Overview We are working alongside a reputable, union-signatory contractor with over 20 years of experience delivering civil infrastructure and mechanical systems for both public and private owners. With a strong backlog of site development, utility, and pump-related projects, the company is looking to hire a detail-oriented Estimator who can confidently support competitive bids from concept through submission. This contractor is known for self-performing key scopes—including concrete flatwork, foundations, and masonry—while partnering with trade subcontractors for structural steel, fencing, and other specialties. The role is ideal for someone with a background in mechanical utility or civil concrete estimating, who enjoys working in a collaborative, boots-on-the-ground culture.
