We’re looking for a motivated and detail-driven Assistant Estimator to join a growing civil construction team. In this role, you’ll support the estimating process for wet utility and underground infrastructure projects, including water, sewer, and storm drain systems.
 
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants hands-on exposure to civil estimating while working alongside experienced professionals. You’ll gain real-world experience in quantity takeoffs, cost analysis, bid development, and project handoff — building the foundation for a long-term career in heavy civil construction.
If you enjoy working with numbers, construction plans, and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment, this role is for you.
 
What You’ll Do
 
·       Assist in preparing accurate and competitive cost estimates for wet utility projects (water, sewer, and storm drain systems).
·       Perform quantity takeoffs and analyze construction drawings and specifications.
·       Support preparation of bid proposals, subcontractor solicitations, and pricing comparisons.
·       Input and manage estimate data within estimating software, ensuring precision and completeness.
·       Coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain pricing and clarify scopes of work.
·       Maintain historical cost data and help develop unit pricing and production rates.
·       Participate in pre-bid meetings, site visits, and project reviews to better understand project scope and field conditions.
·       Assist with project handoff to operations teams by preparing detailed estimate breakdowns and documentation.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred (or equivalent field/estimating experience).
  • At least 1year of experience in civil construction or estimating, ideally with exposure to wet utilities or underground utility work.
  • Basic understanding of trenching, shoring, pipe installation methods, and utility safety requirements.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with estimating software is a plus.
  • Strong analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills.
  • High attention to detail and strong organizational abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a collaborative team environment.
