Job description

SENIOR ESTIMATOR- HEAVY CIVIL/HIGHWAY – PHOENIX, ARIZONA

WEBCO HR, Inc. is seeking a Senior Estimator for Heavy Civil and HIghway for one of our clients located in Phoenix, Arizona

SUMMARY

If you’re a Senior Heavy Civil Estimator who’s tired of being a “button-pusher” and ready to own bids, influence strategy, and win meaningful work, our client is looking for you. With this company, estimating isn’t back-office support — it’s a competitive advantage. They trust experienced estimators to think critically, challenge assumptions, and help drive how the company grows in Arizona’s most complex infrastructure markets.

RESPONSIBILITIES

This is a role for someone who wants authority, accountability, and respect — and who thrives in a fast-moving, high-expectation environment. You’ll lead estimating efforts for major heavy civil infrastructure projects across Arizona, spanning scopes such as mass grading and earthwork, concrete structures, aggregate placement, asphalt paving, airport taxiways and aprons, PCCP, and other transportation infrastructure work. You’ll partner closely with the Chief Estimator, project managers, and executive leadership to develop smart, competitive bid strategies that balance accuracy, risk, and profitability — not just the lowest number on bid day.

• You lead bids, not just take direction
• Your experience is trusted and listened to at the leadership table.
• You work on large-scale, technically complex heavy civil and aviation projects.
• You’re backed by an operations team that executes what you sell.
• You join a contractor with a strong backlog and long-term stability.
• You’re surrounded by people who want to win — and know how to do it.
• Analyze plans, specs, and geotechnical reports with a risk-first mindset.
• Perform site visits and pre-bid evaluations .
• Define self-performed vs. subcontracted scopes.
• Build and issue subcontractor and supplier bid packages.
• Drive pricing strategy, including DBE/SBE participation when required.
• Develop full estimates using HCSS Heavy Bid (takeoffs, logic, assemblies).
• Analyze subcontractor and supplier quotes; make award recommendations.
• Lead bid reviews and challenge assumptions before bid day.
• Influence how the Company positions itself to win work — consistently.

REQUIREMENTS

• A Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5 plus years of heavy civil / roadway estimating experience (aviation a strong plus).
• Proven success estimating grading, concrete, asphalt, aggregate, and transportation scopes.
• Advanced experience with estimating software, including:
• AGTEK, OST, P6, Excel (or similar).
• Strong communication skills and confidence presenting to leadership.
• Competitive mindset with a “win the work” mentality.
• Professional, direct, and collaborative — no egos, no excuses .

COMPENSATION

• $100,000 - $130,000.
• 10% annual bonus.
• 401(k) with 5% company match.
• Paid vacation & holidays.
• Clear runway for growth into lead or preconstruction leadership roles.
• Work-life balance that respects performance — not micromanagement.

THE COMPANY

Our client is forging a new path forward with environmentally responsible construction, services, and smart solutions to answer the nation’s infrastructure needs today and beyond.

They are a driving force in providing innovative infrastructure solutions for the betterment of our employees, communities, customers, and investors.
