What you can expect:

  • Exposure to a wide range of projects - commercial, residential, industrial, and public works

  • A people-first culture with a commitment to craftsmanship and collaboration

  • Clear leadership support and room to grow professionally

What You'll Bring

  • Strong estimating background in underground utilities (water, sewer, storm systems, duct bank, etc.)

  • Proven ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines

  • Skilled in reading and interpreting construction drawings, specs, and bid documents

  • Proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Excel

  • Clear communication and the ability to work cross-functionally with field and office teams

  • Prior experience mentoring junior estimators or leading estimating processes is a bonus
