Garney Construction • McKinney, TX

1d

About The Position

Garney is hiring a full-time, salaried Estimator to join its growing Estimating Team. The position includes full benefits and participation in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The company seeks a self-motivated candidate with previous estimating experience, preferably in water, wastewater, or industrial markets. Candidates with experience estimating heavy civil earthwork, cast-in-place concrete structures, underground yard piping, and/or above-grade process piping systems are sought. Experience estimating at-risk self-performing contracts is preferred over construction manager at-risk delivery methods.

The Estimator prepares estimates for water and wastewater treatment projects, analyzes project documents and cost factors, solicits proposals, and coordinates estimate information with field operations. The role may involve working on multiple projects simultaneously and developing conceptual estimates from limited information.

Garney provides medical, prescription, dental, and vision plans with $0 premiums, virtual doctor visits without a co-pay, company stock starting on the first day, a 401(k) plan with a 3.5% match, student loan resources, weekly paychecks, paid time off, eight paid holidays, and a Health Savings Account with lump-sum and matching contributions. Other offerings include free life insurance and disability coverage, healthcare coordinators, no-cost mental health counseling and legal and financial consultations, health-related support programs, and a 50% employee discount at the Garney apparel store.

Garney is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and maintains a background-screening, drug-free workplace. A post-offer physical and site-specific background check may be required.
