Estimator

Estimator

A self-performing civil construction contractor in Florida is hiring an experienced Estimator to lead their estimating function and grow into a leadership role. This is a full-time position with real ownership potential and a clear path to run the company within five years. If you have 4-5 years estimating projects from $200K to $15M and you’re looking to plant roots, this is the role.

What you will run

• Review construction documents and prepare accurate quantity takeoffs for civil construction work including excavation, utilities, stormwater systems, concrete, and roadway installation.
• Conduct site visits to assess existing conditions and confirm the proposed scope of work.
• Prepare and submit requests for information to design professionals to clarify conditions and improvements.
• Develop value-engineering options that strengthen contract-award opportunities.
• Prepare bid packages, solicit subcontractor proposals, and review quotes for scope compliance.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with owners, material suppliers, and subcontractors.
• Prepare and administer contracts, change orders, and billings.
• Analyze cost data and prepare monthly work-in-progress projections.
• Estimate and negotiate project changes, then revise contracts as needed.
• Attend preconstruction meetings and gather relevant project information.
• Provide input and support for project phasing and resource scheduling.

What it takes

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, or related field preferred.
• At least four to five years of experience in civil construction estimating and project management, including earthwork, piping, concrete, and roadway work.
• Experience with HCSS HeavyBid, HeavyJob, and AGTEK preferred.
• Character and stability matter most. We’re looking for someone who commits and stays, not someone who moves every year.

Comp and benefits

Salary range: $110,000 to $150,000 per year. The company is employee-owned and offers an ESOP program. After five years, you become fully vested with 20% ownership in the company. Relocation assistance is available.
