    • Identify missing information, conflicts, and required clarifications.

  • Estimate Development

    • Build estimates using Photo Electric’s standardized labor rates and material markup (1.7x).

    • Apply correct classifications for journeyman vs. apprentice labor.

    • Prepare clear scope narratives, alternates, exclusions, and assumptions.

  • Vendor & Subcontractor Coordination

    • Request and compare supplier quotes for gear, lighting, specialty equipment, and fire alarm components.

    • Maintain updated pricing libraries.

  • Client & Internal Communication

    • Work with owners, GCs, and project managers to clarify scope and answer pre‑bid questions.

    • Support project managers with change order pricing and budget updates.

    • Attend pre‑bid meetings and walkthroughs as needed.

  • Documentation & Handoff

    • Prepare complete bid packages including estimate sheets, scope letters, and supporting documents.

    • Provide clean handoff to operations with labor breakdowns, material lists, and critical project notes.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 2+ years electrical estimating experience OR 3+ years field electrical experience with strong plan-reading skills.

  • Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, and code requirements.

  • Strong understanding of branch circuits, service equipment, lighting layouts, and fire alarm systems.

  • Proficiency with estimating software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam, or similar).

  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.

  • High attention to detail and ability to work independently.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience estimating for small to mid-size electrical contractors.

  • Familiarity with Oregon permitting requirements.

  • Ability to create labor breakdowns by floor, area, or system (matching Photo Electric’s current workflow).
