Job description

Heavy Civil Estimator – Bridge & Highway Projects

Are you passionate about bringing major transportation and infrastructure projects to life? We're looking for a Heavy Civil Estimator with a strong background in bridge and highway construction to join a team that's shaping the future of regional infrastructure.

This is an onsite, full-time opportunity in Kansas City, MO with relocation assistance available for the right candidate. You'll play a key role in winning and delivering some of the largest transportation projects in the state, working alongside a collaborative team of estimators, project managers, and field leadership.

What You'll Do

  • Prepare detailed and accurate cost estimates for heavy civil construction projects, with a focus on bridges, highways, and transportation infrastructure.
  • Review plans, specifications, and bid documents to fully understand project scope and requirements.
  • Perform quantity takeoffs for structural concrete, steel, grading, paving, and related scopes.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, PMs, and field teams to develop competitive bids and identify value-engineering opportunities.
  • Work with DOT specifications and requirements (e.g., MoDOT, KDOT, or similar).
  • Coordinate with subcontractors and vendors for pricing and scope alignment.
  • Support bid strategy meetings, proposal development, and presentations to leadership.
  • Contribute to process improvement and estimating best practices to help shape future growth.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil, bridge, or highway construction (junior to senior levels welcome).
  • Solid understanding of DOT and transportation infrastructure projects.
  • Proficiency in estimating software such as HCSS HeavyBid, Bid2Win, Bluebeam, AutoCAD, and Microsoft Excel.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple estimates and deadlines.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills with both field and office teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred—but relevant field estimating experience can substitute.
  • Compensation & Benefits

    Salary Range :

  • $80,000–$100,000 for candidates with under 5 years of experience
  • $110,000–$130,000 for candidates with 5+ years of experience
  • Up to $180,000 for highly experienced candidates (15+ years)
  • Annual performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Phone, vehicle, and fuel allowances
  • Day 1 medical benefits with multiple plan options, 401(k) with match, PTO, and holidays
  • Relocation assistance based on level of experience
  • Please Note : This position is open to candidates who are authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future visa sponsorship. We are not able to consider C2C arrangements or third-party submissions.
