Tacoma, WA

Join a well-established civil construction contractor specializing in asphalt, paving, earthwork, and underground utility projects. This is a small, highly respected company with a strong culture, low bureaucracy, and direct access to ownership. The owners maintain an open-door policy, communication is straightforward, and employees are treated like valued members of the team, not numbers.

The company also makes it a priority to bring people together, with multiple team and company events throughout the year. It's the kind of environment where people know each other, work hard, and take pride in delivering quality projects.

They're looking for a Civil Estimator to support continued growth by preparing accurate estimates, coordinating with subcontractors and suppliers, tracking bids, and following up with clients. This is a strong opportunity for a detail-oriented estimator who wants visibility, autonomy, and the ability to make a real impact inside a company where their work will be noticed.

  • Prepare and submit final bid proposals in accordance with client requirements.
  • Track submitted bids and conduct follow-up with clients and partners.
  • Analyze earthwork and utility quantities, production rates, and units of measure.
  • Coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain pricing and scope coverage.
  • Support business development efforts through networking and relationship management.
  • Maintain organized estimating files and documentation for awarded and pending projects.

Civil Estimator Qualifications:

  • At least 5 years of experience estimating asphalt/paving or earthwork and utility projects.
  • Proficiency with estimating and take-off tools such as BTW or Heavy Bid
  • Solid understanding of civil construction methods, production rates, and cost structures.
  • Ability to interpret complex plans and specifications accurately.
  • Strong communication skills with owners, subcontractors, and suppliers.
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and capable of managing multiple bids simultaneously.
  • Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred.
  • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to collaborate in a close-knit environment.

Company Benefits:

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance for employees
  • 401K Plan with Matching up to 10%
  • Generous paid time-off and Holidays
  • Company Supplied Vehicle

Compensation: $135K - $185K + bonus
