J Banicki Construction is looking for an experienced SR Estimator that has experience in Heavy Civil Construction. If you’re a Senior Heavy Civil Estimator who’s tired of being a “button‑pusher” and ready to own bids, influence strategy, and win meaningful work, Banicki is looking for you. At J Banicki Construction, estimating isn’t back‑office support — it’s a competitive advantage. We trust experienced estimators to think critically, challenge assumptions, and help drive how the company grows in Arizona’s most complex infrastructure markets.

This is a role for someone who wants authority, accountability, and respect — and who thrives in a fast‑moving, high‑expectation environment. You’ll lead estimating efforts for major heavy civil infrastructure projects across Arizona, spanning scopes such as mass grading and earthwork, concrete structures, aggregate placement, asphalt paving, airport taxiways and aprons, PCCP, and other transportation infrastructure work. You’ll partner closely with the Chief Estimator, project managers, and executive leadership to develop smart, competitive bid strategies that balance accuracy, risk, and profitability — not just the lowest number on bid day.
