Senior Estimator

ASLPM, Austin, TX, United States


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.
