Civil Estimator

Working Hours: Mondays - Fridays, 8:00am - 5:00pm EST Location: LATAM (Remote) Compensation: USD $1,500 - $3,000/month (depending on seniority) About The Company Our client is a boutique heavy civil construction company based in Miami, Florida specializing in site work, utilities, and infrastructure projects. The company is known for high-quality work and operates with a lean, efficient team structure. Job Description We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Senior Heavy Civil Estimator to join our team as a dedicated, full-time estimator working within our client's existing systems and workflows. The ideal candidate will own the full bid lifecycle — from plan review and quantity takeoff through bid submission and post-award coordination. This is a critical role where accuracy directly impacts profitability. You will work directly with the ownership team and play a key role in the company's ability to pursue blind bids and expand beyond referral-based work. Responsibilities Perform detailed quantity takeoffs from architect and engineer-provided plans using PlanSwift and other estimating software — including material counts, labor hour assessments, and site-specific civil requirements. Review project specifications, addendums, plan schedules, and local permitting requirements thoroughly to identify missing information and flag questions before bid submission. Manage the full bid solicitation and submission process — from coordinating supplier and vendor pricing to preparing and submitting complete, accurate bids. Track active bid invitations, manage the estimating pipeline, and coordinate with vendors and subcontractors on pricing and scope clarification. Support post-award workflows including subcontractor buyouts, submittals packages, and ongoing coordination with subs and suppliers on scope and scheduling. Collaborate with office staff on vendor outreach, quote compilation, and bid breakdowns as needed. Demonstrate familiarity with South Florida market conditions, local permitting requirements, and project timelines specific to Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Project Types Site work packages (parking lots, curb and gutter, drainage) Water, sewer, and fire line installations Building pad grading and preparation Pump stations and utility coordination Requirements 2+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil work, with demonstrated experience on mid-to-large-scale projects ($500K - $5M+ scope) for U.S. clients. Proven experience building out and owning estimating processes and workflows from the ground up. Strong ability to read and interpret civil engineering and site plans with a high degree of accuracy, including code compliance considerations. End-to-end bid process experience — from takeoff and supplier pricing coordination through formal submission, plus familiarity with post-award workflows (buyouts, submittals, scope coordination). Direct project experience on heavy civil and site development projects. Proficiency with PlanSwift or similar takeoff software. Fluent English communication skills (written and verbal) and prior experience working remotely for a U.S.-based contractor is strongly preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr Agent Careers
