Senior Construction Estimator

Do you thrive on breaking down complex construction plans and turning them into strategic, winning estimates? StaffBuffalo is excited to partner with a leading construction firm in Western New York to hire a full-time Senior Construction Estimator. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced professional who specializes in deep foundation systems and is ready to take ownership of high-stakes bids that drive business growth. This role offers excellent compensation, career stability, and a seat at the table for critical project decisions.

In this role, you'll work closely with project teams, engineers, and leadership to prepare detailed, accurate, and competitive estimates for heavy civil and foundation-focused projects. From reviewing plans and specs to identifying risks and value engineering opportunities, your attention to detail and industry knowledge will directly influence the success of each proposal. Typical scopes include driven piles, caissons, micro piles, auger cast piles, tiebacks, sheet piling, ground improvements, and soldier pile & lagging so hands-on experience with these areas is key.

This is a full-time, on-site role based in the Buffalo/Western NY area, with occasional travel required for site visits across NYS.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop comprehensive cost estimates and project bids for deep foundation and structural work
  • Analyze project drawings, specifications, soil reports, and geotechnical data
  • Prepare detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing based on labor, equipment, and material needs
  • Coordinate with internal teams, subcontractors, and vendors to gather accurate bid information
  • Attend pre-bid site visits and meetings when needed to assess site conditions and logistics
  • Assist in project planning, bid strategy, and risk management discussions
  • Maintain organized records of past bids, pricing trends, and proposal templates

What We're Looking For:

  • 5+ years of experience estimating in the deep foundation or heavy civil construction space
  • Strong knowledge of driven piles, caissons, auger cast piles, micro piles, tiebacks, sheet piling, soldier pile & lagging, and ground improvement techniques
  • Engineering degree is a plus but not required
  • Proficiency in estimating software and Microsoft Excel
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deadlines
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach
  • Willingness to travel occasionally within NYS for site assessments

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive base salary, bonus potential
  • Full health coverage for individuals; family plans subsidized by employer
  • 2 weeks PTO to start, with a flexible, relaxed time-off policy

The advertised pay range represents what we believe at the time of this job posting, that our client would be willing to pay for this position. Only in special circumstances, where a candidate has education, training, or experience that far exceeds the requirements for the position, would we consider paying higher than the stated range.

First time working with a Recruiter? No problem! We make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Communication is key to get started, all we need from you is an updated resume and some time to chat. Our team will get to know and your future career goals. Throughout the process, we will provide resume feedback, schedule and prepare you for interviews, provide client feedback, and coach you through the offer stage.
