Job description
🚦 Estimator | Traffic Signals, ITS & Civil Infrastructure
Most estimating jobs are about winning bids. This one is about helping build the infrastructure that keeps cities moving.
We're recruiting for an Estimator who can take complex transportation and infrastructure projects and turn them into accurate, competitive, and executable estimates. This role supports projects involving traffic signals, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), roadway lighting, and civil projects.
If you've spent time in estimating, project management, field operations, or the skilled trades and understand how infrastructure projects are actually built—not just how they're priced—this could be a great opportunity.
What You'll Do:
Prepare detailed cost estimates for traffic signal, ITS, roadway lighting, pump station, airport electrical, and municipal infrastructure projects
Perform quantity takeoffs from plans, specifications, and contract documents
Review drawings and bid packages to determine project scope and requirements
Estimate electrical construction components including conduit systems, wiring, lighting, and traffic signal installations
Estimate civil construction components including foundations, drainage, curb, sidewalk, and roadway improvements
Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotations
Develop labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor pricing
Analyze project risks, constructability concerns, and value engineering opportunities
Collaborate with project managers, field operations, vendors, and leadership teams throughout the bidding process
Assist with proposal development, bid submissions, and project handoff meetings
What We're Looking For:
Required:
High School Diploma or GED
5-7+ years of construction-related experience
Experience in estimating, project management, field supervision, or skilled trades
Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and contract documents
Working knowledge of electrical construction, traffic signals, roadway lighting, ITS, or related infrastructure
Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Microsoft Office proficiency, especially Excel
Strong communication and organizational skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
Preferred Qualifications:
Estimating experience within traffic signals, ITS, roadway lighting, pump stations, or municipal infrastructure
Civil construction estimating experience involving drainage, roadway improvements, curb, and sidewalk work
Project management experience
Traffic Signal Technician, Journeyman Electrician, or similar field background
Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related education
Experience with DOT, municipal, county, or public works projects
Experience with estimating software and bid management platforms
Experience assembling complete bid packages
What Makes This Role Different?
This isn't simply filling an estimating seat.
This is a succession-planning opportunity where you'll work directly with an experienced estimator who is preparing for retirement. The goal is to transfer years of institutional knowledge and position someone for long-term growth and leadership within the organization.
At GreenArrow, culture fit isn't optional.
Our leaders are expected to live our core values every day:
People & Family – We invest in our people and make sure everyone goes home safe.
🤝 Customer Commitment – We do what we say and deliver for our customers and teammates.
⭐ Excellence – We take pride in our work and continuously raise the bar.
Trust – We build credibility through accountability, transparency, and follow-through.
Position is located in Lodi, NJ and our strong preference is to have this person in the office, but we are open to hybrid and remote candidate
