  • Monitor project performance, track progress, and manage change orders
  • Identify and mitigate risk factors affecting scope, cost, or timelines
  • Ensure quality standards, contract compliance, and regulatory requirements are met
  • Maintain accurate reporting for internal leadership and client stakeholders

 

A Day in the Life of an Estimator/Project Manager:

  • Start the day reviewing bid opportunities or current project status updates
  • Attend pre-bid walkthroughs or project site visits as needed
  • Perform quantity takeoffs and evaluate vendor/subcontractor quotes
  • Lead client calls or internal progress meetings
  • Manage submittals, RFIs, and coordination with project engineers
  • Monitor budget and prepare forecast updates
  • Wrap up by updating bid files or project reports

 

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, Construction Management, or related field (preferred)
  • Minimum 4 years of experience in heavy civil construction project management and/or estimating
  • Experience delivering paving and infrastructure projects
