  3. Solicit, evaluate, and incorporate supplier and subcontractor pricing into estimates.
  4. Identify risks related to labor productivity, installation conditions, logistics, schedule, and constructability.
  5. Develop clear, client-ready proposal packages including scope clarifications, assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions.
  6. Collaborate with engineering and project management teams to ensure alignment between design intent and field feasibility.
  7. Maintain and improve estimating databases, productivity factors, and standardized processes.
  8. Support leadership in pre-construction planning, value engineering, and bid strategies.

Requirements

  1. 5+ years of electrical estimating experience, preferably with mission-critical, commercial, industrial, or power-system projects.
  2. Strong knowledge of electrical systems, drawings, and construction documentation.
  3. Experience with industry estimating software ( Accubid preferred ).
  4. Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to identify key cost factors.
  5. Ability to manage multiple deadlines and operate independently with limited supervision.
  6. Strong communication skills for interfacing with internal teams, vendors, and subcontractors.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary ($110,000–$140,000 , depending on experience)
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement plan options (e.g., 401(k) with company match)
  • Paid time off, holidays, and sick leave
  • Professional development and continuing education support
  • Opportunities for advancement into senior estimating or pre-construction leadership roles
  • Collaborative culture emphasizing growth, mentorship, and technical excellence
