Heavy Civil Estimator - Infrastructure and Sitework

Position: Heavy Civil Estimator – Infrastructure & Siteworks

Location: Remote (US Shift)

Compensation: Competitive, based on experience

Role Summary

We’re hiring a seasoned Heavy Civil Estimator to lead cost modeling and bid development for complex infrastructure and site development projects across the United States. This remote role is ideal for professionals with deep expertise in civil estimating—especially in stormwater systems, mass grading, and underground utilities. You’ll be instrumental in shaping competitive proposals, validating constructability, and driving precision in preconstruction planning.

Core Responsibilities

Bid Strategy & Scope Alignment

• Develop and review comprehensive bid packages, including subcontractor scopes and vendor pricing
• Ensure all submissions meet technical, commercial, and competitive benchmarks

Quantity Take-Offs & Earthwork Modeling

• Execute detailed take-offs from civil drawings: grading, drainage, utilities, demolition, and site improvements
• Generate cut/fill maps and validate earthwork volumes using topographic data and CAD overlays
• Example: Derive storm drain quantities from engineered grading plans and reconcile with survey contours

Estimating Tools & Cost Systems

• Operate advanced estimating platforms (e.g., HeavyBid, Civil 3D, Bluebeam, PlanSwift) for take-offs and cost analysis
• Maintain dynamic cost databases for labor, equipment, and materials across regions

Survey Interpretation & Constructability Review

• Analyze topographic surveys to assess elevation changes, slope constraints, and grading feasibility
• Integrate survey data into estimating workflows to identify constructability risks and optimize site balance

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Coordinate with project managers, engineers, and procurement teams to align estimates with design intent and execution strategy
• Engage subcontractors and suppliers to secure competitive, scope-aligned pricing

US Market Expertise

• Interpret US construction documents, codes, and specifications with precision
• Deliver estimates tailored to US infrastructure standards—stormwater systems, grading, utilities, and siteworks

Reporting & Historical Benchmarking

• Prepare detailed estimate summaries, variance reports, and supporting documentation for internal and client review
• Maintain historical cost data to inform future bids and improve pricing accuracy
