PM​/Estimator - Utility and HWY Construction

Project Manager / Estimator – Heavy Civil Construction

Turn your field experience into your next career move.

A family-owned heavy civil contractor in the Siouxland area is looking to add a Project Manager/Estimator to their growing team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has spent time in the field—Superintendents, Foremen, Field Engineers, or experienced utility/civil professionals—and is ready to learn the business from the project management and estimating side.

You don't have to already be a seasoned PM or Estimator. If you understand how heavy civil projects are built, have a strong work ethic, and are willing to learn, this company is willing to invest in you and help you develop into the role.

Your field experience is valuable. You already understand crews, production, equipment, materials, schedules, and the challenges that come with getting a project built.

Now you have the opportunity to take that knowledge into the office and learn the estimating, budgeting, scheduling, client management, and financial side of the business.

You'll work alongside an experienced team and gradually take on more responsibility as you grow into the position.

And perhaps best of all, the work is local. Projects are typically located within about a 50-mile radius of Sioux City, allowing you to build your career without sacrificing your evenings and weekends to constant travel.

• Estimate and manage heavy civil and underground utility projects from start to finish
• Prepare bids and review plans, specifications, and contract documents

• Strong communication and organizational skills

• Excellent work-life balance
• Competitive compensation
• Performance-based bonus opportunities

If you've built your career in the field and are ready to learn what happens on the other side of the project, this could be an excellent next step.

This company isn't looking for someone who checks every box on paper. They're looking for the right person—someone with construction experience, the right attitude, and the drive to learn and grow.

If that's you, we'd love to talk.
