Job description

Atlas Excavating bids and builds the work most contractors avoid; deep sanitary sewer, wet excavation, groundwater control, bypass pumping, and heavy underground utilities. We own our equipment and self-perform dewatering, so our estimates are grounded in real production-not wishful allowances.


The role
You'll own estimates from first review through bid day submission and post-bid scope review, pricing real means/methods (crews, production, trucking, shoring, bypass, dewatering approach) for public and private work across NW Indiana / Chicagoland.


What you'll do

  • Build complete bids: invite takeoff quotes pricing bid day submission post-bid recap
  • Perform quantity takeoffs (pipe/structures/earthwork/restoration/traffic control as applicable)
  • Price means/methods with field reality: production rates, crew plans, trucking, shoring/boxes, bypass pumping, dewatering strategy
  • Solicit/level quotes and ensure full scope coverage (no gaps, no double-counting)
  • Produce a clear bid recap: assumptions, inclusions/exclusions, risk items, alternates
  • Support award handoff to PM/ops to protect the estimate in execution

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years estimating experience; underground utilities / heavy civil (sanitary/storm/water) preferred
  • Comfortable with public bid environments (addenda, bid forms, unit prices, bonds)
  • Strong plan/spec reading and disciplined documentation of assumptions
  • Excel proficiency; clean, repeatable estimating habits

Tools

  • Bluebeam + Excel (required)
  • HCSS HeavyBid (strongly preferred)
  • AGTEK (nice to have)

What you get at Atlas

  • A contractor that self-performs and has the equipment to back up the plan
  • A seat with real ownership of bids and visibility with leadership
  • Health/Dental/Vision + Life/AD&D
  • Company-paid life insurance
  • Voluntary life insurance
  • 401(k) match up to 5%
  • Discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Tuition Reimbursement
  • PTO
  • Paid Holidays


Location: Fort Wayne, Indiana area (within -60 miles)
