Heavy Civil Estimator - NYC

See the job before it's built. Price it. Win it. Build it.

A growing heavy civil contractor is adding an experienced Estimator to its preconstruction team. This is a key role for someone who knows how to turn drawings, specifications, quantities, and subcontractor pricing into a competitive, accurate bid.

You'll have the opportunity to work on major NYC civil and infrastructure pursuits and play a meaningful role in deciding which projects the company wins and builds.

• Prepare estimates for heavy civil and infrastructure projects


• Review drawings, specifications, bid documents, and scopes


• Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and cost analysis


• Develop labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor pricing


• Solicit and level subcontractor and supplier proposals


• Prepare bid summaries and final estimates


• Identify scope gaps, risks, opportunities, and value-engineering options


• Work closely with Operations and Project Management during pursuit and turnover

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of heavy civil estimating experience


• Strong background in utilities, underground, excavation, transportation, water/sewer, or infrastructure


• Hands-on HCSS experience required — HeavyBid experience strongly preferred


• Strong understanding of civil means & methods, production rates, labor, equipment, and materials


• NYC estimating / public works experience strongly preferred


• Ability to read and interpret complex civil plans and specifications


• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred

If you can look at a set of plans and know where the money is — and where the risk is — this could be a very good opportunity.
