The posting

About the Company

Our client is a growing contractor specializing in water and wastewater treatment facilities, with a strong focus on self-performed process piping and equipment work. The company takes on technically complex projects involving active treatment facilities and is expanding its capabilities in design-build delivery.

This is an opportunity to join a team where estimating is closely connected to project execution, operations, engineering, and business development.

About the Position

The Lead Process Estimator will take ownership of estimating complex water and wastewater treatment projects, with a particular focus on self-performed piping and equipment scopes.

This role requires a strong understanding of process systems and the ability to develop accurate pricing for projects where treatment facilities must remain operational during construction. Approximately 90% of current work is hard bid, while the company is actively expanding its design-build capabilities.

The successful candidate will have a direct influence on how the company prices and wins technically demanding projects while helping shape the development of its design-build practice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Estimate self-performed piping and equipment scopes for water and wastewater projects.
  • Develop bypass strategies and pricing for work involving active process systems.
  • Account for costs associated with maintaining plant operations during construction.
  • Prepare estimates for hard-bid projects.
  • Support design-build pursuits with early-stage pricing and constructability input.
  • Work closely with project managers, engineers, and operations teams to understand existing systems.
  • Review drawings, specifications, and site conditions to identify sequencing and operational challenges.
  • Develop pricing strategies for phased construction and live-system work.

Requirements

  • Strong estimating background in process piping and equipment, ideally within water/wastewater treatment.
  • Practical understanding of water and wastewater treatment plant operations.
  • Experience estimating bypass, phased construction, and work on active/live systems.
  • Ability to estimate both hard-bid and design-build projects.
  • Strong understanding of construction sequencing and constructability.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with field, engineering, project management, and ownership teams.
  • Must be located within a reasonable distance of East Central Pennsylvania and able to visit the office approximately once per month.

Benefits

  • Up to $150,000-$160,000 base salary, depending on experience.
  • Performance-based bonus opportunity.
  • Remote work flexibility.
  • Monthly office visit rather than daily office requirements.
  • Opportunity to play a key role in expanding the company's design-build capabilities.
  • Significant technical and leadership impact within a growing organization.
  • Direct involvement in complex water and wastewater treatment projects.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
