Job Description

Are you an experienced estimator looking for your long-term home?

This is a full-time opportunity with a highly respected civil contractor known for its people-first culture, high retention, and strong reputation across the Southeast. They are seeking a data-driven, analytical estimator with proven experience in civil site development, underground utilities, and roadway work.

If you're someone who thrives in a structured, performance-driven environment and wants the resources, tools, and team to succeed, this may be the ideal next step in your career.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll support preconstruction strategy and execution across a range of civil projects—public and private. Key responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing plans, specs, and geotechnical reports to define scope and strategy
  • Performing detailed takeoffs and cost breakdowns for sitework, utilities, and roadway elements
  • Identifying risks and opportunities within RFPs and setting bid priorities
  • Leading pre-bid site visits, vendor outreach, and subcontractor coordination
  • Producing competitive, high-quality bid packages with narrative and VE options
  • Supporting project managers and operations with pricing, durations, and constructability input
  • Mentoring junior team members and contributing to process improvement
  • Staying current on market rates, material trends, and DOT standards

What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • Minimum 3 years of experience estimating civil/site development work
  • Strong technical skills in HCSS, Bid2Win, Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Excel
  • Familiarity with FDOT or regional municipal bidding practices
  • Ability to read and interpret plans, specs, and soil reports
  • Excellent math, organizational, and communication skills
  • A track record of collaboration, ownership, and follow-through
  • Degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management preferred

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Competitive salary range: $90,000–$145,000 based on experience
  • Performance bonuses + company-wide profit sharing
  • Company vehicle and fuel allowance (as needed for business use)
  • Cell phone allowance
  • Unlimited paid time off and paid holidays
  • 90% of employee medical premiums covered
  • Dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
  • 401(k) with 100% match on the first 4%
  • Strong mentorship, team culture, and training support

This company takes pride in hiring not just skillsets—but the right people. If you're committed to doing excellent work, improving every day, and building a long-term future, this role offers both challenge and reward.
