We welcome conversations with Civil Estimators, Heavy Civil Estimators, Utility Estimators, Senior Estimators, Preconstruction Professionals, and Project Managers with strong estimating experience.

A growing Massachusetts-based heavy civil and underground utility contractor is seeking an experienced Civil / Heavy Civil Estimator to play a key role in securing and pricing some of the region's most challenging infrastructure projects.

This is an opportunity to join a field-driven contractor with a strong reputation across municipal, utility, and public-sector markets. You'll work directly with senior leadership and operations teams, helping shape project strategy before work ever reaches the field.

If you understand the realities of underground utility construction, site development, excavation, and heavy civil operations—and know how to turn that knowledge into winning bids we would appreciate speaking with you.

• Prepare detailed cost estimates for water, sewer, storm drainage, sitework, roadway, and heavy civil projects.
• Analyze plans, specifications, geotechnical reports, and contract documents.
• Develop competitive bid strategies for public and private work.

• Perform accurate takeoffs for earthwork, utilities, structures, paving, and civil scopes.

• Participate in constructability reviews and risk assessments.
• Collaborate with operations teams to validate means, methods, and project execution plans.

• Review historical cost data and production metrics.
• Identify opportunities to improve competitiveness and profitability.
