  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)
