Senior Estimator - Heavy Civil/Highway

Our partner Bryant Staffing Solutions is seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to take ownership of complex infrastructure bids across the Arizona market. This position is ideal for a professional who wants to play a strategic role in winning work, influencing project direction, and contributing to long-term growth.

In this role, you will lead estimating efforts on large-scale civil and transportation projects, including roadway, aviation, and site development work. You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders to develop competitive, risk-aware bid strategies that align with operational capabilities and business goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review project plans, specifications, and geotechnical data to develop accurate and competitive estimates
  • Conduct site visits and pre-bid assessments to identify risks and opportunities
  • Determine scope breakdown between self-performed work and subcontracted trades
  • Prepare and distribute bid packages to subcontractors and suppliers
  • Develop detailed cost estimates using industry-standard software tools
  • Evaluate subcontractor and supplier proposals and provide award recommendations
  • Lead internal bid reviews and ensure alignment on pricing and execution strategy
  • Support business development efforts by contributing to win strategies and proposal positioning

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in heavy civil or roadway estimating
  • Proven experience estimating grading, paving, concrete, and transportation infrastructure projects
  • Proficiency with estimating software such as HCSS HeavyBid
  • Strong analytical, communication, and presentation skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, results-driven environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with aviation or airport-related projects
  • Familiarity with AGTEK, On-Screen Takeoff (OST), Primavera P6, or similar tools
  • Experience with DBE/SBE participation and compliance requirements

Key Skills Required:

  • Heavy civil cost estimating
  • Bid strategy development
  • Construction plan analysis
  • Subcontractor negotiation
  • Risk assessment and cost control

Why This Location? Phoenix offers a strong construction market driven by rapid population growth and infrastructure expansion. Residents enjoy year-round sunshine, access to outdoor recreation such as hiking and golf, and a growing dining and cultural scene. The area also provides a relatively affordable cost of living compared to other major metropolitan regions.
