Estimator - Heavy Highway - Philadelphia

$110k - $150k

Belmont Search

Job Description

Job Description

BELMONT Search is a Construction and Infrastructure executive search firm. We are engaged on estimating searches with heavy highway contractors in the Philadelphia region and South Jersey.

THE OPPORTUNITY

PennDOT and NJDOT lettings, priced from advertisement through bid day. The Estimator sets the number the contractor bids and stays with it into buyout, reporting to a chief estimator or to ownership.

THE ROLE

The takeoff, the production rates and the final number are yours, and ownership reviews them with you on bid day.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • PennDOT, NJDOT and authority lettings from advertisement through bid day
  • Quantity takeoff, and production-based pricing off crew and equipment rates
  • Subcontractor and supplier quotes, solicited and leveled
  • Plans, specifications and special provisions, read for risk
  • Bid day, including the final review with ownership
  • Buyout, and the first months of production

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Three or more years estimating heavy highway or heavy civil construction
  • Production-based pricing rather than unit price lookup
  • State DOT bidding systems and prequalification
  • Work won at a number that held

COMPENSATION

Base of $110,000 to $150,000, plus bonus. There is a route to senior estimating leadership on this one.

PROCESS

Every conversation is confidential, including from your current employer, and nothing is submitted anywhere without your approval.

A question is as welcome as an application. BELMONT Search can tell you about the contractor, the work and the money before you decide whether to put your name forward.

Call or text John Mullin directly at View phone number on us.fitly.work, or apply here and he will call you.
