  • Heron Wolf
  • Nassau County, NY

Job Description

$215k–$245k | Lead Estimator - Heavy Civil | 4% 401k Match | Vehicle Allowance | 100% Employer-Paid Family Health Insurance | Long Island

  • 100% employer-paid family health insurance (no employee contribution)
  • 4% 401k match
  • Vehicle allowance
  • A leadership team that understands family commitments aren’t “exceptions”, they’re normal life
  • If you need to step away for something that matters, it’s understood. No guilt. No side-eye.

This role exists because the company has done something most contractors say they do and very few actually follow through on:

They’ve kept their people because people are paid properly , recognized , and given real runway .

People from large firms move here, we see a consistent pattern. Construction folks at big-name contractors often leave not because the work isn’t interesting, but because:

  • Promotions are slow
  • Responsibility increases faster than compensation
  • Recognition is vague at best
  • Succession is talked about but never defined

This firm is different in one very specific way: when people perform, they move .

That’s why estimators from much larger organizations regularly choose to step into this team of ~45 rather than wait another 5–10 years for a title change elsewhere.

This is a Long Island–based heavy civil contractor with a serious reputation in the New York market, particularly across MTA and DEP work , delivering projects up to $200M–$250M .

They’re not chasing volume: They’re selective, disciplined, and very good at what they bid.

The estimating function is respected internally, not treated as a back-office cost center.

This is a Lead Estimator position with real influence. You’ll be hands-on with major pursuits, working in HCSS HeavyBid , helping shape strategy, pricing, and risk, not just compiling numbers.

There is a clear succession path into a Chief Estimator role when the current Chief retires if that’s what you want . And if it’s not? Staying as a highly paid, respected Lead Estimator is fully acceptable here. No forced ladder climbing. No pressure titles. That flexibility matters more than most firms realize.

Who this is really for:

  • Estimators with local heavy civil GC experience
  • Strong exposure to MTA and or DEP work
  • Comfortable owning bids end to end
  • Someone who values recognition, stability, and long-term respect over constant chaos

If you’re technically strong but tired of being invisible, this role will feel refreshingly different.
