Have you spent years managing schedules, resolving field issues, negotiating change orders, and delivering complex heavy civil projects? If you're ready to apply that experience in a more flexible, strategic role - without the constant pressure of life on a job site- we would like to talk.
We're seeking a Structures Cost Estimator / Constructability Specialist who understands how projects are built and can translate that knowledge into reliable estimates, identify risk, constructability evaluations, and help project teams make better decisions before construction begins.
This role is ideal for experienced construction professionals who want to remain engaged in major infrastructure projects while shifting focus to strategy, planning, and problem-solving rather than daily field emergencies.

What are the core responsibilities for the role?
- Develop conceptual, historical, and production-based estimates for Structural Heavy Highway and Heavy Civil infrastructure projects
- Coordinate with industry contacts to maintain knowledge of current pricing and bidding conditions to aid in the development of project budgets
- Provides structural estimates, cost control strategies, cost forecasting, constructability reviews, and risk analysis for construction projects
- Maintains files of project estimates and supporting backup documentation for reference during project execution
- Work individually and with project teams to assist clients with estimating services (both pre and post letting) during plan and specification development and change order negotiations
Qualifications, Skills, and Competencies:
- BS in Engineering, Construction, or related field plus 7 years’ experience OR more than 15 years’ experience in structural heavy civil estimating, construction management, field engineering, and/or estimating
- Working knowledge in use of HCSS HeavyBid and/or other estimating software applications

- Ability to work in a collaborative environment with project teams and owner’s representatives
- Knowledge of state and local construction specifications and software systems
