Job Description

Project Manager / Estimator – Heavy Civil Construction

Rome, NY | Full-Time | On-site | Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

95,000–100,000 per year + generous benefits

About the Company

Our client is a booming heavy civil construction company in Rome, NY. They provide specialty construction services to government and commercial entities nationwide. They are running about 10 projects at a time, both state and private. There is far more work available than there are construction companies to build it, so this is a chance to join a team with real momentum and long-term job security. They work with union labor.

The Role

This is a hybrid role: you will estimate and bid new work, then carry the jobs you win through to closeout. If you want to see a project from the first takeoff to the final pay application, this is the position.

What You’ll Do

Estimating

• Review bid documents, plans, specs, and addenda; attend pre-bid meetings and site visits
• Perform quantity takeoffs for earthwork, drainage, utilities, and paving
• Build estimates in Bid2Win, including labor, equipment, materials, and production rates
• Solicit and compare subcontractor and supplier quotes
• Prepare and submit bids for state and private work, and take part in bid reviews
• Hand off awarded jobs: set up budgets, buy out subcontracts, and issue purchase orders

Project Management

• Manage several active projects from award through closeout, covering schedule, budget, and scope
• Track job costs and forecasts in Vista
• Prepare submittals, RFIs, change orders, and monthly pay applications
• Coordinate crews, equipment, and materials with superintendents and foremen
• Manage subcontractors and suppliers, including union labor requirements
• Serve as the main contact for owners, engineers, and inspectors, and run progress meetings
• Travel to in-state job sites as needed (occasional overnight stays, not often)

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in estimating AND project management
• MUST HAVE civil / heavy highway construction
• Degree or credentials preferred, but proven “homegrown” experience is equally welcome
• Experience with Bid2Win and Vista, or similar estimating and project cost software is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

• 95,000–100,000 per year
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Paid time off
• Paid sick time
• Paid holidays
• Car allowance
• Generous benefits package
