Job description

About KCI Construction

At KCI Construction, we’re not just building roads and bridges — we’re building futures. As a self-performing, 100% employee-owned company with more than a century of experience, we take pride in doing things the right way — with integrity, teamwork, and craftsmanship. Our hands-on approach allows us to control quality, drive innovation, and deliver results that stand the test of time. You’ll join a collaborative, people-focused environment where hard work is recognized, voices are heard, and growth is encouraged.


Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Competitive Benefits: Competitive Pay, ESOP participation, 401(k), bonuses and 100% paid health coverage.
  • Work-Life Balance: Unlimited PTO and flexibility that supports your well-being.
  • Great Team: Work alongside talented builders, problem-solvers, and employees who take pride in their craft.
  • Community Impact: Join a company that actively gives back through volunteerism and partnerships.
  • Safety First: We live by our safety standards-every day on every site. 


The Opportunity

As a Civil/DOT Estimator, you’ll help build the infrastructure that keeps communities connected. In this role, you’ll translate plans into execution by developing production-driven estimates that directly impact how projects are built, staffed, and delivered.

What You’ll Do

  • Analyze plans, specifications, and bid documents to define scope, risk, and execution strategy.
  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and develop production-based cost estimates for self-performed work (earthwork, utilities, structures, concrete, and water/wastewater systems).
  • Build accurate, competitive bids aligned with field operations and project sequencing.
  • Solicit and evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotes.
  • Collaborate with operations to validate means, methods, crew sizes, and production rates.
  • Attend pre-bid meetings, site visits, and support post-award buyout and handoff to operations.
  • Support DBE/MBE/WBE participation and ensure compliance with DOT, municipal, and water/wastewater authority requirements.
  • Continuously improve estimating practices using tools such as HCSS HeavyBid, historical cost data, and production tracking.

Who You Are

  • Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to accuracy and accountability.
  • Thinks like a builder—understands how work gets done in the field across civil and wastewater environments.
  • Organized and self-driven, able to manage multiple bids and deadlines.
  • Strong communicator who builds trust with field teams, partners, and leadership.
  • Analytical and production-focused—turns data into actionable, competitive estimates.
  • Adaptable and steady under pressure in a fast-paced bid environment.
  • Lives out KCI’s GRiT values—Growth, Resilience, Integrity, and Teamwork.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field (preferred).
  • 3+ years of estimating experience in heavy civil, highway, or water/wastewater construction.
  • Proven experience estimating self-performed work in heavy civil.
  • Strong familiarity with DOT, municipal, and water/wastewater authority standards preferred.
  • Proficiency in HCSS HeavyBid or similar estimating software.
  • Working knowledge of production rates, crew composition, and equipment utilization.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills with a team-first mindset.
