  • Identify risk, constructability issues, and value-engineering opportunities during the bid phase
  • Prepare complete bid packages and support final bid submissions
  • Maintain and utilize historical cost data to improve accuracy and consistency across bids
  • Collaborate with leadership during go/no-go decisions and bid reviews

What You’ll Need

  • Proven experience in estimating public-sector underground utility projects
  • Strong understanding of self-performing heavy civil work and cost structures
  • Ability to independently run estimates from start to finish
  • High level of accuracy, attention to detail, and commercial awareness
  • Strong communication skills when working with internal teams, suppliers, and subcontractors
  • Proficiency in estimating Software such as HCSS Heavy Bid, PlanSwift or Win2Bid
  • Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or similar is preferred but not required

What’s On Offer

  • Base salary up to $160k, depending on experience

  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Long-term career stability with a respected Central Texas contractor
  • A senior-level seat in a lean estimating team with real influence on project wins
