Heavy Civil & Underground Utilities
Bridge Construction · Northern Utah · Full-time
Bridge Construction is hiring a senior estimator who knows heavy civil and underground utilities from the bid sheet to the bottom of the trench. Estimating is the main gig. You'll price the work, keep a pulse on the jobs you win, and build the estimating system we grow on. Bring your numbers and we'll show you ours.
What you'll do
Estimate and bid water, sewer, storm and site utility work for cities, water districts and developers. Jobs run from $100K up to $5M.
Walk sites, attend pre-bid meetings and bid openings, and get to know the engineers and owners we bid for.
Build our estimating system from the ground up: price books, unit costs, production rates and bid templates. This is your chance to build it the way you've always thought it should be.
Manage the jobs you win and keep a real pulse on the jobsite: budgets, schedules, subs, change orders and closeout. When something's off in the field, you'll know.
Track estimated vs. actual on every job, and use what you learn on the next bid.
Work directly with ownership and our field leads. No layers, no runaround.
What you bring
5+ years estimating heavy civil or underground utility work
A track record you can prove: jobs you estimated, won and built, and the margin left at closeout
Takeoffs from plans, with CAD experience
A sharp read on the field. You can look at a job's numbers and know what's really happening on site.
Huge plus
Field time laying pipe or running crews. If you've been in the trench, chances are your numbers are better.
B2W Estimate (Bid2Win) or similar heavy civil bidding software
Experience setting up an estimating system or price book from scratch
Experience with public works bidding for municipalities and water districts
Pay and upside
We want someone hungry for a seat at the table and real upside, on top of a steady paycheck. When the company wins, you really win.
Base salary: $130,000–$200,000, depending on experience
Profit share: 10% of company net profit on top of base, with no cap. It's paid quarterly as the year tracks, with a portion held back and a true-up once the year closes.
Time off: paid holidays plus flexible PTO, around 4 weeks
