Description du poste

Senior Estimator - National Bridge Fabricator (Upper Midwest)

The Story

You already know how to estimate steel. You've priced plate girders, trusses, heavy civil packages

But now you want more than "another bid." You want influence and ownership.

A role where your work shapes the projects that shape America.

This national bridge fabricator is one of the few places where an estimator can work on $10M-$100M+ bridge projects while being groomed for genuine leadership. Their VP of Estimating is retiring in 5-7 years, and they're intentionally hiring someone who can grow into that seat.

If you thrive on complexity, collaboration, and big steel, this is the kind of role that changes your trajectory.

Why This Company?

A national leader in bridge fabrication, producing 60,000+ tons of steel annually across multiple plants. They hold AISC fracture‑critical and sophisticated paint endorsements, operate near rail/road/water transport routes, and have tripled in size over the last five years.

This is a business built for scale - and still accelerating.

What You'll Own

• Estimate heavy civil and bridge fabrication projects
• Interpret drawings, specifications, and bid documents
• Estimate labour, materials, and subcontract costs
• Lead bid reviews with senior leadership
• Prepare change orders
• Mentor junior estimators
• Coordinate proposals across estimating, detailing, purchasing, and production

This is a senior seat with real influence.

What You Bring

• 8-12 years estimating/fabrication experience in heavy civil/bridge projects
• Ability to interpret AWS, AREMA, AISC COSP, DOT documents
• Strong Microsoft Office + MS Project capability
• Analytical, persistent, multi‑tasking mindset

If you've ever been the "go‑to" person for complex bids, you'll fit right in.

Compensation & Benefits

• $100,000-$130,000 base
• Up to $150,000 for top‑tier relocation candidates
• 12.5% bonus (based on last year)
• Relocation assistance
• 10 days PTO
• Full healthcare + family plans
• 401(k)
• Life insurance
