Heavy civil estimator roles in Florida typically require hands-on experience with DOT work, bridges, utilities, wastewater, grading, and excavation. Senior and Chief Estimator positions generally call for a strong track record on large, complex projects. Pay moves based on project size and complexity, years of estimating experience, the specific sector (wastewater and tunnels tend to pay above lighter civil work), software proficiency, and whether the role carries bid leadership responsibility. Amundson Group actively recruits these positions across Florida and places estimators with heavy civil contractors nationwide.
