Senior Estimator - Terminal & Concourse Vertical Projects
Location: Austin, Texas (Onsite)
Industry: Aviation / Construction
Area of Specialty: Estimator / Concourse and Terminal Projects / Design-Build / MEP & Systems Integration / Civil-Infrastructure
We are seeking a high-energy, technically elite Senior Estimator to join the Journey with AUS team. This isn't a "behind-the-scenes" role—you will be at the heart of Austin’s most significant infrastructure expansion in decades. You will own the numbers for a diverse portfolio that includes the new 20-gate Concourse B, a massive Arrivals/Departures Hall, and critical airfield taxiway reconstructions.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Full-Lifecycle Estimating: Develop detailed conceptual, schematic, and construction-document estimates for vertical (concourse/terminal) and horizontal (runways/taxiways) projects.
- MEP & Systems Integration: Lead the cost-modeling for complex MEP overhauls, including the new Central Utility Plant (CUP) and advanced Baggage Handling Systems (BHS).
- Pre-Construction Leadership: Play a key role in Progressive Design-Build and CMAR negotiations, ensuring cost-certainty as designs evolve from $10\%$ to $100\%$.
- Market Analysis: Monitor regional labor trends and material escalation in the booming Central Texas market to build defensible, risk-adjusted bids.
- Mentor & Review: Provide quality control and guidance for junior estimators, ensuring "quantity take-offs" are precise and inclusive of FAA-mandated safety requirements.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- Experience: 10-15 years in heavy civil or commercial construction estimating. Aviation experience is highly preferred but large-scale civil-infrastructure projects is a must.
- The Toolkit: Expert proficiency in Sage (Timberline), MC2, or Destini, plus a mastery of Bluebeam and Excel.
- BIM Fluency: Ability to perform 5D take-offs directly from Revit models.
- Regulatory Savvy: Familiarity with FAA Advisory Circulars and the logistics of working in active sterile environments (airport security badging, phasing, and night-work premiums).
Why Join Us? Austin is the fastest-growing city in America, and our airport is the heartbeat of that growth. This is your chance to lead a massive program while enjoying the incredible culture of the Silicon Hills.
