Job description

Aviation Estimator - Terminal & Concourse Vertical Projects

Location: Austin, Texas (Onsite)

Industry: Aviation / Construction

Area of Specialty: Estimator / Civil Airside / Structural Concourse / MEP Systems Integration

We are seeking a high-energy, technically elite Mid‑Senior Estimator to join the Journey with AUS team. This isn't a "behind-the-scenes" role—you will be at the heart of Austin’s most significant infrastructure expansion in decades. You will own the numbers for a diverse portfolio that includes the new 20-gate Concourse B, a massive Arrivals/Departures Hall, and critical airfield taxiway reconstructions.

What You’ll Do

• Full‑Lifecycle Estimating: Develop detailed conceptual, schematic, and construction‑document estimates for vertical (concourse/terminal) and horizontal (runways/taxiways) projects.
• MEP & Systems Integration: Lead the cost‑modeling for complex MEP overhauls, including the new Central Utility Plant (CUP) and advanced Baggage Handling Systems (BHS).
• Pre‑Construction Leadership: Play a key role in Progressive Design‑Build and CMAR negotiations, ensuring cost‑certainty as designs evolve from 10% to 100%.
• Market Analysis: Monitor regional labor trends and material escalation in the booming Central Texas market to build defensible, risk‑adjusted bids.
• Mentor & Review: Provide quality control and guidance for junior estimators, ensuring "quantity take‑offs" are precise and inclusive of FAA‑mandated safety requirements.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience: 7–10 years in heavy civil or commercial construction estimating. Aviation experience is highly preferred but large‑scale "mega‑project" experience (stadiums, hospitals, or transit) is a must.
• The Toolkit: Expert proficiency in Sage (Timberline), MC2, or Destini, plus a mastery of Bluebeam and Excel.
• BIM Fluency: Ability to perform 5D take‑offs directly from Revit models.
• Regulatory Savvy: Familiarity with FAA Advisory Circulars and the logistics of working in "active" sterile environments (airport security badging, phasing, and night‑work premiums).
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or Architecture. A CCP (Certified Cost Professional) or CPE certification will move you to the top of the list.

Why Join Us?

Austin is the fastest‑growing city in America, and our airport is the heartbeat of that growth. This is your chance to lead a massive program while enjoying the incredible culture of the Silicon Hills.
