Estimator - Civil Work
Job Title: Estimator - Civil Earthwork
Type: Full-Time, Remote (LATAM)
Working Hours: Mondays - Fridays, 8:00am - 5:00pm EST
Location: LATAM (Remote)
Compensation: USD $1,500 - $2,200/month (depending on seniority)
About the Company
Our client is a heavy civil and site development company operating in the Virgin Islands with significant project portfolio including demolition, site earthworks, and utilities work. The company manages multi-million dollar federal contracts and equipment, and is experiencing rapid growth in a $32 billion project market.
Job Description
We are seeking a detail-oriented Estimator with 2-4 years of experience to join our team as a dedicated, full-time estimator working within our client's existing systems and workflows. The ideal candidate will support the full bid lifecycle — from comprehensive plan review and specification analysis through bid assembly and coordination with the existing estimating team. This is a critical role where attention to detail directly impacts profitability and risk mitigation on complex, high-value projects.
Responsibilities
Conduct thorough review and "stress testing" of complex bid packages (including 1000+ page specifications) to identify missing scope, requirements, and potential financial risks before bid submission.
Perform quantity takeoffs and cost estimation using the client's existing software systems and Excel-based workflows.
Extract and analyze critical project requirements from extensive specification documents, schedules, and addendums to ensure bid compliance and feasibility.
Collaborate with the primary estimator and ownership team on bid assembly, material cost research, and final bid preparation.
Support coordination between estimating workflows and the client's existing third-party estimator to ensure consistency and catch discrepancies.
Manage material cost research and vendor pricing coordination as needed for bid packages.
Demonstrate familiarity with federal contracting requirements, permitting processes, and project logistics specific to Virgin Islands operations.
Project Types
Demolition and site earthworks packages
Water, sewer, and utilities installations
Site development and grading
Heavy equipment mobilization and coordination
Federal infrastructure projects
Requirements
3-5 years of estimating experience in heavy civil work, site development, or demolition with demonstrated experience on mid-to-large-scale projects ($500K - $5M+ scope).
Strong ability to read, interpret, and analyze detailed civil engineering plans, specifications, and complex bid documents.
Experience identifying scope gaps, compliance issues, and feasibility concerns in bid packages.
Proficiency with Excel and familiarity with takeoff software (PlanSwift or similar).
Neutral English accent and clear verbal communication skills — ability to communicate technical details clearly with U.S.-based team members is essential.
Prior experience working remotely for U.S.-based contractors is strongly preferred.
Detail-oriented mindset with ability to manage complex, multi-faceted bid packages.
