Find & Apply For Estimator Jobs in Stuart, Florida

Brothers' Construction, Inc. | Stuart, Florida Brothers' Construction, Inc. (BCI) is a growing, family-owned heavy civil and marine contractor based in Stuart, Florida. We build complex waterfront projects throughout Southeast Florida, including complete marina developments, seawalls, docks, piers, bridges, piling systems, dredging, shoreline protection, and associated upland improvements. At BCI, project managers are estimators, and estimators are project managers. We believe a true project leader must understand both how to price the work and how to build it. The person developing an estimate needs to understand field execution, and the person managing a project needs to understand the quantities, production rates, labor, equipment, and assumptions behind its budget. That foundation is essential to succeeding here and advancing within our company. We are seeking an experienced Project Manager and Estimator with a strong commitment to heavy civil and marine construction and the ability to contribute to BCI's continued growth. This position carries responsibility for the full project lifecycle, from estimating and preconstruction through field execution and financial closeout, with opportunities for advancement as we expand our portfolio of complex waterfront projects. The Opportunity BCI has delivered more than $300 million in hard-bid and design-build marina work in recent years. We self-perform our core marine scopes and manage the trades needed to deliver complete projects for private owners, developers, public agencies, and major marina operators. Our growth creates opportunities for capable people to take on larger projects, broader responsibility, and future leadership roles. You will work directly with executive leadership, experienced superintendents, engineers, owners, and subcontractors. We expect you to understand how the work will be built, what it should cost, and what decisions are needed to deliver it safely and profitably. You will have meaningful responsibility, direct access to decision-makers, and the chance to see your estimates become completed projects. ResponsibilitiesProject Leadership and Field Execution
