Job description

I’m working with an established and growing excavation and sitework contractor in the Stamford area that is looking to add a Project Engineer / Estimator to its team.


This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being involved in both the technical and commercial side of construction, supporting projects from the initial estimate through to execution.


What you'll be doing:

  • Preparing quantity takeoffs and assisting with project estimates
  • Reviewing drawings, specifications and bid documents
  • Preparing and managing submittals
  • Supporting project teams with documentation, procurement and coordination
  • Working closely with Project Managers, Superintendents and senior leadership
  • Assisting with pricing, bid packages and subcontractor/vendor coordination
  • Getting involved in a variety of excavation, sitework and civil construction projects


What we're looking for:

  • Experience as a Project Engineer, Estimator or similar construction role
  • Strong experience with quantity takeoffs and construction estimating
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications
  • Earthwork, excavation, sitework or heavy civil experience is highly desirable, but not essential
  • Candidates from other construction backgrounds with strong estimating experience will also be considered
  • Organized, detail-oriented and comfortable working in a fast-paced contractor environment


This role will be primarily office-based in Stamford, CT, offering the opportunity to join a growing contractor and develop across both project engineering and estimating.
