Senior Estimator – Heavy Civil

Location : Draper, Utah

Must-Haves :

  • 10+ years of heavy civil / highway estimating experience ( underground utility experience preferred)
  • Proven success winning $50–$100M projects using bottom-up estimating strategies
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management (or equivalent technical training / field experience)
  • Expertise with Bid2Win and strong proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
  • Experience with takeoff software (AgTEK, Bluebeam, Planswift) and scheduling tools (Primavera)
  • Familiarity with C MAR, CMGC, and Design-Build delivery methods
  • Strong leadership and mentoring ability for developing junior estimators

About the Company

A heavy civil contractor established in 1970's, specializing in large-scale infrastructure across the western U.S. The firm delivers bridges, highways, water systems, and rail projects with over 600 employees. Known for self-performing structural concrete, earthwork, and geotechnical services , it emphasizes efficiency, quality, and cost-effective solution

About the Role

As a Senior Estimator , you’ll play a critical role in developing accurate, competitive bids for high-profile heavy civil and highway projects. This position goes beyond crunching numbers—you’ll own the estimating process, lead strategy, and help shape projects that will serve communities for decades. You’ll also have the opportunity to mentor junior estimators and contribute to the long-term growth of the preconstruction team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead Estimating Efforts : Review specifications, drawings, and bid documents; develop comprehensive estimating plans.
  • Develop Detailed Estimates : Build complete bottom-up estimates including takeoffs, subcontractor strategies, and compliance with all requirements.
  • Ensure Accuracy : Maintain thorough documentation and organized records to support all assumptions and figures.
  • Leverage Data & Insights : Utilize historical cost reports and production data to refine unit costs and man-hour projections.
  • Present with Impact : Confidently present strategies and estimates to senior leadership, preparing materials and recommendations.
  • Stay Current : Maintain professional expertise through ongoing education, networking, and participation in industry associations.
  • Mentor & Guide : Provide training, support, and knowledge-sharing to junior estimators to strengthen team capabilities.
  • This is a chance to lead from the front —owning the process from first plan review through final bid submission—while working on infrastructure projects that leave a lasting impact.

    Equal Opportunity Employer – All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or other protected characteristics.
