  • Manage multiple bids simultaneously-organize documents, track deadlines, attend pre-bid meetings, pre-qualification sessions, bid openings, and post-bid follow-ups.
  • Transition awarded projects smoothly to the field team: collaborate with superintendents and foremen to control costs, maintain scope, and protect/produce targeted margins.
  • Monitor job performance through unit-based cost tracking and ensure projects deliver expected profitability.


What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent hands-on experience in heavy civil construction and excavation (required).
  • Strong background in reading and interpreting civil plans, specifications, and engineering details.
  • Working knowledge ofMunicipal and MDOT bidding processes, requirements, and expectations.
  • Proficiency in producing and analyzing unit-based job cost reports and line-item budgets.
  • Experience developing project schedules in Microsoft Project or Primavera P6.
  • Advanced skills in estimating/takeoff software: HCSS HeavyBid, AutoCAD/Civil 3D, Carlson Takeoff, AGTEK, or similar.
  • Solid command of Microsoft Office Suite (especially Excel, Word, and Outlook).
  • Bonus: Accounting or business management experience.
  • High integrity, strong work ethic, excellent communication, and proven problem-solving ability.


What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications.
  • Hybrid position option available (office-based in Midland with flexibility for remote work on bidding/estimating tasks, depending on role needs and candidate setup).
  • Comprehensive benefits package: BCBSM health insurance, and retirement package.
  • Vehicle allowance or mileage reimbursement for business use.
  • Performance-based year-end bonuses tied to project net revenue.
  • Opportunity to grow with one of Michigan's most dynamic contractors.


Our main office is in Midland, Michigan.


If you're a driven professional who thrives in a family-oriented, high-performance environment and wants to help shape the future of a growing company serving projects statewide (with emphasis on Southeast Michigan), we'd love to hear from you.
