Sr Estimator - Site Development & Underground Utilities

Who We Are:

Since 1984, Brock Built Homes has been a premier Atlanta-based developer for more than 40 years. Brock-Civil provides commercial and residential site development services—laying the groundwork for successful construction projects across our communities. We value ownership, urgency, accountability, and people who take pride in doing the job right.

At Brock-Civil, we don’t just build projects—we build people. Our team operates with a strong sense of ownership, urgency, and pride in delivering high-quality work while investing in the development of future leaders.

Position Summary:

This is a heavy civil/site development estimating position.

We are specifically seeking an estimator with hands-on experience estimating earthwork, grading and underground utility construction.

If your estimating background is primarily in vertical commercial construction, residential homebuilding, interiors, roofing, MEP, or general building construction, this position is likely not the right fit.

About the Role

Brock-Civil is seeking an experienced Senior Estimator to prepare and manage estimates for heavy civil and site development projects throughout the Metro Atlanta area.

This role requires strong knowledge of earthwork, grading, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water systems, roadway/site construction, trucking, equipment, labor production and subcontracted scopes.

You will independently manage estimates from initial plan review and quantity takeoff through pricing, bid strategy, final submission and turnover to Operations.

What You'll Do

• Prepare conceptual, budgetary and hard-bid estimates for site development and heavy civil projects
• Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for earthwork/grading, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water, erosion control, roadway and related sitework
• Develop costs for labor, equipment, materials, trucking, production and subcontracted work
• Review civil plans, specifications, geotechnical reports and bid documents to identify scope, constructability issues and project risks
• Develop and validate crew compositions, equipment needs and production rates
• Solicit and level subcontractor and supplier proposals and identify scope gaps and exclusions
• Participate in site visits, pre-bid meetings, estimate reviews and bid strategy
• Work with Operations during project turnover and compare estimated costs and production assumptions against actual project performance

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 5+ years of construction estimating experience with significant heavy civil, site development and/or underground utility experience
• Demonstrated experience estimating earthwork and grading
• Demonstrated experience estimating underground utilities such as storm drainage, sanitary sewer and water
• Ability to independently complete quantity takeoffs and build detailed estimates from civil plans
• Working knowledge of labor and equipment production rates, trucking, materials and subcontracted scopes
• Ability to read and interpret civil plans, specifications and geotechnical information
• Experience managing estimates from initial review through final bid

Preferred:

• Experience with HCSS HeavyBid, Agtek, Bluebeam and/or Propeller
• Experience with Primavera
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or a related field; substantial directly related experience may substitute for a degree

What We Offer

Competitive compensation based on experience, comprehensive health insurance, bonus program, 401(k) with company match, paid time off and holidays, parental leave, tuition assistance and cell phone allowance.

Location: Metro Atlanta
Position: Full-Time, Exempt

Candidates must successfully complete the Company's post-offer pre-employment requirements.
