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.

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
