Take Off Technician

Description

• Build and QA/QC surface models (existing/proposed), align plan/profile sheets, and verify datum/benchmark consistency.
• Utilize Trimble Business Center, Microsoft Office, Bluebeam platforms.
• Import/clean survey data (alignments, control points) and reconcile with model geometry.
• Interface with field operations for constructability feedback and production rates.
• Generate mass haul diagrams, balance reports, and material summaries; apply appropriate swell/shrink factors and compaction assumptions.
• Organize takeoff folders, maintain version control and audit trails.
• Calculate trench volumes and bedding/backfill requirements by pipe class and depth; account for overbreak and trench safety allowances.
• Flag drawing conflicts, scope gaps, and bid risks; draft RFI language for estimator review.
• Interpret civil plans, details, and notes; corroborate with specifications, geotechnical reports, traffic control, SWPPP, and addenda/RFIs.
• Coordinate with estimators and project managers to align takeoffs with project phasing needs.
• Perform detailed digital takeoffs for earthwork (cut/fill, shrink/swell, over-excavation), utilities (water, sewer, storm), curb/gutter, base, asphalt, concrete, and structures (culverts, retaining walls).
• Support vendor/subcontractor quantity verification and scope delineation.

Requirements

KE&G Construction Inc., a 100% employee-owned company, is looking for a highly motivated and experienced Takeoff Technician to support and enhance our GPS and digital takeoff workflows. The Takeoff Technician assists the estimating team by producing accurate, well documented quantity takeoffs and clear scope definitions for heavy civil projects. This position is vital to bid accuracy, cost forecasting, and risk management across earthwork, underground utilities, paving, structures, and site improvements.

• Solid understanding of earthwork principles (topsoil stripping, moisture conditioning, over-exc, balancing), utility installation (pipe classes, manholes/structures), paving (mix types, lift thickness, density), and basic structural quantities.
• Familiarity with GPS machine control and drone files and survey workflows.
• Preferred not required Part 107 license. If hired without license candidate must obtain license upon hire
• Ability to read and interpret plan/profile, cross sections, details, specs, and geotech reports.
• Working knowledge of DOT/local agency standards (ADOT or jurisdictional equivalents), CSI divisions, and construction sequencing.
• 2–4+ years in heavy civil takeoffs or related preconstruction/estimating support.
• Strong proficiency with digital takeoff and civil modeling tools.
• Experience with Arizona agencies (City/County/ADOT).
• Exposure to production-based estimating and crew-based cost codes (e.g., HCSS).
• High attention to detail, disciplined documentation habits, and deadline reliability.
