  • Mentor junior estimators and contribute to team development

Qualifications:

  • 812+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil construction, with a focus on earthwork and shoring

  • Ability to interpret civil, structural, and geotechnical drawings and specifications
  • Proven track record of successfully bidding and winning complex projects
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with deep excavation and urban shoring projects
  • Background working for a specialty contractor or heavy civil firm
