Solicit and evaluate pricing from lime suppliers, subcontractors, and trucking providers
Develop accurate production rates and cost models specific to lime stabilization operations
Attend pre-bid meetings, site walks, and manage RFIs as needed
Support project handoff, change orders, and scope clarifications post-award

Required Experience

5+ years of estimating experience in civil construction, site development, or earthwork
Direct experience estimating lime soil stabilization or chemical soil modification projects
Working knowledge of quicklime (CaO) and hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂) applications
Ability to interpret geotechnical reports related to soil stabilization
Experience with estimating software such as HCSS HeavyBid, Insight, AGTEK, B2W, or similar
Proficiency with Excel and Bluebeam or similar takeoff tools
