As our Chief Electrical Estimator, you'll be the expert behind the numbers. Your work sets the foundation for winning projects and building trust with our clients. You'll lead the estimating team, bring accuracy to every bid, and ensure that we price projects to succeed-not just to win on paper.
On any given day, you might:
• Lead the full estimating process for complex electrical projects-from bid review through final proposal.
• Evaluate drawings, specifications, and scope to build complete, accurate cost estimates.
• Partner with PM's, engineers, and preconstruction teams to align estimates with execution strategies.
• Mentor and coach estimators, helping them grow technical expertise and confidence.
• Build strong relationships with vendors, ensuring we get the best pricing and insights.
• Contribute to strategy: deciding which projects to pursue, stay competitive, and where to innovate.
