This field-first role emphasizes safety, environmental compliance, and cost-conscious scope management across estimating, engineering, and construction interfaces.

Qualifications

• Experience supporting civil engineering, civil construction, project engineering, estimating, pre-construction, or field execution.
• Experience interpreting civil drawings, specifications, scope documents, design assumptions, quantity information, and technical requirements.
• Experience coordinating work across engineering, estimating, construction, subcontractors, vendors, or other project stakeholders.
• Experience identifying, documenting, communicating, and escalating project risks, open items, scope gaps, or changes.
• Experience using project data and technical information to support decisions affecting cost, schedule, constructability, quality, safety, environmental compliance, or field execution.

• Identify, assign, communicate, and escape material civil risks, missing inputs, assumptions, scope gaps, dependencies, exclusions, quantity variances, and unresolved decisions before they affect safety, compliance, procurement, cost, schedule, quality, or field productivity.
• Support high-priority targets by reviewing site and design information and developing civil bid forms, estimate assumptions, customer clarifications, subcontract exhibits, and scope splits.
• Coordinate with engineers of record to review design inputs and deliverables for scope alignment, owner and permit requirements, quantity impacts, constructability, field readiness, and commercial expectations.
• Track civil quantities and cost drivers, and support timely resolution of RFIs, field questions, submittals, design clarifications, test results, nonconformances, as-built reviews, and sequencing concerns.
• Lead civil handoffs by communicating scope, assumptions, exclusions, quantities, risks, permit requirements, subcontractor boundaries, customer commitments, and open items; capture lessons learned to improve future scope definition and execution.
