Earthwork Agtek Modeling Tech

Clark Bros Inc•Fresno, CA

12d•$25 - $35

About The Position

The Earthwork Agtek Modeling Tech supports Clark Bros, Inc.’s preconstruction and estimating work by developing digital terrain and grading models, performing earthwork quantity takeoffs, and preparing construction models using AGTEK and AutoCAD. The position contributes to project feasibility reviews, competitive estimates, constructability assessments, and the handoff from estimating to construction. Working with preconstruction, estimating, and operations teams, the role reviews civil plans, specifications, site conditions, and grading designs to produce reliable quantity calculations and practical earthwork models. It also analyzes cut-and-fill quantities, material movement, haul distances, borrow and waste requirements, and opportunities to improve project efficiency and reduce costs. The position requires attention to detail, technical problem-solving, a working understanding of heavy civil construction and earthwork operations, and a commitment to company values and safety. The role primarily involves computer-based modeling, drafting, quantity analysis, and coordination, with occasional site visits.

Requirements

Minimum 2–3 years of experience in heavy civil construction, earthwork estimating, quantity takeoffs, CAD drafting, or digital construction modeling; equivalent relevant education and experience may be considered.
Working knowledge of AutoCAD, including the ability to review and work with civil drawings, surfaces, alignments, contours, and design geometry.
Ability to read and interpret civil construction plans, grading plans, profiles, cross-sections, specifications, and topographic surveys.
Understanding of earthwork operations, grading, material balancing, import/export calculations, and heavy civil construction methods.
Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
Ability to identify inconsistencies in plans, quantities, and digital models and communicate findings effectively.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, for quantity analysis, reporting, and estimating support.
Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize deadlines, and work effectively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Strong written, verbal, communication, and interpersonal skills.
Ability to collaborate with estimating, preconstruction, engineering, and field operations personnel.
A proactive approach to identifying constructability issues, improving workflows, and developing practical solutions.
Must possess a valid driver’s license and be insurable.
Must be physically and mentally able to perform the essential duties without hazard to themselves or others.
Duties may require sitting and standing for extended periods, using a computer and standard office equipment, reviewing plans and technical documents, and communicating with team members.
Occasional site visits may require walking on uneven terrain and navigating active construction environments while following applicable safety requirements.

Nice To Haves

Proficiency in AGTEK software for earthwork modeling, quantity takeoffs, and cut-and-fill analysis is strongly preferred.
Experience supporting construction cost estimates, bid preparation, quantity calculations, or construction planning is preferred.
Familiarity with renewable energy, utility-scale solar, battery storage, electrical infrastructure, site development, or other large-scale civil construction projects is a plus.
Experience operating drones for aerial site surveys, progress documentation, and construction mapping; an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is required or must be obtained.
Experience operating RTK-equipped commercial drones for construction surveying, topographic mapping, and site documentation.
Experience collecting aerial survey data and processing imagery using Pix4D (Pix4Dmatic, Pix4Dmapper, or equivalent).
Ability to process drone survey data into orthomosaics, digital surface models (DSM), digital terrain models (DTM), and point clouds.
Experience exporting processed survey data, including LAS/LAZ point clouds and georeferenced orthomosaics, for integration into AGTEK software.
Familiarity with drone-generated data for earthwork takeoffs, existing ground surface models, cut/fill analysis, and construction progress tracking.
Ability to plan and execute drone missions while maintaining appropriate RTK corrections, ground control, and coordinate system accuracy.

Responsibilities

Know, understand, and uphold the company’s mission statement and core values.
Develop and maintain digital terrain models, existing ground surfaces, and proposed grading models using AGTEK and AutoCAD.
Perform detailed earthwork quantity takeoffs, including cut and fill, over-excavation, unsuitable material, import/export, and other applicable sitework quantities.
Review civil engineering plans, grading plans, profiles, cross-sections, specifications, and topographic survey data to understand project scope and construction requirements.
Interpret design surfaces, contours, spot elevations, and site geometry to develop accurate earthwork models and quantity calculations.
Prepare, analyze, and reconcile earthwork quantities to support cost estimating, bid preparation, and project planning.
Use AGTEK and AutoCAD to develop and refine grading models, surface comparisons, quantity reports, and supporting exhibits for estimating and construction teams.
Identify discrepancies, design conflicts, missing information, and potential constructability issues in project documents and digital models.
Assist in evaluating alternative grading concepts, construction approaches, and earthwork strategies to identify cost savings and improve project efficiency.
Analyze haul distances, material balancing, borrow and waste requirements, and other factors affecting earthwork costs and production.
Coordinate with estimators, project managers, superintendents, survey personnel, and other team members to validate quantities, assumptions, and construction methods.
Assist in developing quantity summaries, takeoff documentation, estimate workbooks, and other bid-submission deliverables.
Review addenda, revised plans, and design changes to assess impacts on quantities, pricing, and project scope.
Support bid clarifications, scope reviews, and quantity comparisons for subcontractors, suppliers, and internal estimating teams.
Maintain organized digital project files, model revisions, quantity reports, and supporting documentation.
Assist with the transition of awarded projects from preconstruction to operations by providing final quantity takeoffs, digital models, and relevant estimating information.
Stay current with AGTEK, AutoCAD, digital modeling tools, and evolving technologies used in heavy civil construction and earthwork estimating.
Perform other duties as assigned in support of preconstruction, estimating, and company objectives.
