Job description

Titan is a leading national electrical contractor with locations in Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Titan maintains a strong reputation as a leading high-quality, customer-centric service provider which has resulted in strong financial growth since its inception in 2006. As a result, the company has become a trusted partner to its customers and suppliers and has established a proven track record of year-over-year growth. The company has significant opportunities to further penetrate its existing markets and expand into other geographies and service lines.
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.
Why It Matters
Your work determines whether we win the right projects at the right price. By delivering accurate, thoughtful estimates, you'll not only strengthen our bottom line but also protect our teams in the field-setting them up with realistic budgets and achievable goals.
What You Bring
  • 10+ years of experience in electrical estimating, with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
  • Strong knowledge of NEC, NFPA, and industry standards.
  • Experience with commercial, industrial, or mission-critical projects.
  • Proficiency in estimating software (Accubid, Trimble, Bluebeam, or similar).
  • The ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, one-lines, and specifications.
  • Leadership skills that inspire collaboration, accountability, and growth.

What You'll Need
  • A degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or related field-or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 7-10 years working with electrical systems in commercial or mission-critical construction.
  • Deep knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70/70E, IEEE, and NETA standards.
  • Experience managing QAQC across Levels 1-3 on electrical projects.
  • Ability to interpret one-lines, riser diagrams, panel schedules, and coordination studies.
  • Proficiency with QA tools (Procore, BIM 360, Smartsheet, CMMS).
  • Strong communication skills to lead issue resolution with contractors, engineers, commissioning agents, and clients.

Bonus Points If You Have
  • Certifications: PE (Electrical), LEED, ASPE, or CPE.
  • Experience working on data centers, hospitals, or advanced manufacturing projects.
  • Local vendor and subcontractor relationships in Georgia and the Southeast.

What Success Looks Like
  • Estimates are delivered on time, complete, and accurate-with no surprises for our clients or field teams.
  • Estimators on your team grow under your leadership, taking on more responsibility with confidence.
  • We consistently pursue and win projects that align with our company strategy and capabilities.
  • You're recognized as a trusted partner by leadership, project managers, and clients alike.

The Environment
  • This is a Duluth-based role with a hybrid schedule. You'll spend part of your time onsite collaborating face-to-face with project managers, engineers, and vendors, and part of your time working remotely for deep focus work. Occasional travel in the Southeast may be required for pre-bid meetings, site walks, and client presentations.

Benefits
  • Weekly pay
  • 401(k) matching with immediate vestment
  • Dental insurance
  • Flexible spending account
  • Health insurance
  • Health savings account
  • Life insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Parental leave
