Senior Estimator - Heavy Civil Construction/Bridge & Highway
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe company overview?), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Pay? Not mentioned specific pay; only "Competitive pay with ongoing performance review and merit increase". That's a statement about pay but not a specific number. The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive pay with ongoing performance review and merit increase" under Financial Wellbeing. That is a statement about pay, albeit generic. Should we include a Pay section? The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about pay, albeit generic. It might be okay to include a Pay section with that content. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Pay into Benefits? But they have separate headings list: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes benefits details (financial wellbeing, health & wellness, family & lifestyle). It also includes "Competitive pay with ongoing performance review and merit increase". That could go under Benefits or Pay. Since they have a Benefits section already, we could put pay details inside Benefits as a bullet. But they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state pay, so we could create a Pay section with that line. However we also have Benefits section with many items. Could we combine? The rule says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having both Pay and Benefits may be thin? But Benefits is substantive. Pay is just one line; maybe we could incorporate into Benefits to avoid thin Pay section. However they explicitly list Pay as a possible heading; but they say only include if posting actually states them. It does state competitive pay, so we could include Pay section with that line. But then Benefits section would still be present. That would be two sections; still okay.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So no Schedule section.
We also need to include "About the role" maybe as company overview? The posting includes "Company Overview". That could be under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the company". The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the company". So we could put company overview under About the role. Or we could treat it as part of the role description. Probably best to put company overview under About the role.
Responsibilities: we have a big list.
Qualifications: we have Minimum 10 years experience, B.S. in Engineering or Construction Management degree, plus knowledge/skills/abilities list.
Skills: we have Software Skills list (30-Hour OSHA training, Microsoft Office, etc.) plus maybe other skills like knowledge of bridge and roadway construction, etc. But those are already in qualifications. Could create Skills section for software skills and maybe other technical skills.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
Company Overview paragraph: "Founded in 1987, MasTec Civil (formerly known as Condotte America), a MasTec Company, is a heavy highway contractor specializing in the construction of complex transportation projects that include roadway, bridges, interchanges, mass transit, and tolling facilities. In short, we build the roads and bridges connecting our families, communities, and nation. In doing so, client satisfaction is of primary importance to us, and our record reflects our emphasis on understanding our client needs in order to exceed their expectations. MasTec Civil is part of the MasTec Clean Energy & Infrastructure (CE&I) business segment. The CE&I segment generates over $4.5 billion in annual revenue, providing construction services across our renewables, industrial, infrastructure, and general building operating groups. Sustainability and safety are foundational to our culture and influence everything we do. MasTec, a minority-owned Fortune 500 company, has shaped the construction industry for more than 90 years. With over 35,000 employees and 400 offices nationwide, we provide flexibility and career growth in dynamic work environments. Join one of the largest construction firms in the country (Engineering News-Record [ENR]: #1 in Power, #16 Top 50 Domestic Heavy Contractors, #13 Transportation Contractor)."
Responsibilities bullet list: Let's parse the responsibilities paragraph:
"Understand bid items, basis of estimate, skills to identify errors and discrepancies in plans, and specifications, and solutions. Wide understandings reading plans, specifications, request for proposal, request for information, addendums, technical special provisions, etc. Build green sheet estimate, breakdown activity structure, construction schedule, and risk matrix analysis. Create job budget for awarded contracts. Understand bid strategy, cost savings initiative, and management skills. Perform accurate, and within the time frame quantity takeoffs. Capable to individually estimate an entire job. Study and review all estimating reports: equipment total hrs., labor total hrs., key indicators, equipment balance analysis, etc. Constantly review updated DOT Standards and Specifications. Full review of bid submittal package, and lead estimating discussion with company executives. Obtain clarifications on plans and specifications from owner or engineer of records. Coordinate and invite suppliers and subcontractors to quote different scope of work. Analyzes suppliers and subcontractor pricing input when required. Build and strength subcontractor and supplier relationship. Complete understanding of unit cost analysis. Assists to pre-bid meeting and bid submittals. Keep updated information regarding commodity trade prices. Keep looking construction technologies and techniques. Maintain continue education in construction: assist to engineering convention, forum, etc. Continue communication with field personnel (project engineer, superintendent, foreman, fleet manager, etc.) to track and adjust as necessary unit costs."
