Project Estimator

As an Estimator I, you'll support accurate, competitive estimates for heavy civil and energy-sector construction projects. You'll perform quantity takeoffs, develop costs, evaluate pricing, and collaborate with estimating and operations teams to build well-supported bids.

This position is currently remote, with plans to transition to a future Austin, Texas office
. Occasional travel may be required for job walks, project site visits, bid and preconstruction activities, and company meetings at other locations.

Review plans, specifications, geotechnical information, bid documents, and project requirements.

Perform accurate quantity takeoffs for civil construction scopes.

Develop labor, equipment, material, subcontractor, and supplier costs.

Use historical cost and production information to validate assumptions.

Present assigned estimate components for review.

Evaluate scope, site conditions, quantities, production requirements, and construction constraints.

Develop an understanding of construction means, methods, sequencing, equipment, labor, and productivity.

Assist in evaluating alternative construction approaches.

Identify scope gaps, quantity discrepancies, incomplete information, and potential estimating risks.

Document assumptions, exclusions, clarifications, and supporting information.

Solicit and evaluate subcontractor, supplier, and vendor pricing.

Coordinate with operations and project teams to validate production, equipment, schedule, site conditions, and construction approach.

Participate in estimate, bid, and scope reviews and estimate-to-operations handoffs.

Build knowledge of heavy civil estimating, construction operations, and project delivery.

Develop proficiency with EPC's estimating processes, cost history, and review requirements.

Apply feedback and lessons learned to improve estimate quality.

Take ownership of assigned estimate components and demonstrate readiness for increasing responsibility.
