Job Description - Heavy Civil Estimator (Prineville, OR)

Estimator - Power Infrastructure (Civil / Foundations / Underground)

Location: Prineville, OR (In-Person)
Company: R-2 Contractors
Compensation: $80,000 - $160,000 annually + benefits

Who We Are

We build the infrastructure that powers modern energy - R-2 Contractors works exclusively on power projects including substations, transmission, distribution, and generation. Our capabilities include grading, excavation, foundations, trenching, conduit, and grounding.

We’re a growing company. We have strong people and solid work, and we’re still improving how we do things.

Our Core Values are Simple: Pride. Grit. Own it!

Pride. - You care about the quality of your work.
Grit. - You keep digging, asking questions, and working through uncertainty.
Own It! - You take responsibility for your estimates and help solve problems before they grow.

We also value people who are Hungry, Humble, and Smart - people who get results, keep ego in check, and work well with others.

If you want a role with narrow responsibility and constant instruction, this will not be the right fit. If you like taking initiative, solving problems, and helping build something better, keep reading.

The Role

We are hiring an Estimator who can build accurate, thoughtful, and complete estimates that set jobs up for success before they ever break ground.

This role goes beyond putting numbers on a page. You will be expected to think critically, identify risk, stay detailed, and build clear, dependable estimates in a fast-moving environment.

You will work across the team to align scope, assumptions, and priorities, helping strengthen how we estimate, communicate, and handle a demanding bid workload.

Some bids will be straightforward, but many will not. Success in this role requires flexibility, sound judgment under pressure, and the ability to keep moving forward when timelines are tight.

You will do well here if you:

Stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to them
Ask questions early and often
Take ownership of outcomes
Work within our current structure and help improve it over time
Bring suggestions and solutions, not just criticism

What You’ll Do

Read and interpret plans, specs, and bid documents
Build complete estimates for civil, foundation, and underground scope on power infrastructure projects
Perform quantity takeoffs for grading, excavation, concrete, trenching, conduit, and grounding
Work with vendors and subcontractors to develop accurate pricing
Identify gaps, risks, and assumptions before bids are submitted
Help improve estimating tools, processes, and handoffs as the company grows

What We’re Looking For

Key Traits:

Ownership mindset - you stand behind your work
Curiosity - you want to understand how the work is built
Initiative - you do not wait to be told what to do
Adaptability - you are willing to adjust how you think
Strong communication - you work well across teams
Humility - confident but open to better ways
Problem - solving mindset - you help move things forward

Experience:

2+ years in construction, estimating, or similar (flexible for the right person)
Civil, utility, or power industry experience is a strong plus
Ability to read plans and think through construction sequencing

A degree is valued but not required. We care just as much about sound judgment, attention to detail, adaptability, and how you handle the work.

You do not need to come from a perfect system, and neither do we - we value people who can do strong work, adapt, and help us keep getting better.

What Sets You Apart

You have caught something others missed before it became a problem
You understand how work gets built, not just how it gets priced
You have improved a process instead of only working within one

Why Join Us

Work on meaningful infrastructure in the energy sector
Be part of a team that values initiative and accountability
Have direct impact on the work we win and execute
Be part of a company that’s growing and improving everyday

Compensation

$80,000 - $160,000 annually, based on demonstrated ability and fit for the role.

On the lower end, you may still be building your estimating experience.
On the higher end, you can manage a demanding bid load, think critically under tight deadlines, and consistently produce thorough, reliable work.
