Estimator

Aviation Estimator - Terminal & Concourse Vertical Projects Location: Austin, Texas (Onsite)

Industry: Aviation / Construction

Area of Specialty: Estimator / Civil Airside / Structural Concourse / MEP Systems Integration

We are seeking a high-energy, technically elite Mid-Senior Estimator to join the Journey with AUS team. This isn't a "behind-the-scenes" role—you will be at the heart of Austin’s most significant infrastructure expansion in decades. You will own the numbers for a diverse portfolio that includes the new 20-gate Concourse B, a massive Arrivals/Departures Hall, and critical airfield taxiway reconstructions.

What You'll Do

• Full-Lifecycle Estimating: Develop detailed conceptual, schematic, and construction-document estimates for vertical (concourse/terminal) and horizontal (runways/taxiways) projects.
• MEP & Systems Integration: Lead the cost-modeling for complex MEP overhauls, including the new Central Utility Plant (CUP) and advanced Baggage Handling Systems (BHS).
• Pre-Construction Leadership: Play a key role in Progressive Design-Build and CMAR negotiations, ensuring cost-certainty as designs evolve from $10%$ to $100%$.
• Market Analysis: Monitor regional labor trends and material escalation in the booming Central Texas market to build defensible, risk-adjusted bids.
• Mentor & Review: Provide quality control and guidance for junior estimators, ensuring "quantity take-offs" are precise and inclusive of FAA-mandated safety requirements.

What You'll Bring

• Experience: 7–10 years in heavy civil or commercial construction estimating. Aviation experience is highly preferred but large-scale "mega-project" experience (stadiums, hospitals, or transit) is a must.
• The Toolkit: Expert proficiency in Sage (Timberline), MC2, or Destini, plus a mastery of Bluebeam and Excel.
• BIM Fluency: Ability to perform 5D take-offs directly from Revit models.
• Regulatory Savvy: Familiarity with FAA Advisory Circulars and the logistics of working in "active" sterile environments (airport security badging, phasing, and night-work premiums).
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or Architecture. A CCP (Certified Cost Professional) or CPE certification will move you to the top of the list.

Why Join Us? Austin is the fastest-growing city in America, and our airport is the heartbeat of that growth. This is your chance to lead a massive program while enjoying the incredible culture of the Silicon Hills.
