Heavy Civil / Water Infrastructure

Los Angeles Metro Area, CA

$150k - $200k

Let’s keep this straightforward.

If you’ve been estimating real infrastructure work — pipelines, utilities, water/wastewater — and want to be somewhere your numbers actually matter, this is worth a look.

We’re partnered with a well-established, privately held contractor that self-performs its work. Strong backlog, solid reputation, and a team that actually delivers what they win.

This isn’t a back-office estimating role. You’ll be directly involved in how projects are won and set up for success.

What you’ll be doing is building detailed estimates from plans and specs, pricing work across labor, equipment, materials, and subs, and working closely with ops teams to make sure what’s bid can actually be delivered. You’ll also be spotting risks, gaps, and opportunities before they become problems.

The work sits in:

• Water / wastewater infrastructure
• Sewer, pipeline, and underground utilities
• Public works projects across California

They’re looking for someone who understands how work is actually built, not just priced. You’ll need a solid background in heavy civil or utilities estimating, experience with California public works, and the ability to manage multiple bids without things slipping.

• Exposure to project management or field operations
• Experience with estimating software like Heavy Bid

• Real ownership over your numbers
• Close alignment with ops and delivery
• Strong pipeline of work

If you want more visibility, more influence, and to be part of a team that builds what it wins — let’s talk.

Confidential conversation, always.
