Architectural Estimator – Civil & Environmental Construction

Location: Apex, NC

The Opportunity

If you are a detail-oriented estimator who thrives on precision, collaboration, and seeing your work come to life in large-scale projects, this role offers a chance to make a visible impact. You will help shape competitive bids that win projects across civil and environmental construction — from water and wastewater facilities to bridges, power plants, and complex infrastructure. This is a career path where your technical expertise and problem-solving skills directly influence project success.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Each project brings unique technical complexities that demand resourcefulness, accuracy, and strong coordination across multiple trades.
• Based in Apex, NC, with opportunities to contribute to impactful regional projects, you’ll gain exposure to diverse environments and client needs.
• Long-term career advancement is supported by structured training, mentorship, and opportunities to lead estimates on larger scopes.
• You will join a family-oriented culture that values integrity, teamwork, and doing things the right way — principles that have guided the company for decades.
• This is a financially stable, well-established contractor with a reputation for quality and consistency across the region.

What You Will Do

• Analyze project documents, specifications, and addenda for assigned divisions.
• Perform accurate quantity takeoffs and assemble detailed division estimates.
• Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits to gather critical project insights.
• Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and vendor pricing, comparing against self-performance options.
• Forecast labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs with precision.
• Support bid day preparation and submissions, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and competitiveness.
• Provide seamless estimate hand-off to project management teams on awarded jobs.
• Build and maintain strong vendor/subcontractor relationships while staying attuned to industry pricing trends.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction, or a related field — or equivalent technical training/experience.
• At least two years of estimating, engineering, or construction experience related to architectural scopes (masonry, structural steel, light gauge framing, doors/windows, finishes, and more).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with ProContractor, Primavera, or similar estimating software is preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and bid documents with precision.
• Strong analytical, mathematical, and cost-control skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities, with a proven track record of working effectively in teams.
• Time-management skills to juggle multiple estimates and proposals simultaneously.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary: $75,000 – $90,000, plus performance incentives.
• Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision.
• 401(k) savings plan with matching contributions and profit sharing.
• Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave.
• Life, AD&D, disability, and supplemental insurance options.
• Wellness program, educational assistance, and career-based training programs.
