Senior Heavy Civil Estimator
Cary, NC (Raleigh Area) - Heavy civil projects across Virginia & North Carolina
The OpportunityStep into a senior seat with a family‑owned heavy civil contractor that’s growing — and busy. You’ll own the estimates on civil projects from $1M to $35M across Virginia and North Carolina: highways, earthwork, bridges, and utilities that actually get built. This is your chance to put your name on the numbers that win the work, mentor the next group of estimators, and grow with a company that backs its people and isn’t going anywhere.
WhyYou’ll Want This Role
- Real variety and scale — $1M to $35M heavy civil work, never the same job twice
- Your estimates win the work — high‑visibility impact, not a back‑office cog
- A clear path up — lead and mentor junior estimators as a senior on the team
- A stable, family‑owned company that’s growing — and treats people like it
- Strong benefits and competitive pay (details below)
- Read and interpret bid documents and plans to build accurate, competitive estimates
- Perform quantity takeoffs from civil construction plans and documents
- Define project scope and identify the disciplines and subcontractor roles needed
- Evaluate DBE participation to ensure project goals are met
- Spot constructability issues and value‑engineering opportunities early
- Coordinate pre‑bid activities and inquiries with the owner
- Develop and review project estimates and schedules ($1M–$35M)
- Build and deliver complete project bid packages
Provide direction and mentorship to junior estimators
- 4–7 years of experience as a civil construction estimator
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a construction‑related field
- Working knowledge of Department of Transportation (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below). with Heavy Bid or comparable estimating software
- Hands‑on experience with heavy highway, earthwork, bridge, and utility work
- Prior work with NCDOT and/or VDOT
- Competitive compensation based on your skills and experience
- Comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance
- 401(k) with a 4% company match
- 120 hours of paid time off in your first year, plus 8 paid holidays and a personal floating holiday
- FSA program
- A family‑owned culture where good work gets noticed — and more
- Full‑time, Monday–Friday (occasional weekend work during busy bid cycles)
- Some local travel; reliable personal transportation needed
