Senior Heavy Civil Estimator
Crescent City Recruitment Group
Senior Heavy Civil Estimator Cary, NC (Raleigh Area) • Heavy civil projects across Virginia & North Carolina
The Opportunity Step into a senior seat with a family-owned heavy civil contractor that's growing - and busy. You'll own the estimates on civil projects from $1M to $35M across Virginia and North Carolina: highways, earthwork, bridges, and utilities that actually get built. This is your chance to put your name on the numbers that win the work, mentor the next group of estimators, and grow with a company that backs its people and isn't going anywhere.
Why You'll Want This Role
• Real variety and scale - $1M to $35M heavy civil work, never the same job twice
• Your estimates win the work - high-visibility impact, not a back-office cog
• A clear path up - lead and mentor junior estimators as a senior on the team
• A stable, family-owned company that's growing - and treats people like it
• Strong benefits and competitive pay (details below)
What You'll Do
• Read and interpret bid documents and plans to build accurate, competitive estimates
• Perform quantity takeoffs from civil construction plans and documents
• Define project scope and identify the disciplines and subcontractor roles needed
• Evaluate DBE participation to ensure project goals are met
• Spot constructability issues and value-engineering opportunities early
• Coordinate pre-bid activities and inquiries with the owner
• Develop and review project estimates and schedules ($1M-$35M)
• Build and deliver complete project bid packages
• Provide direction and mentorship to junior estimators
What You'll Bring
• 4-7 years of experience as a civil construction estimator
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in a construction-related field
• Working knowledge of Department of Transportation (DOT) specifications
• Proficiency with HeavyBid or comparable estimating software
Bonus Points
• Hands-on experience with heavy highway, earthwork, bridge, and utility work
• Prior work with NCDOT and/or VDOT
What We Offer
• Competitive compensation based on your skills and experience
• Comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance
• 401(k) with a 4% company match
• 120 hours of paid time off in your first year, plus 8 paid holidays and a personal floating holiday
• FSA program
• A family-owned culture where good work gets noticed - and more
Schedule & Travel
• Full-time, Monday-Friday (occasional weekend work during busy bid cycles)
• Some local travel; reliable personal transportation needed
