Estimator -- Underground Utility Contractor

Atlas Excavating, Inc.

Job Title
Atlas Excavating bids and builds the work most contractors avoid; deep sanitary sewer, wet excavation, groundwater control, bypass pumping, and heavy underground utilities. We own our equipment and self-perform dewatering, so our estimates are grounded in real production—not wishful allowances.
Role
You'll own estimates from first review through bid day submission and post-bid scope review, pricing real means/methods (crews, production, trucking, shoring, bypass, dewatering approach) for public and private work across NW Indiana / Chicagoland.
What You'll Do

Build complete bids: invite → takeoff → quotes → pricing → bid day submission → post-bid recap
Perform quantity takeoffs (pipe/structures/earthwork/restoration/traffic control as applicable)
Price means/methods with field reality: production rates, crew plans, trucking, shoring/boxes, bypass pumping, dewatering strategy
Solicit/level quotes and ensure full scope coverage (no gaps, no double-counting)
Produce a clear bid recap: assumptions, inclusions/exclusions, risk items, alternates
Support award handoff to PM/ops to protect the estimate in execution
What We're Looking For

4+ years estimating experience; underground utilities / heavy civil (sanitary/storm/water) preferred
Comfortable with public bid environments (addenda, bid forms, unit prices, bonds)
Strong plan/spec reading and disciplined documentation of assumptions
Excel proficiency; clean, repeatable estimating habits

Tools

Bluebeam + Excel (required)
HCSS HeavyBid (strongly preferred)
AGTEK (nice to have)
What You Get At Atlas

A contractor that self-performs and has the equipment to back up the plan
A seat with real ownership of bids and visibility with leadership
Health/Dental/Vision + Life/AD&D
Company-paid life insurance
Voluntary life insurance
401(k) match up to 5%
Discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution
Employee Assistance Program
Tuition Reimbursement

~ PTO

~ Paid Holidays

Location: Fort Wayne, Indiana area (within -60 miles)
