TerraFirma is transforming construction through automation and bold engineering—faster, safer, and cheaper. Join us in building the future from Texas. Backed by Kleiner Perkins.
About the role
You will support the preparation of accurate cost estimates for earthworks and site development projects. Working closely with estimators, engineers, project managers, and business development, you will help turn project plans, field information, and pricing inputs into competitive bids.
What they're looking for
- 1+ years of experience in construction, civil engineering, estimating, earthworks, or heavy civil projects
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred but not required
- Familiarity with construction estimating software such as Trimble, B2W, AGTEK, Bluebeam, or similar tools is helpful but not required
- Strong attention to detail and analytical skills
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams
- Interest in heavy civil construction, estimating, and field operations
More about this role
At TerraFirma, we’re redefining how the world moves earth for construction. Founded by former SpaceX engineers and backed by Kleiner Perkins and Bain Capital Ventures, TerraFirma is automating construction to make it faster, cheaper, and safer.
At SpaceX, we were part of the teams that built the largest rocket in human history, launched the largest constellation of satellites ever made, and delivered connectivity to millions of people worldwide. What we learned was simple: infrastructure is everything.
At Starbase, the biggest barrier to launching missions to Mars was not building the rocket. It was how slow, expensive, and complex it was to build the infrastructure around it. We lacked buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management, and constructing them took far more time and resources than it should have.
From a first-principles perspective, that doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be this hard or costly to create the foundations for progress. That’s when we realized something important: the same engineering mindset that enabled us to tackle space exploration and mass manufacturing could be applied to infrastructure. By bringing the principles of...
