$185k–$230k | Estimator – Public & Transit Construction | Fully Paid Health Insurance | Pension or 401k (Grows Regardless of Contribution) | Suffolk County, NY

• Pension or 401k that grows regardless of your own contribution
• Normal working hours and a team-first environment

This is one of those firms where benefits and balance are part of the operating model, not bargaining chips.

This one’s for people who like big work but hate big firm behavior. You don’t need another role where:

• Evenings quietly turn into bid time
• Collaboration means competing with your own teammates
• “Culture” is something written, not lived
• Red tape slows everything down

We see people leave big firms for this team. We see a consistent trend:
Estimators coming from large contractors want to stay close to major public and transit projects, but they’re done with layers of sign­off that add no value and feeling like a small cog in a very big machine.

This firm proves you can still do meaningful, ground up public work without being buried in process.

This is a Suffolk County‑based contractor delivering a wide range of public, transit, and ground up infrastructure projects. They’ve won industry awards for how well they treat their employees, which explains why people tend to stay and why talent from much larger firms continues to join.

You’ll be involved across:

• Public sector and transit bids
• Ground up construction projects
• Collaborative estimating rather than siloed pressure

There’s room to grow here. If moving into Project Management is your long‑term goal, that path exists. If you want to remain a senior estimator and keep sharpening your craft, that’s equally valued.

• Experienced estimators in public or transit construction
• People leaving big firms to escape red tape without downsizing projects
• Team‑oriented professionals who value collaboration over competition
• Anyone looking for stability, recognition, and long‑term respect

As we all know most people don’t leave jobs, they leave environments. If you want to work on serious public projects without sacrificing your life to do it, this is worth a conversation.

Apply if you’re ready. Reach out if you want to talk it through first.
