Senior Estimator

The Senior Estimator is a critical member of the preconstruction team responsible for developing accurate, competitive, and comprehensive cost estimates for complex heavy civil projects. This role focuses on large-scale infrastructure including site development, roadway construction, and

underground utilities, as well as industrial and mission-critical (data center) projects. The Senior Estimator collaborates closely with operations, project management, and business development to support pursuits from early conceptual budgeting through final bid submission.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare detailed cost estimates for heavy civil scopes including mass grading, sitework, underground utilities, concrete, and paving.
• Perform conceptual, design development, and final bid estimates.
• Coordinate with operations to validate means, methods, and production rates.
• Develop estimates for large-scale site development including excavation, embankment, and grading.
• Prepare estimates for private roadway and paving infrastructure.
• Estimate underground utility systems including water, sewer, storm drainage, and duct banks.

Industrial & Mission Critical Projects

• Support industrial and mission-critical (data center) civil scopes.
• Incorporate accelerated schedules, utility redundancy, and phased turnover requirements.
• Perform quantity takeoffs and develop production-driven estimates.
• Identify risks related to subsurface conditions, materials, labor, and site constraints.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of heavy civil estimating experience.
• Proven experience in sitework, utilities, and civil infrastructure.
