  • Prepare complete bid packages and support final bid submissions
  • Maintain and utilize historical cost data to improve accuracy and consistency across bids
  • Collaborate with leadership during go/no-go decisions and bid reviews

What You’ll Need

  • Strong understanding of self-performing heavy civil work and cost structures
  • Ability to independently run estimates from start to finish
  • High level of accuracy, attention to detail, and commercial awareness

  • Proficiency in estimating Software such as HCSS Heavy Bid, PlanSwift or Win2Bid
  • Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or similar is preferred but not required

What’s On Offer
