Build It. Manage It. See the Results.

Ready to take full ownership of heavy civil projects—from the first quantity takeoff through final completion?

I’m partnering with a highly respected heavy civil contractor that has served Western Oregon for more than four decades. With a strong reputation, established client relationships, and a steady pipeline of work, the company is looking for an experienced Project Manager / Estimator to strengthen its excavation division.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys both winning work and successfully delivering it. You’ll estimate a diverse range of civil projects, help develop the strategy behind each bid, and manage awarded projects through completion.

What You’ll Own

• Prepare competitive estimates for excavation and heavy civil construction projects
• Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for earthwork, grading, underground utilities, and site development
• Review plans, specifications, contracts, and bid documents
• Develop accurate labor, equipment, material, and subcontractor pricing
• Identify project risks, opportunities, and value-engineering solutions
• Manage awarded projects from preconstruction through final closeout
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, forecasts, and cost reports
• Monitor production, job costs, and overall project profitability
• Oversee RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, and project documentation
• Work closely with Superintendents and field crews to keep projects moving
• Build strong relationships with owners, engineers, subcontractors, and vendors
• Ensure every project is delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, and within budget

What You Bring

• 5+ years of Project Management and/or Estimating experience in heavy civil construction
• Strong experience with excavation, earthwork, grading, underground utilities, and civil site development
• Experience estimating and managing public and private civil projects
• Oregon or Pacific Northwest construction experience preferred
• Ability to read and interpret civil plans, specifications, and contract documents
• Strong understanding of equipment utilization, crew production, and heavy civil construction methods
• Excellent communication, leadership, organization, and problem-solving skills
• A driven, hands-on mindset with the ability to take ownership and deliver results

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Join an established contractor with more than 40 years of success in Western Oregon
• Take ownership of projects from bid through final completion
• Work with an experienced leadership team and respected field personnel
• Step into a stable position backed by a strong reputation and consistent project opportunities
• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Comprehensive benefits and retirement package
• Paid time off
• Long-term advancement and professional growth

If you’re ready to put your estimating and project-management experience to work with a proven Western Oregon contractor, this could be an outstanding next step in your career.
