We’re looking for an experienced Senior Estimator to join a team that’s been building major roadway, bridge, and civil projects for years. This is a hands-on role for someone who knows heavy highway construction inside and out and wants to be part of a stable, tight-knit group.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Reviewing plans, specs, and bid documents for state and federal highway projects
  • Performing take-offs and preparing accurate, detailed cost estimates
  • Coordinating with subcontractors and vendors to gather quotes and pricing
  • Using HCSS (Heavy Bid), P6, AutoCAD, and other estimating/scheduling tools
  • Partnering with project managers to review bids, track costs, and support project execution
  • Attending team meetings and contributing to bid strategy discussions
  • Maintaining and building strong relationships with suppliers and subcontractors

What we’re looking for:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Mechanical Engineering, or Construction Management
  • At least 10 years of heavy highway construction estimating experience
  • Solid background with estimation software (HCSS, Primavera P6, AutoCAD)
  • Strong leadership and communication skills
  • Stable work history with proven success in estimating roles
  • Field experience and strong plan/contract reading ability
  • Ability to work well in a collaborative, team-first environment

Why you’ll want to join:
This is a chance to step into a long-term role where your expertise is valued, your input matters, and your day-to-day work impacts real infrastructure projects in the community. You’ll be part of a supportive, professional group that also knows how to keep things approachable and human.
