Travel: Approximately 15-25% regionally for site visits and client meetings
We're hiring an Estimator II to prepare detailed, accurate cost estimates for GSI's heavy civil and geohazard mitigation projects - earthwork, formwork, reinforced concrete, shotcrete, drainage, foundations, and retaining structures - from schematic design through final construction documents. You'll own assigned trades and portions of preconstruction projects end-to-end, working closely with Operations, Superintendents, and the broader estimating team.
This is a mid-level estimating role: you'll take full ownership of the estimates assigned to you, from takeoff through final pricing, while supporting more senior estimators on larger or more complex pursuits.
Responsibilities Review drawings and specifications from contract documents (RFPs, specs) to determine quantities and calculate pricing. Communicate with subcontractors and suppliers to solicit and obtain pricing for projects. Communicate with owners to clarify scope of work for assigned projects through the RFQ process and interfacing with Project Development Engineers, as well as with clients. Determine material quantities across various scopes of work such as soil nail walls, anchored tieback systems, pinned mesh slope stabilization systems, micropiles, and other geohazard mitigation-related service lines. Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits to assess site conditions, conduct time-studies, or to gather operational data points for future estimates as needed. Solicit and review subcontractor bids for completeness, scope, and pricing. Review drawings and specifications to identify risk factors early in the pre-construction process, as well as through interfacing with Operations, Project Management, Procurement, and Executive personnel where necessary in the project lifecycle. Communicate with team members regarding scope, pricing, and construction details. Perform detailed takeoffs for self-performed work and price assigned trades. Provide complete estimates on assigned trades. Apply best-practice estimating principles from highly-conceptual Rough-Order-of-Magnitude (ROM) estimates through to detailed, construction-ready project proposals. Participate in presentations to owners, regulatory/oversight authorities, and/or other stakeholders as needed. Support subcontractor and supplier buyout for assigned trades. Identify opportunities to improve project cost or efficiency and share suggestions with the team. Required Qualifications 5+ years of construction estimating experience. Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with subcontractors, owners, and team members. Working knowledge of heavy civil construction, including earthwork, formwork, reinforced concrete, shotcrete, drainage, foundations, and retaining structures. Familiarity with construction management, architecture, or engineering. Working knowledge of the trades involved in estimating and constructing heavy civil infrastructure, including how scopes of work fit together. Ability to create and deliver presentations. Ability to work additional hours as needed to meet project deadlines. Valid driver's license. Working knowledge of MS Office and Excel. Preferred Qualifications Knowledge of the construction drilling industry. Experience with estimating software (B2W preferred; HCSS HeavyBid, Bluebeam, or Excel also useful). Physical Demands & Work Environment Ability to conduct site visits on uneven, sloped, or remote terrain. Combination of office-based estimating work and field site assessments. Approximately 15-25% travel within the region for site visits and client meetings. Workplace Expectations Exercise honesty, integrity, and respect with all clients and co-workers. Maintain a professional appearance and demeanor, with a positive attitude. Communicate effectively with co-workers and clients. Work with accuracy, efficiency, and attention to detail. Maintain good attendance and work safely in compliance with all safety policies. Respect the work environment and keep it as neat and clean as possible. Exercise initiative to learn new skills and help co-workers when possible. Benefits Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options with additional programs available when enrolled. Mental health benefits. 401(k) plan to help save for your future, including company match. In addition to 7 observed holidays, salaried team members have flexible paid time off. Paid parental leave.
