Estimating Assistant Jobs in Washington (NOW HIRING)

Job Title: Senior Electrical & Systems Estimator (Industrial Infrastructure)
Role Overview
We are seeking a seasoned Senior Electrical & Systems Estimator to drive the cost-estimation strategy for complex, large-scale industrial infrastructure projects. In this role, you will be responsible for developing both conceptual and detailed estimates across the full project lifecycle-from early-stage programming to 100% Construction Documents and through to change-order management.
This is a high-autonomy position for an expert who understands not just how to "calculate" costs, but how to "build" the project on paper. You will serve as the technical authority for electrical systems, providing the logic, market foresight, and risk analysis required to ensure our bids are accurate, competitive, and profitable.
Key Responsibilities
Estimation & Technical Analysis
• Project Estimating: Develop detailed cost estimates for complex electrical and integrated systems. Generate precise quantity takeoffs, interpret technical plans/specifications, and apply labor/material pricing schedules.
• Methodology Development: Create a comprehensive "Basis of Estimate" for every bid, clearly articulating the methodology, assumptions, and work breakdown structure (WBS) used to derive project costs.
• Market Intelligence: Monitor construction market trends, labor availability, and material pricing fluctuations, integrating these insights into competitive bid strategies.
Strategic Contribution
• Risk & Value Engineering: Proactively contribute to risk analysis, value engineering, and constructability reviews. Identify potential cost-saving opportunities and technical hurdles early in the design phase.
• Cost Modeling: Create and maintain dynamic cost models for recurring project elements, leveraging historical data to refine future estimation accuracy.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with functional leads, subcontractors, and vendors to collect accurate pricing data. Assist the lead estimator with executive reporting and the assembly of final project deliverables.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
• Experience Baseline: Minimum of ten (10) years of electrical/systems estimating experience within industrial or heavy commercial construction.
• Estimation Rigor: Proven ability to perform quality quantity surveys and apply complex unit-price/labor-factor calculations.
• Technical Literacy: Ability to read/interpret advanced electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, and technical specifications. Deep working knowledge of relevant electrical codes.
• Software Proficiency: Expert proficiency in standard estimating/productivity suites (e.g., Bluebeam, MS Project, PDF editors).
Preferred Attributes
• Proven track record in "Hard Bid" general contracting environments.
• Hands-on field experience with actual electrical/systems installations (the "boots on the ground" perspective).
• Proficiency in Sage Estimating software.
• Ability to foresee project-specific risks and anticipate changes before they impact the bottom line.
