Since 1919, our innovative solutions have improved construction productivity and reduced risks, ensuring projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget. With over 6,000 employees spanning 50+ locations worldwide, our teams are dedicated to delivering advanced technologies and engineering expertise that address real-world challenges across a wide range of industries.\nOur sustainable solutions, made from high quality, graded scrap steel, promote circular construction by making piping systems infinitely reconfigured and minimizing environmental impact. Today, our high-quality products are used in more than 140 countries, supporting some of the world's most critical and prestigious structures.\nAn Industry Leader With a Heart as Big as Its Ambition and Innovation\nAt Victaulic, we're committed to constructing a better world for and with our people.\nLet's Build a Better World Together.\nOur commitment to our people is built on four pillars:\nWe build from within.\nWe stand behind our people.\nWe foster an environment for constant learning.\nWe engineer change for a more stable and sustainable world.\nYOUR IMPACT STARTS HERE\nWe're looking for an Infrastructure Estimating Engineer to join our dedicated Infrastructure Support Team within Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) Estimating, reporting to the Manager, Estimating - VDC. In this role, you'll own Infrastructure Tech Review: the technical readiness and risk gate for Infrastructure estimating. You'll decide whether an opportunity is ready to estimate, interpret specifications, and identify technical and commercial risk before material takeoff hours are committed, applying engineering and fabrication judgment inside the estimating function to improve scope clarity, pricing confidence, and pursuit quality. The primary accountability is estimating support, not project execution. This role is expected to grow into a senior Infrastructure estimating leadership position, with more influence over estimating strategy and long-term ownership of the Infrastructure estimating business.\nWHAT YOU'LL BUILD & OWN\nTechnical Review Decisions\nDecide whether a request is complete enough to estimate, or goes on hold or back to Sales.\nDetermine whether the work needs modeling or document-only estimating, and the estimating material take-off hours required to perform it.\nDefine scope boundaries and the assumptions that must be clarified with Sales.\nIdentify risks significant enough to affect bid/no-bid, margin, or pursuit strategy, and decide when to escalate them.\nInfrastructure Tech Review\nReview project specifications for scope requirements, exclusions, and risk drivers across Ductile Iron, Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel projects in the United States and Canada.\nCover American Water Works Association requirements, coatings and linings, materials, pressure and reinforcement, nondestructive examination and radiography, passivation, Professional Engineer-stamped procedures, and American Iron and Steel and Build America, Buy America compliance, and determine fabrication feasibility.\nRaise risks at Tech Review, coordinating with Fabrication Quality Assurance and Quality Control on risks and red flags that could alter the status of the quote.\nMaintain the Infrastructure Estimating Risk Log with owner, status, and mitigation for each active item.\nUse the VDC artificial intelligence Spec Agent to support specification interpretation, producing a standardized report.\nSales Interface\nServe as Sales' primary technical contact during pursuits on assumptions, feasibility, and scope.\nOwn Sales issues directly.\nHold the line on incomplete or unclear requests and return them for clarification.\nPMD Communication\nAct as the point of contact with PMD for questions such as, but not limited to, American Water Works Association Manual M11 questions, wall calculations, and reinforcement calculations, and carry the results into the review.\nSecondary Responsibilities\nAs needed, and only when coordinated so they don't compete with estimating priorities:\nProvide limited subject matter support on American Water Works Association standards, coatings and linings, fabrication shop capabilities, and project-specific piping questions.\nPerform targeted quality checks: flow, layout, FAB MAP, and spool checks.\nAdvise VDC infrastructure coordinators, without taking on execution or delivery ownership.\nAssist Project Execution and Fabrication with non-Victaulic submittals.\nKey Interfaces\nSales-primary interface; you own technical issues and clarifications.\nPMD-American Water Works Association Manual M11 questions, wall and reinforcement calculations.\nEstimating team-hand off qualified, scoped requests with assigned hours.\nVDC infrastructure coordinators-advisory only.\nFabrication Quality Assurance and Quality Control-coordinate on risks and red flags that could alter the status of the quote.\nProject Execution-assist with non-Victaulic submittals, together with Fabrication.\nEngineering and Quality-as needed.\nHow Success Is Measured\nEarly risk capture: risks identified at Tech Review rather than during design, building information modeling coordination, or after award.\nRisk log quality: every active item has an owner, status, and mitigation path if awarded.\nTurnaround and backlog: days from Tech Review request to complete, and open Infrastructure reviews at week's end.\nOut of Scope\nDay-to-day VDC project execution.\nOwnership of fabrication, shop production, or project deliverables.\nWHAT YOU BRING\nExtensive experience in engineering, fabrication, or water and wastewater infrastructure.\nStrong ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications, and industry standards, including American Water Works Association standards.\nDemonstrated judgment in identifying technical and commercial risk, and in translating engineering detail into estimating and business impact.\nConfidence to push back on Sales with clear reasons, and to influence decisions without direct ownership.\nComfort learning and using software tools used in Tech Review and specification review.\nWHAT SETS YOU APART\nWorking knowledge of ductile iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel piping systems, coatings and linings, and pipe fabrication.\nEngineering degree or equivalent job experience.\nExperience with shop prefabrication, American Water Works Association Manual M11, welding and nondestructive examination requirements, and American Iron and Steel and Build America, Buy America compliance.\nFamiliarity with Canadian infrastructure codes and standards.\nPrior experience in estimating or pre-construction.\nWHAT WE OFFER\nBuild A Better Career\nCompetitive compensation with performance-based incentives\nCareer development programs and internal promotion pathways-we build from within\nTuition reimbursement and continuous learning opportunities\nBuild A Better Future\nComprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage\nRetirement savings plans with company match\nLife insurance and disability coverage\nBuild A Better You\nPaid time off, holidays, and flexible work arrangements where applicable\nEmployee Assistance Programs (EAP) and wellness resources\nInclusive, team-oriented culture where people look out for one another\nBuild A Better World\nJoin a company whose products contribute to a safer, more sustainable built environment every day.\nIMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP\nVictaulic does not provide immigration sponsorship (e.g., H-1B, TN, or other work visa sponsorship) for this position. All applicants must be currently authorized to work in the applicable country on a full-time basis without the need for employer-sponsored immigration support now or in the future.\nEQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY\nVictaulic is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EOE/M/F/Vets/Disabled) employer and welcomes all qualified applicants.
