Structures Estimator (Heavy Civil)

KOB Solutions , Inc.

Structures Estimator - Heavy Civil

Orange County, California

Overview

We are looking for a Structures Estimator with strong experience in heavy civil construction. This role focuses on estimating complex structural scopes including bridges, concrete structures, water/wastewater facilities, and transportation-related infrastructure.

You will be responsible for preparing accurate, competitive bids and working closely with operations to ensure successful project execution.

What You'll Be Estimating
  • Cast-in-place concrete structures
  • Bridges, retaining walls, and structural foundations
  • Water and wastewater treatment structures (tanks, basins, pump stations)
  • Box culverts, vaults, and underground structures
  • Transportation-related structures (rail, highway, grade separations)
What You'll Own
  • Full-cycle estimating from takeoff to bid submission
  • Quantity takeoffs (concrete, rebar, formwork, excavation, etc.)
  • Subcontractor and vendor outreach, leveling, and bid analysis
  • Cost analysis for labor, materials, equipment, and production rates
  • Review of plans, specs, geotechnical reports, and project risks
  • Value engineering and cost-saving strategies
  • Bid packaging and proposal preparation
  • Coordination with project managers and field teams
What You Need
  • 5+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil or structural construction
  • Strong background in concrete structures and public works projects
  • Ability to read and interpret plans, specs, and structural drawings
  • Experience with takeoff and estimating software (Bluebeam, HCSS, HeavyBid, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of production rates, means & methods, and cost drivers
  • Experience working on DOT / public agency projects is a strong plus
What Makes You Stand Out
  • Experience with bridges, water/wastewater, or large structural scopes
  • Background with Caltrans, municipal, or public works projects
  • Ability to handle multiple bids and deadlines without missing details
  • Strong communication with subs, vendors, and internal teams
Important
  • Local candidates only
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. (no sponsorship)
  • Must have U.S. construction experience aligned with the role
Compensation

Competitive base salary + bonus, based on experience
