  • Analyze available resources (crews, equipment, backlog) to determine whether to bid as a GC or subcontractor for maximum profitability.
  • Evaluate contract specifications and how they impact the ability to perform work efficiently.
  • Identify opportunities to push competitors out or strategically allow them in when beneficial.
  • Work closely with preconstruction, contracts, and outside subcontractors to ensure accurate bidding.
  • Understand market trends, pricing strategies, and how to position the company for success.

Perks & Benefits :

  • Competitive salary (DOE).
  • Relocation assistance available - $3,500 moving expenses or 4 months of rent (capped at $4,000 total).
  • Vehicle allowance : $275 / week.
  • Employee stock purchase program.
  • Stable, long-term projects with a top-tier road-building company.
  • Note : This is an in-office, hands-on role-no remote work. Expect a 50-hour workweek minimum.

    Job Requirements

    Requirements :

  • 5 years of estimating experience in road-building / heavy civil construction.
  • At least 10 years total experience in roadway construction.
  • Strong understanding of DOT projects (south of the Mason-Dixon Line)-no need for California experience.
  • Experience using HCSS Heavy Bid (AGTEK 4D is a plus).

  • Strong contract analysis skills-must understand how contract terms impact profitability.
  • Salary : $275
