Senior Estimator, Heavy Civil / NCDOT

Gallin Associates Inc

Senior Estimator, Heavy Civil / NCDOT

Location: Raleigh, NC (Triangle area)

Industry: Heavy Civil / Highway / Bridge / Infrastructure Construction

A large, well established heavy civil contractor is hiring a Senior Estimator to lead bids on highway and bridge work in the Raleigh area. This is a strong opportunity for a Senior or Lead Estimator with DOT heavy civil bid experience who wants a stable employer with a deep backlog and a real voice on bid day. You'll own estimates from takeoff through bid day on highway, bridge and infrastructure projects, much of it NCDOT work. Triangle locals are great, and candidates ready to relocate are welcome.

What You'll Be Responsible For

  • Lead estimates on heavy civil highway and bridge bids from takeoff through bid day
  • Perform quantity takeoffs from plans and specifications
  • Build crew, equipment and production based cost estimates
  • Solicit, level and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotes
  • Develop bid strategy, risk review and pricing with leadership
  • Attend prebid meetings and site visits
  • Track NCDOT lettings and build the bid schedule
  • Mentor junior estimators and keep the estimating database current
  • Hand awarded work to the project team with a clean budget
  • Review bid results and carry the lessons into the next estimate

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of heavy civil estimating, with lead estimator experience on DOT bids
  • Highway, bridge, earthwork, paving and drainage estimating experience
  • Strong takeoff and production based pricing skills
  • Contractor side estimating, not design side cost estimating
  • HCSS HeavyBid is a plus
  • NCDOT bid experience is a plus
  • Degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management is a plus
  • Based in the Triangle or ready to relocate to the Raleigh area

Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation

  • Full benefits package
  • A large contractor with a deep backlog of highway, bridge and infrastructure work
  • A lead seat on bid day with real input on strategy
  • Long runway of work, not a one project hire
  • Heavy civil work on the kind of projects that build a career.
