Job Description

Senior Estimator – Wet Utilities / Civil Construction

Location :  Corona, CA |  Salary :  $120K–$165K + ~15% Bonus

ParkerBeth Search Partners – Confidential Search

ParkerBeth Search Partners is seeking a  Senior Estimator  for one of Southern California’s most respected wet-utility contractors. This role is ideal for a detail-driven estimating professional with deep experience in  sewer, water, storm drain, and fire line  projects who thrives in a collaborative, people-first culture. As the  right hand to the Chief Estimator , you will play a key role in shaping bid strategy, mentoring the estimating team, and supporting high-impact civil construction projects across the region.

What’s In It for You

  • Base salary  $120K–$165K  + ~ 15% annual bonus
  • Opportunity to  step in and lead the department  when the Chief Estimator is unavailable
  • Direct mentorship and growth pathway into higher-level preconstruction leadership
  • Join a  Top Workplace  organization known for humility, teamwork, and long-term employee investment
  • Work in a stable, family-oriented culture where leadership values fairness, openness, and collaboration

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the preparation of detailed cost estimates for wet-utility and civil pipeline projects
  • Develop complete takeoffs, quantity measurements, and cost breakdowns for materials, labor, and equipment
  • Attend pre-bid meetings, site walks, and RFQ discussions; gather and document all required technical information
  • Own estimate assumptions, pricing logic, and risk evaluation for each pursuit
  • Collaborate with project managers and construction teams on planning, constructability, and bid execution
  • Review, coordinate, and submit competitive bid packages
  • Provide  mentorship and training  to junior estimators and support staff
  • Step in to support or temporarily oversee estimating operations as needed
  • Partner cross-functionally with internal teams while maintaining strong client and vendor relationships
  • What You Bring

  • 10+ years  of estimating or project management experience within wet utilities or heavy civil construction
  • Strong ability to interpret civil drawings, water district standards, soils reports, and technical specifications
  • Advanced proficiency in on-screen takeoff tools (Planswift, OST, Bluebeam) and estimating platforms (HCSS, HeavyBid, Sage / Timberline)
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to present estimate findings to leadership and project teams
  • A humble, team-oriented demeanor aligned with a  family-driven, union-supported workplace
  • Leadership qualities that reflect fairness, mentorship, and a collaborative approach—not intimidation
  • Why This Role Matters

    This Senior Estimator will directly influence bid competitiveness, project strategy, and long-term pipeline growth. You will support a company that values its people, promotes from within, and invests heavily in developing the next generation of leaders in the construction industry.
