  • Participate in bid reviews and post-bid evaluations to ensure cost-effective and competitive pricing.
  1. Risk Management:
  • Identify and analyze project risks, including site conditions, environmental factors, and other variables that may impact cost or schedule.
  • Provide recommendations on risk mitigation strategies, including scope adjustments or alternative approaches.
  1. Project Tracking and Reporting:
  • Monitor ongoing project costs and provide support to the project team during construction.
  • Track project changes, adjustments, and variations to ensure estimates remain aligned with actual costs.
  • Prepare periodic cost reports and updates for management and stakeholders.

  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in estimating for civil projects, specifically underground wet utilities (water, sewer, storm) and mass excavation.
  • Strong knowledge of construction materials, methods, and industry standards, particularly for utility installation and earthwork.

  • Excellent understanding of local codes, regulations, and permitting processes.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with diverse teams and clients.
  • Ability to read and interpret complex civil engineering drawings and specifications.
  • Detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
