About The Company

Our client is an established civil construction contractor specializing in commercial earthwork and utility projects across the United States. Operating with a lean and highly efficient team, the company has built a successful referral-driven business over the last 13 years by delivering practical results and maintaining strong client relationships. The company focuses on commercial site development projects including restaurants, retail sites, gas stations, medical offices, and similar developments typically spanning two acres or less.

About The Role

We are seeking a highly capable Senior Civil Estimator to take full ownership of the estimating function and manage the entire bidding process from start to finish. This role will work directly with the company owner, who is currently responsible for estimating, project management, and business development.

The successful candidate will gradually transition from working under review and oversight to independently managing the complete estimating lifecycle and delivering client-ready proposals with minimal supervision.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced estimator who thrives in a lean environment, enjoys ownership and accountability, and is comfortable operating independently within established systems and procedures.
