About the Position

The Electrical Estimator plays a vital role within the pre-construction team. This position directly shapes complex, mission-critical electrical projects involving standby generators, UPS systems, grounding, lightning protection, and essential power infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare accurate, complete cost estimates for electrical projects including labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor scope.
  • Review drawings, specifications, and technical documentation to determine project scope, design intent, and major cost drivers.
  • Solicit, evaluate, and incorporate supplier and subcontractor pricing into estimates.
  • Identify risks related to labor productivity, installation conditions, logistics, schedule, and constructability.
  • Develop clear, client-ready proposal packages including scope clarifications, assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions.
  • Collaborate with engineering and project management teams to ensure alignment between design intent and field feasibility.
  • Maintain and improve estimating databases, productivity factors, and standardized processes.
  • Support leadership in pre-construction planning, value engineering, and bid strategies.
  • Requirements

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