Analyze engineering plans and technical specifications to determine project scope, constructability, and feasibility.
Prepare comprehensive quantity takeoffs for earthwork, underground utilities, grading, drainage, concrete structures, process piping, mechanical systems, and other construction components.
Develop detailed construction cost estimates for labor, equipment, materials, subcontractors, and self-performed work.
Apply engineering principles to evaluate construction methods, sequencing, temporary works, and resource requirements.
Identify engineering risks including utility conflicts, excavation support, dewatering requirements, environmental constraints, traffic control, and temporary facilities.
Evaluate subcontractor and supplier proposals for completeness, technical compliance, and pricing accuracy.
Develop value engineering recommendations and alternative construction approaches to improve project efficiency and reduce costs.
Coordinate and participate in pre-bid meetings, site visits, design reviews, and constructability reviews.
Prepare Requests for Information (RFIs), engineering clarifications, assumptions, qualifications, and bid documentation.
Collaborate with owners, consulting engineers, architects, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal operations teams throughout the preconstruction process.
Analyze project schedules, production rates, equipment utilization, and labor productivity to develop accurate construction budgets.
Evaluate project risks and develop mitigation strategies related to schedule, cost, constructability, permitting, and site conditions.
Prepare conceptual estimates, design development estimates, budget estimates, and competitive hard-bid proposals for projects ranging from approximately $4 million to over $400 million.
Develop and maintain strong working relationships with clients, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
Participate in project pursuit strategy meetings and assist with proposal development.
Ensure compliance with company policies, estimating procedures, quality standards, and ethical business practices.
Perform additional duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Professional Engineer (P.E.) licensure or eligibility for licensure preferred.
Minimum of seven (7) years of progressively responsible experience in civil engineering, construction estimating, and preconstruction.
Demonstrated experience preparing conceptual budgets, detailed cost estimates, quantity takeoffs, constructability reviews, and value engineering analyses.
Extensive knowledge of civil engineering principles, construction estimating practices, and preconstruction processes for water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, geotechnical reports, and contract documents to develop accurate estimates and constructability assessments.
Strong understanding of construction costs, materials, labor, equipment, and project requirements to support accurate budgeting and estimating.
Proven ability to evaluate project risks, identify cost-saving opportunities, and develop effective value engineering solutions.
Demonstrated ability to lead and coordinate preconstruction activities while supporting project planning and execution.
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines.
Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills with the ability to explain technical information to clients, owners, engineers, architects, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal project teams.
Strong presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills with a customer-focused approach.
Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and maintain positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
Demonstrated leadership and mentoring skills with the ability to guide team members and support professional development.
Commitment to supporting company values, organizational objectives, and customer satisfaction.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, Bluebeam, PlanSwift or comparable estimating software, scheduling applications, and construction management platforms.
Ability to work effectively in both professional office environments and active construction job sites.
Ability to safely navigate construction sites, including uneven terrain, ladders, stairs, excavations, and confined spaces when necessary.
Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions and occasionally lift and move materials or equipment weighing up to 25 pounds.
Ability to operate standard office equipment and technology required for daily responsibilities.
Availability to work a full-time, exempt schedule, typically Monday through Friday, with flexibility for additional hours to meet project deadlines, attend meetings, conduct site visits, and support proposal activities.
