**Amundson Group**

A self-performing heavy civil contractor in the Houston area is hiring an experienced Estimator to own the full bid cycle from start to finish. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who can work independently and deliver accurate, competitive estimates without constant oversight. Remote work available to start, but you must be local to Houston.

## What you will run

- Complete bid management from takeoff through final proposal delivery
- Residential and commercial heavy civil projects, including utilities and grading work
- Estimating software: Heavy Bid and Agtek
- Pricing strategy and cost analysis to support winning bids
- Direct client and project manager coordination on scope and timeline questions

## What it takes

- Mid to senior level experience in residential or commercial heavy civil construction
- Proven track record with utilities and grading projects
- Fluent in Heavy Bid and Agtek (or quick to master them)
- Fully independent operator. You manage your own workflow, deadlines, and quality control
- Local to Houston, TX. This role requires you to be in the market
- Strong math skills, attention to detail, and the ability to ask clarifying questions before estimates go out

## Comp and benefits

Compensation up to $200K, depending on experience and performance.

## Why this role

You will work for a contractor that actually builds the work they bid. That means your estimates matter, your relationships with the field matter, and your accuracy directly impacts the company’s success. No corporate bureaucracy, no estimate-and-forget culture. This is a real seat at the table.

If you are a mid to senior estimator looking for autonomy, a solid market, and a company that values your work, reach out to Amundson Group. We are a veteran-owned recruiting firm focused exclusively on construction. We work only with contractors we trust, and we move fast.
