This is a strong opportunity for a Senior or Lead Estimator with DOT heavy civil bid experience who wants a stable employer with a deep backlog and a real voice on bid day. You'll own estimates from takeoff through bid day on highway, bridge and infrastructure projects, much of it NCDOT work. Triangle locals are great, and candidates ready to relocate are welcome.

What We're Looking For

• Contractor side estimating, not design side cost estimating

Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation

• Full benefits package

• Long runway of work, not a one project hire
• Heavy civil work on the kind of projects that build a career.
