About the Company

Our client is a specialized underground utilities contractor based in Port St. Lucie, Florida, serving national home builders and general contractors across the Southeast. They specialize in underground utilities for power and communications infrastructure, with planned expansion into water, sewer, and storm drain sectors.

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Underground Utilities Estimator to join our team as a dedicated, full-time estimator working within our client's existing systems and workflows. This is a critical, frontline role where you will own the complete bid lifecycle and serve as a direct point of contact with major national home builders and general contractors. Your accuracy, responsiveness, and relationship-building skills directly impact bid profitability. You will work closely with ownership and play a key role in the company's ability to expand market share and pursue new work.

Responsibilities

  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs from civil and power utility drawings using Bluebeam and PlanSwift, with expertise in reading and interpreting utility-specific plan sets.

  • Conduct thorough plan reviews and specification analysis to identify missing information, clarifications, and scope questions before bid submission.

  • Manage the complete bid solicitation and submission process — from plan receipt through final bid delivery, including supplier and subcontractor pricing coordination.

  • Serve as the primary estimator contact for clients, engaging directly with home builders and general contractors to clarify scope, answer technical questions, and support the sales process.

  • Track active bid invitations, manage the estimating pipeline, and coordinate with internal teams on project requirements and timelines.

  • Support post-award workflows including subcontractor buyouts, RFIs, submittals packages, and ongoing coordination with subcontractors and suppliers on scope and scheduling.

Must-have Qualifications

  • 3+ years of estimating experience in underground utilities, civil construction, or closely related trades, with demonstrated experience on large-scale projects ($500K+) for U.S.-based clients.

  • Proficiency with Bluebeam and PlanSwift software; experience with civil and utility drawing interpretation is essential.

  • Strong ability to read and interpret civil drawings, power utility drawings, specifications, and plan schedules with a high degree of accuracy.

  • End-to-end bid process experience — from takeoff and pricing coordination through formal submission, plus familiarity with post-award workflows (buyouts, RFIs, submittals, scope coordination).

  • Proven experience engaging directly with clients during the estimating and bidding process; comfort with frontline customer contact and sales-oriented interactions.

  • Fluent English communication skills (written and verbal); prior experience working remotely for U.S.-based contractors is strongly preferred.

  • Familiarity with underground utilities, power, and communications infrastructure is highly valued.