We need to turn each sentence into list items? Probably each bullet is a duty. We'll create
- for each distinct duty.
Qualifications: "Minimum 10 years of experience in Heavy Civil.B.S. in Engineering or Construction Management degree." Actually there is a missing space: "Minimum 10 years of experience in Heavy Civil.B.S. in Engineering or Construction Management degree." We'll treat as two items: Minimum 10 years of experience in Heavy Civil; B.S. in Engineering or Construction Management degree.
Then "Knowledge/Skills/Abilities" list: "Possess high work values, integrity, and ethical standards.Possess great focus to meet and exceed company requirements and expectations.Possess good organization skills and strong verbal and written communication skills.Must have knowledge in bridge and roadway construction.Savvy in TN soil (rock/clay), foundations, concrete structures, temporary structural systems, underground and utility work, earthwork, signalization, roadway lighting and signing, intelligent transportation system, safety standards, etc.Knowledgeable in design-build and design-bid-build contracts with DOT and Turnpike Enterprises.Teaching, and mentoring skills."
We need to split into list items.
Software Skills: "30-Hour OSHA trainingMicrosoft Office: Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPointScheduling software, P6 PrimaveraHeavy Bid from HCSS Bluebeam by REVUAutoCAD- Civil 3DMicroStationAGTEK"
We need to parse: "30-Hour OSHA training", "Microsoft Office: Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint", "Scheduling software, P6 Primavera", "Heavy Bid from HCSS", "Bluebeam by REVU", "AutoCAD- Civil 3D", "MicroStation", "AGTEK". Might need to clean.
Benefits: Under "What's In It For You" we have sections:
Financial Wellbeing:
- Competitive pay with ongoing performance review and merit increase
- 401(k) with company match & Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
- Flexible spending account (Healthcare & Dependent care)
Health & Wellness:
- Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (plan choice) - coverage for spouse, domestic partner, and children
- Diabetes Management, Telehealth Coverage, Prescription Drug Plan, Pet Insurance
Family & Lifestyle:
- Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, Bereavement Leave
- Military Leave, including Differential Pay and Benefits Continuation
- Employee Assistance Program
- Planning for the Unexpected: Short and long-term disability, life insurance, and accidental death & dismemberment
- Voluntary life insurance, accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity coverage
- Emergency Travel Assistance Program
- Group legal plan
Also there is a line: "Position may be subject to pre-employment screening, which may include background check and drug testing." That's not a benefit but a condition; we might drop as boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a condition. Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop as it's not substantive benefit.
Also "Accessibility: If you need accommodation as part of the employment process, contact ceicareers@mastec.com." That's application instruction; drop.
"Due to the high volume of applications received, we are unable to respond to individual requests regarding application status. Please log into your candidate profile for up-to-date information." Drop.
EEO boilerplate drop.
"MasTec Clean Energy & Infrastructure and our subsidiaries do not work with any third-party recruiters or agencies without a valid signed agreement and partnership with the Corporate Talent Acquisition Team." Drop.
"Service Line (UKG) : Name CAI-MasTec Civil, LLC" Drop.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
and content.
We'll decide sections:
About the role
-> company overview paragraph(s). Could be multiple
but we can combine into one
with line breaks? Better to keep as
containing the overview.
Responsibilities
-> - each duty.
Qualifications
-> - each qualification.
Skills
-> maybe split into two subsections? But we only have one heading Skills allowed. Could include both knowledge/skills/abilities and software skills under Skills. But we already have Qualifications covering knowledge/skills/abilities. To avoid duplication, we could put software skills under Skills, and keep Qualifications for experience/degree and maybe some abilities. However Qualifications already includes knowledge/skills/abilities list. If we move those to Skills, Qualifications would be thin. Better to keep Qualifications as experience/degree, and Skills for the rest (knowledge/skills/abilities + software skills). But the instructions say we can use Skills heading for any list of skills. So we can put all skill-related items under Skills, and Qualifications just for experience/degree. However the posting lumps knowledge/skills
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
