  • Stand up and optimize digital workflows in B2W (Bid2Win) and Agtek ; transition from spreadsheets to systemized estimating.
  • Partner with Operations and Project Managers to validate means and methods, assess risk, and ensure constructability.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil or site development with proven bid wins.
  • Deep understanding of earthwork and utilities takeoffs, pricing, and bid assembly .
  • Strong proficiency with Agtek and B2W / HCSS (B2W preferred; HCSS experience transferable).
