Overview As a Civil/Structural Estimator in STV's Project Controls group in NYC, you will develop detailed estimates for concrete and structural steel components on a high-visibility infrastructure project. You will work closely with engineers, designers, and construction managers to build cost models, assess constructability, and identify cost drivers. Your analyses will inform value engineering, change pricing, and risk management, helping optimize schedules and budgets. This role offers the chance to shape large-scale urban construction with cross-functional collaboration and visible impact.
