Full Job Description
Role Description:

Arcadis is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Estimator to support one of the most iconic and consequential infrastructure initiatives in the United States - the Gateway Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP). In this role, you will play a key part in scoping and estimating costs across various aspects of the program, ensuring accurate and reliable projections to support successful project execution.

We are working in partnership with Parsons and Mace as part of the MPA Delivery Partner team, selected by the Gateway Development Commission to deliver this transformative project. The HTP is a critical component of the broader Gateway Program - one of the most ambitious and impactful transportation initiatives in the nation - and is designed to strengthen mobility, enhance resiliency, and ensure the long-term reliability of the Northeast Corridor.

The project encompasses the construction of a new, two-track rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River, along with the full rehabilitation of the existing 113-year-old North River Tunnel. This vital infrastructure supports more than 200,000 daily passengers via Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT and serves as a backbone for economic activity and connectivity between New York and New Jersey.

This is more than just a job - it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to contribute to a nationally significant infrastructure program that will reshape rail transportation, drive sustainable economic growth, and improve regional accessibility for millions. As part of this high-performing, multidisciplinary team, you will help deliver excellence on one of the most technically complex and high-profile projects in the world.

If you're seeking to make a meaningful, lasting impact - while advancing your career alongside some of the best minds in the industry - this is your moment.

Role Accountabilities:
  • Lead the development of detailed cost estimates across all project phases (conceptual, preliminary, and final design).
  • Analyze drawings, specifications, and other project documents to prepare accurate quantity takeoffs and pricing.
  • Collaborate with project managers, engineers, architects, and stakeholders to understand project scope and cost drivers.
  • Prepare cost breakdowns for civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, communications, signal, and track systems.
  • Ensure all estimates are compliant with industry standards, client requirements, and relevant regulations.
  • Perform risk and uncertainty analyses to develop contingencies and evaluate potential cost impacts.
  • Review contractor bids and change orders to support negotiation and procurement processes.

Required Qualifications:
  • 10 years of experience estimating complex infrastructure or tunnel projects.
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.

Key Skills and Abilities:
  • Proficiency in cost estimating methodologies and techniques related to construction.
  • Knowledge of New York City construction trade unions rates and rules.
  • Experience in preparing detailed cost estimates for MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing), civil, structural, or architectural construction projects.
  • Strong ability to produce high-quality materials within tight timeframes and manage multiple assignments simultaneously.

Arcadis offers benefits for full time and part time positions. These benefits include medical, dental, and vision, EAP, 401K, STD, LTD, AD&D, life insurance, paid parental leave, reward & recognition program and optional benefits including wellbeing benefits, adoption assistance and tuition reimbursement.
