Estimator

Description

COMMERCIAL CIVIL CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR – 4D BIM

Location: Tucson, Arizona
Employment Type: Full-Time
Department: Preconstruction / Estimating
Industry: Commercial Civil Construction

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking an experienced Commercial Civil Construction Estimator with 4D BIM experience to join our preconstruction team.

The Estimator will be responsible for developing accurate, competitive, and detailed estimates for commercial civil construction projects from conceptual design through final bid. The position will combine traditional civil estimating expertise with 3D modeling, 4D construction sequencing, scheduling, and BIM/VDC technology to improve cost accuracy, constructability, and project planning.

The ideal candidate understands commercial site construction and can translate drawings and models into quantities, costs, schedules, construction sequences, and 4D visualizations.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Prepare      conceptual, preliminary, detailed, and final estimates for commercial      civil construction projects.
• Perform      detailed quantity takeoffs from drawings, specifications, BIM models, and      digital plans.
• Estimate      labor, materials, equipment, subcontractor costs, general conditions, and      other project costs.
• Review      plans, specifications, addenda, geotechnical reports, and contract      documents.
• Develop      detailed bid scopes and solicit competitive subcontractor and supplier      pricing.
• Analyze      subcontractor and supplier proposals and prepare bid comparisons.
• Develop      accurate cost breakdowns, bid summaries, and estimating assumptions.
• Identify      scope gaps, exclusions, risks, and opportunities during the estimating      process.
• Perform      value engineering and evaluate alternative construction methods.
• Review      project schedules and coordinate estimating assumptions with planned      construction activities.
• Participate      in pre-bid meetings, site walks, client meetings, and estimate reviews.
• Coordinate      with project managers, superintendents, engineers, architects, BIM/VDC      teams, subcontractors, and owners.
• Assist      with project turnover from estimating/preconstruction to operations.

4D BIM / CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY RESPONSIBILITIES

The successful candidate will have practical experience using 4D BIM or model-based construction sequencing.

Responsibilities may include:

• Develop      or review 4D construction models by linking 3D models to project      schedules.
• Integrate      quantities, construction activities, and schedule information into 4D      workflows.
• Use 4D      visualization to evaluate construction sequencing and site logistics.
• Identify      constructability conflicts and potential sequencing issues before      construction.
• Evaluate      equipment movement, material flow, access, phasing, and temporary      conditions.
• Assist      project teams in communicating complex construction sequences through 4D      visualization.
• Support      schedule development and coordination with project controls.
• Collaborate      with BIM/VDC personnel to improve the connection between estimating,      scheduling, and construction operations.

Preferred Technology Experience

Experience with the following is highly desirable:

• InEight      Estimate
• Synchro      4D
• Microsoft      Project
• Autodesk      Civil 3D
• Revit      or other BIM platforms
• Bluebeam
• HCSS
• B2W
• Microsoft      Excel
• Other      construction estimating and project management software

COMMERCIAL CIVIL PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Experience estimating commercial civil projects such as:

• Commercial      site development
• Retail      and shopping centers
• Office      and mixed-use developments
• Industrial      and manufacturing facilities
• Warehouses      and distribution centers
• Hospitals      and institutional facilities
• Hotels      and hospitality developments
• Schools      and educational facilities
• Parking      lots and parking structures
• Roads      and access improvements
• Underground      utilities
• Water      and sewer systems
• Storm      drainage
• Earthwork      and grading
• Concrete      and site improvements
• Public/private      infrastructure supporting commercial developments

IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate is more than a traditional estimator. We are looking for someone who understands how cost, schedule, quantities, constructability, and construction sequencing work together.

You should be comfortable taking a commercial civil project from:

Plans & Specifications ? 3D Model ? Quantity Takeoff ? Estimate ? Schedule ? 4D Construction Sequence ? Project Turnover

Experience working with BIM/VDC teams and using technology to improve estimating accuracy and project planning is a significant advantage.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Competitive      salary based on experience and qualifications.
• Benefits      package.
• Paid      time off and holidays.
• Professional      development opportunities.
• Opportunity      to work on significant commercial civil construction projects.
• Opportunity      to help develop and expand 4D BIM and technology-driven      preconstruction practices.

TO APPLY

Please submit a resume highlighting your commercial civil estimating experience.

Candidates should also provide a brief summary of:

• Civil      estimating experience.
• Types      and size of commercial projects estimated.
• 4D BIM      experience.
• BIM/VDC      software used.
• Scheduling      software experience.
• Experience      integrating 3D models with construction schedules.
• Experience      with InEight Estimate.
• Experience      with commercial site development and infrastructure.
