This is a Lead Estimator position with real influence. You’ll be hands-on with major pursuits, working in HCSS HeavyBid, helping shape strategy, pricing, and risk, not just compiling numbers.
That’s why estimators from much larger organizations regularly choose to step into this team of ~45 rather than wait another 5–10 years for a title change elsewhere.
They’ve kept their people because people are paid properly, recognized, and given real runway.

There is a clear succession path into a Chief Estimator role when the current Chief retires if that’s what you want. And if it’s not? Staying as a highly paid, respected Lead Estimator is fully acceptable here. No forced ladder climbing. No pressure titles. That flexibility matters more than most firms realize.
