Senior Heavy Civil Estimator

Senior Heavy Civil Estimator

Step 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.

• 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
