Job description

Senior Heavy Civil Estimator – HHWAY / Grading

Colorado-Based Contractor | Employee-Owned | $160K–$180K+ DOE

We are actively seeking a seasoned Estimator with direct experience in heavy civil and heavy highway construction to join our growing team. This is not a role for commercial, vertical, or general building estimators — you must have a proven background estimating large-scale civil infrastructure projects such as roadways and grading.

This is your opportunity to work with a self-performing, employee-owned contractor that tackles complex public works and DOT projects across the region. We control the outcome — and reward our people accordingly.

Applicants without direct heavy civil / heavy highway estimating experience will not be considered. Concrete paving, earthwork, drainage, and bridge experience is a MUST.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Prepare competitive, accurate estimates and bids for DOT and municipal infrastructure projects
  • Analyze drawings, specifications, and contract documents to determine project scope
  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for civil scopes including concrete paving, grading, utilities, and structures
  • Solicit subcontractor and vendor quotes; evaluate pricing and scope
  • Work closely with operations to hand off awarded projects for execution
  • Track historical cost data and participate in value engineering and constructability reviews
  • Attend pre-bid meetings, site walks, and maintain strong industry relationships

Required Qualifications :

  • 5+ years of experience as an estimator in heavy civil / heavy highway construction
  • Must have recent, hands-on estimating experience with concrete paving, grading / earthwork, drainage systems, and bridges
  • Strong knowledge of DOT specs, public works bid processes, and unit pricing
  • Proficient with HCSS, Agtek, or similar civil estimating software
  • Advanced skills in quantity takeoff, scope analysis, and bid preparation
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and deadline-driven
  • BS in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred (but not required if experience is strong)
  • What We Offer :

  • Competitive base salary : $160K – $180K+ DOE
  • Full benefits : medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance
  • Bonus potential based on performance
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Opportunity to join a high-performing, growth-minded team shaping Colorado’s infrastructure
  • Own Your Career. Build Colorado.
