  • Interpret project plans, specifications, and geotechnical reports to pinpoint scope, risks, and opportunities
  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and identify every required work activity
  • Source and engage subcontractors and material suppliers
  • Track, assess, and pursue new project opportunities
  • Guide the handoff of awarded projects from Estimating to Operations
  • Support Operations with change order clarification and pricing
  • Bring forward ideas that improve project outcomes and strengthen our competitive edge
What We're Looking For
  • 1-3 years of heavy civil earthwork estimating experience, a bachelor's degree in engineering or construction management, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
