- Experience reviewing plans, specifications, geotechnical reports, and bid documents
- Ability to perform quantity takeoffs and develop detailed cost estimates
- Strong subcontractor and vendor relationship management skills

- Excellent communication, organizational, and time-management skills
Preferred Experience
- Municipal infrastructure projects
- City, county, state, and public agency work

Not a Fit
This position is not intended for estimators whose experience is primarily limited to:
- Residential subdivision development
- Franchise utilities (electric, gas, telecom, fiber optic)
- Vertical building construction without underground utility experience
Why Consider This Opportunity?

- Strong backlog of work throughout the DFW Metroplex
- Competitive compensation package with bonus opportunities

- Stable, long-term opportunity with a growing organization
- Ability to make a significant impact on project success and company growth
