**Amundson Group**

A self-performing heavy civil contractor is hiring a Chief Estimator to lead estimating operations from a corporate headquarters location. This is a leadership role managing a full department, overseeing bids for bridges, mass earthwork, and industrial concrete projects, and mentoring senior and junior estimators. Relocation required; no remote work.

## What You Will Run

- Lead and manage the full estimating department
- Oversee bid preparation for heavy civil, bridge, mass earthwork, and industrial concrete projects
- Mentor and develop senior and junior estimators
- Collaborate with operations and executive leadership on go/no-go decisions and bid strategy
- Ensure accuracy and competitiveness of all submitted estimates

## What It Takes

- Civil Engineering degree required
- Heavy civil experience is the core requirement: bridges, mass earthwork, industrial concrete, highway work
- Proven track record leading an estimating team
- Experience at companies with similar scope and self-perform capabilities
- Commercial experience is a plus but can be learned on the job

## The Opportunity

Our client has exhausted the local candidate market and is actively recruiting from other states and Canada. If you have heavy civil estimating leadership experience and are open to relocation, this is a direct conversation. Visa sponsorship is available for qualified Canadian candidates.
