About the role
Our client is a commercial and public works construction company based in Oregon specializing in light civil projects with a focus on concrete and excavation work. The company pursues large-scale commercial and public works projects with a reputation for quality workmanship and professional operations. Job Description We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Estimator to join our team as a dedicated, full-time estimator working within our client's existing systems and workflows. The ideal candidate will own the full bid lifecycle - from plan review and quantity takeoff through bid submission and post-award coordination. This is a critical role where accuracy directly impacts profitability; errors in estimating can result in significant financial losses on a single project. You will be working directly with the owner and will play a key role in the company's ability to pursue and win more work.
Responsibilities
- Perform detailed quantity takeoffs from architect-provided plans using Bluebeam - including area measurements, linear items, excavation volumes, and site elements
- Review project specifications, plans, and bid requirements thoroughly to identify missing information and flag questions before bid submission
- Manage the full bid solicitation and submission process - from coordinating supplier pricing to preparing and submitting complete, accurate bids across multiple platforms (Procore, Building Connected, Construct, SmartBid)
- Track active bid invitations, manage the estimating pipeline, and maintain organized bid documentation
- Develop detailed cost estimates for concrete and excavation scopes of work
- Support post-award workflows including subcontractor coordination, submittals packages, and ongoing communication with subs and suppliers on scope and scheduling
- Collaborate with field staff and ownership on project feasibility and constructability review
Requirements
- 3+ years of estimating experience in concrete, excavation, light civil construction, or a closely related trade, with demonstrated experience on commercial and public works projects ($250K-$2M+) for U.S. clients
- Expert proficiency with Bluebeam software, including takeoff tools and annotation capabilities
- Strong ability to read and interpret architectural and civil plans with a high degree of accuracy
- End-to-end bid process experience - from takeoff and supplier pricing coordination through formal submission, plus familiarity with post-award workflows (subcontractor coordination, submittals, scope management)
- Fluent English communication skills (written and verbal) at a professional level
- Prior experience working remotely for a U.S.-based contractor is strongly preferred
- Familiarity with U.S. construction practices and business culture
- Civil engineering degree or equivalent technical background
- 5+ years of estimating experience
- Experience with public works bidding platforms and processes
- Knowledge of construction cost databases and pricing resources
- Spanish language skills
- Experience with Procore or other construction management software
