We are seeking a Civil Estimator with experience pricing heavy civil construction projects including sewer and watermain, underground utilities, road construction, earthworks, deep excavation, and municipal infrastructure assignments.

• Prepare tender summaries, scopes, and proposal documentation
  
• Support change pricing, budgeting, and cost analysis activities
  
• Maintain relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and clients
  
• Participate in pre-bid meetings, site visits, and tender reviews
  
• Assist with post-bid handovers to project management teams
