Job Description

Project Estimator:


Have experience in estimating, bidding, or project management? You might be a great fit — even if you've never worked in civil infrastructure before.

We're a Dallas-area company specializing in civil infrastructure projects, working with TxDOT, NTTA, and other major entities across Texas. It's a niche industry, but the estimating fundamentals translate directly from construction, electrical, civil, or virtually any project-based field.


If you know how to read plans, build a cost estimate, manage a bid process, and work with customers and suppliers — we can teach you the rest.


🔍 What You'll Do

  • Search project databases to identify and pursue new bid opportunities
  • Analyze plans and specifications to develop accurate, competitive cost estimates
  • Identify and flag deviations in scope and specifications within bid requests
  • Apply historical data and industry standards to build pricing models
  • Present cost estimates to customers and manage relationships through the bid process
  • Track bid status and award performance data
  • Create purchase orders with suppliers as part of the estimating workflow
  • Price change orders for project owners
  • Stay sharp through ongoing training and industry development


✅ What We're Looking For

We're open to a range of backgrounds. If you check most of these boxes, we want to hear from you:

  • Estimating or project management experience — construction, electrical, civil, infrastructure, or similar fields
  • Comfortable reading and interpreting plans, specs, and technical documents
  • Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and general Microsoft Office proficiency
  • Solid verbal communication and presentation skills
  • Highly organized with strong time management and the ability to juggle multiple bids and deadlines
  • Self-starter who can work independently and stay accountable to timelines
  • Team player who collaborates well across departments


Nice to Have (but not required):

  • Experience with TxDOT or NTTA projects
  • Background in traffic signals, ITS, roadway signage, or electrical/illumination systems



Education:

  • Bachelor's degree in Construction, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field preferred — or equivalent hands-on experience
