Job description
Overview
Lead/Senior Estimator | Large Heavy Civil | Multiple Office Locations in Greater Boston
We’re working with a civil contractor in the Northeast who’s doing real work in Civil Construction and is in need of a leader in their estimating department.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
Reading and breaking down plans like a builder—not just a box-checker.
Estimating all civil scopes: sitework, excavation, utilities, grading—you know the drill.
Working the phones with subcontractors, qualifying them, and keeping pricing competitive.
Helping prep subcontracts and POs post-award.
Supporting pre-bid schedules, and weighing in on logistics, QC, and safety.
Pulling together pricing for both hard bids and negotiated work.
Coordinating with CAD/Drafters and engineers when needed—this is a team sport.
Reviewing technical specs and bid documents so nothing slips through the cracks.
Basically: being part of the full precon effort, not just “doing takeoffs.”
What They’re Looking For
5+ years of estimating experience, ideally with a civil GC or site subcontractor.
Civil Engineering degree is preferred—but if you’ve done the job, that counts.
Comfortable navigating drawings, specs, and proposals.
Good communicator—you’ll be in touch with subs, vendors, and internal teams.
Bonus if you’ve helped put together full bids or budgets, not just pieces.
Why Take the Call
Solid company, growing pipeline, steady backlog.
You’ll learn from seasoned folks who’ve been doing this for decades.
Pay and benefits are strong. So is the team.
Real projects, real responsibility, and a seat at the table early in your career.
Curious?
No pressure. No résumé sent without your okay. If this sounds close to what you want—even if the timing isn’t perfect—let’s have a proper conversation.
