Sitework Estimator

Sitework Estimator — Growing Civil Contractor

If you're an estimator who's tired of chasing overhead-heavy vertical work, this one's worth a look. A growing civil contractor is adding a Sitework Estimator to their team as their earthwork and infrastructure pipeline keeps expanding — meaning this isn't a "fill a gap" hire, it's a "we need more capacity to keep winning work" hire.

What makes this different

This isn't a desk job where you hand off a bid and never see it again. You'll be involved from takeoffs through bid day, and you'll stay connected to the project after award when your input matters most during execution. If you like seeing your numbers turn into real dirt moving, this is built for that.

What you'll be doing

• Reviewing plans and specs, running quantity takeoffs on sitework scopes — earthwork, utilities, foundations
• Building estimates that actually win, using historical data, vendor pricing, and sub input (not just plugging in a formula and hoping)
• Working directly with subs and vendors to compare pricing and lock in the best options
• Being in the room for bid-day crunch time and final submission packages
• Staying involved as jobs transition to operations — your estimating knowledge doesn't just disappear after award
• Building real relationships with subs/vendors that pay off on the next bid

What you bring

• Engineering degree or equivalent field experience — they care more about what you know than where the piece of paper came from
• 2+ years in estimating, field engineering, or site/civil construction
• Solid grasp of earthwork, excavation, and site utilities
• You can read civil drawings and do takeoffs without hand-holding
• Comfortable in Agtek, Viewpoint/ProContractor, AutoCAD, and Excel
