Job Summary:

The Senior DOT Estimator is responsible for leading the preparation of accurate, competitive, and strategic cost estimates for complex heavy civil construction projects, particularly for the Department of Transportation on highway, interstate, and/or bridge projects. This role plays a critical leadership function in preconstruction, driving bid strategy, risk analysis, and pricing decisions that directly impact project success and company profitability.

The Senior DOT Estimator partners with operations, project management, and executive leadership to develop winning proposals while ensuring alignment with AIS Infrastructure's safety standards, operational capabilities, and financial objectives.

Collaborate closely with Operations, Superintendents, and Project Managers to validate means, methods, and production assumptions.
Present estimates and recommendations to executive leadership for bid approval.
Support negotiations, value engineering efforts, and contract development.
Mentor and provide guidance to junior estimators and support staff.

Advanced knowledge of heavy civil construction methods, means, and sequencing.
Ability to understand and meet expectations of the Department of Transportation for their infrastructure projects.
Strong financial and business acumen with the ability to evaluate project profitability and risk.
Expertise in cost estimating software and tools (e.g., HCSS HeavyBid, Vista, Excel-based models).
Ability to lead bid reviews and communicate effectively with executive leadership.
Strong negotiation and subcontractor management skills.
High attention to detail with the ability to manage complex, multi-phase estimates.
Strong leadership skills with the ability to mentor and develop others.
Excellent communication skills (written and verbal).
Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Strong understanding of contract types, procurement methods, and bid structures.
Ability to interpret and analyze risk in contract language and project requirements.
Experience with cost databases and benchmarking tools.
Strong problem-solving and decision-making capability under tight deadlines
