- Maintain consistent follow-up on submitted bids to improve win rates
- Ensure smooth handoff of awarded projects to project management teams
- Support change order pricing and post-bid revisions
Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in heavy civil or geotechnical construction estimating
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred
- Strong knowledge of earth retention, ground improvement, and deep foundation systems
- Experience working with general contractors, engineers, and project owners
- Proficiency with tools such as Bluebeam, AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, and CRM platforms
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
- Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Willingness to travel for site visits as required
What Success Looks Like
- Accurate and competitive bids aligned with project scope and risk
- Strong client relationships built on trust and reliability
- Consistent achievement of win rate, margin, and volume targets
- Seamless coordination between preconstruction and operations teams
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience)
- Performance-based bonus opportunities
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with employer match
- Paid time off and company holidays
- Opportunities for career growth and professional development
Why Join
Our client offers a collaborative, performance-driven environment where estimators play a critical role in shaping project success. You’ll have the opportunity to work on technically challenging projects while contributing to a team that values accountability, innovation, and long-term relationships.
