Established Sacramento-area contractor is seeking an experienced Industrial Estimator to support a growing backlog of industrial, utility, infrastructure, and heavy construction projects. This is an opportunity to join a well-respected team that values practical experience, teamwork, and a hands-on approach to estimating.

• Prepare bid packages and proposals.
• Manage RFIs, RFQs, subcontractor communications, and bid follow-up activities.
• Work closely with project managers, operations teams, vendors, subcontractors, and company leadership.
• Attend pre-bid meetings, site walks, and project review meetings as needed.
• Identify project risks, opportunities, and cost-saving solutions during the estimating process.
