Job description

Electrical Estimator — BES Electric

BES Electric, a commercial electrical contractor serving the Phoenix metro and Maricopa County since 1988, is looking for an experienced Electrical Estimator to join our team. This role is flexible  we're open to full-time, part-time, or piecework (per-bid) arrangements for the right person.
This is not an entry-level position. You must have proven estimating experience and a genuine electrical background  real hands-on time in the field, not just office experience.
What you'll do:

  • Perform accurate quantity takeoffs from plans and specifications
  • Prepare competitive, well-organized bids for commercial electrical projects
  • Read and interpret electrical drawings, blueprints, and specs
  • Source current material pricing from suppliers and vendors
  • Coordinate with project managers and field crews to keep estimates grounded in reality
  • Open to Hybird or in office freelance 
What you must bring:

  • Proven experience as an electrical estimator (commercial work strongly preferred)
  • Hands-on field experience as an electrician — you know how the work actually gets installed
  • Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, specs, and scopes of work
  • Working knowledge of the NEC and local codes
  • Accuracy, accountability, and the ability to meet bid deadlines
If you've got the field experience to back up your numbers and want flexible work with an established Arizona contractor, we'd like to hear from you.
To apply: [your preferred email / phone / application link]
Want me to drop in your application contact info, and do you want a shorter version tailored for Facebook or a job board like Indeed/ZipRecruiter? I can also add pay range or "1099 / contract" language for the piecework angle if you'd like.
