  • Coordinate with project managers, vendors, suppliers, and management throughout the estimating process
  • Maintain organized bid documentation and estimating records
  • Assist with bid submissions and required supporting documentation
  • Participate in project turnover after award to ensure scope, pricing, assumptions, and project requirements are clearly communicated to the project team
  • Track bid results and assist with maintaining current material and labor pricing

Qualifications

  • Electrical industry experience is required
  • Experience estimating commercial, industrial, municipal, or similar electrical projects is strongly preferred

  • Strong understanding of electrical materials, systems, installation methods, and labor requirements
  • Experience performing material and labor takeoffs
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines simultaneously
  • Ability to communicate effectively with vendors, subcontractors, project managers, customers, and management
  • Proficiency with computers and standard business software
  • Electrical estimating software experience is preferred

Preferred Background

We welcome candidates whose electrical knowledge comes from estimating, project management, field experience, or a combination of these areas.

Experience with any of the following is especially valuable:

  • Commercial and industrial electrical work
  • Municipal, government, or other public-sector projects
  • Lighting and lighting control systems
  • Electrical service and distribution
  • Generator projects
  • Plan/spec and competitive bid work

Schedule & Compensation

  • Full-time position
  • Houston, Texas
  • Compensation based on experience and qualifications
