Job description

Confidential Atlanta-area site development contractor is looking for a Senior Estimator to join its estimating team.

This is not a junior estimating seat. The company needs someone who can price full site packages, understand the dirt, read civil plans cold, and build a bid without hand-holding.

The work is site construction, grading, earthwork, underground utilities, paving, erosion control, storm drain, sanitary sewer, water main, site concrete, and subgrade prep . Project sizes generally run from $4M–$30M .

This is a strong seat for an estimator who wants autonomy, direct access to leadership, and a real growth path inside an established Atlanta contractor.

Compensation

$130K–$170K base salary + 20% bonus potential
Full benefits package.

Relocation may be considered for the right person.

What They Need

The company is looking for a Senior Estimator who has priced real sitework / heavy civil work, not just vertical building packages.

This person should be able to:

• Price grading, utilities, paving, erosion control, storm, sewer, water, and site concrete scopes
• Read civil plans and identify scope gaps early
• Perform quantity takeoffs and structure bid strategy
• Work with ownership / senior leadership on bid approach
• Coordinate subcontractor and supplier pricing
• Support clean handoff to operations after award
• Price work independently without needing to be managed through every step

Must-Have Background

• 5+ years estimating sitework, earthwork, grading, underground utilities, or heavy civil work
• Experience with self-perform civil/site contractors strongly preferred
• Track record bidding projects in the $4M–$30M range
• Strong civil plan reading and quantity takeoff experience
• AGTEK and HCSS HeavyBid experience preferred
• Ability to price work independently and defend the estimate
• Atlanta-area experience preferred, but relocation is open for the right fit

Nice-to-Have

• Carlson, Trimble Business Center, Bluebeam, or related takeoff tools
• Local subcontractor / supplier relationships in the Atlanta market
• Experience mentoring junior estimators or supporting estimating leadership
• Field background in grading, utilities, or site development

Why This Role Is Worth a Look

This is a high-autonomy role with an established contractor that has real work, real upside, and room for the right estimator to grow.

The company is expanding its estimating bench and wants someone who can come in, own the work, and help shape the next stage of the estimating group.

This is a good fit for someone who is tired of being boxed into a narrow estimating role and wants a bigger seat with more influence.

Best-Fit Candidate

The best fit is probably a Senior Estimator, Lead Estimator, Estimating Manager, Chief Estimator, or strong civil estimator currently working for a sitework, grading, utility, paving, heavy civil, or self-perform contractor.

Someone who knows the full site package and can price the work without a lot of hand-holding will get serious consideration.
