays
We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and a drug‑free workplace. All applicants are subject to E‑Verify, background checks, and drug screenings.
