National Commercial Title Underwriter (Remote U.S.)

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.
