What is a junior electrical engineer?

Junior Electrical Engineers are entry-level professionals who assist in designing, developing, testing, and maintaining electrical systems and equipment. They typically work under the supervision of senior engineers, supporting tasks like drafting schematics, performing calculations, and troubleshooting issues. This role is ideal for recent graduates or individuals early in their engineering careers, offering hands-on experience and opportunities for professional growth.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a junior electrical engineer?

To thrive as a Junior Electrical Engineer, you need a solid understanding of electrical engineering principles, a relevant bachelor's degree, and foundational knowledge of circuit design and analysis. Familiarity with CAD software (such as AutoCAD or MATLAB), basic programming, and industry standards like IEEE are typically required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and effective communication skills help you collaborate and learn in dynamic project environments. These skills and qualifications enable accurate design, efficient troubleshooting, and successful integration with engineering teams.

What are common challenges faced by a junior electrical engineer during their first year?

As a Junior Electrical Engineer, one common challenge is adapting to the fast pace and technical complexity of real-world projects compared to academic work. You may also find it challenging to interpret and update electrical schematics, troubleshoot unexpected issues onsite, and manage multiple deadlines. Collaborating effectively with senior engineers and other departments—like mechanical or civil teams—requires strong communication skills and a willingness to learn. However, these experiences provide valuable learning opportunities and help build the foundation for career advancement.

Job description

Serve Electric | Sterling Heights, Michigan

ABOUT THIS ROLE

As a Junior Electrical Project Estimator, you'll work directly alongside our estimating and project management team to help price medium to large scale industrial electrical projects- material handling, conveyors, industrial power distribution, process controls, and communication cabling. You'll be involved from the moment an RFQ comes in all the way through to project kickoff.

This role is best suited for candidates with 0–3 years of professional experience- including recent graduates, early-career professionals, or those early in an electrical/technical career path who are eager to learn and grow in the electrical estimating field. You'll be joining a team of experienced estimators who will train you directly, with an expectation of shadowing and hands-on mentorship for your first 3-6 months as you ramp up.

The Junior Electrical Project Estimator will support in preparing cost estimates, reviewing project scopes, and managing documentation to ensure project success.

WHAT WE OFFER
  • Competitive Salary
  • Full Benefits Package: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, and HSA
  • 401(k) with Company match
  • PTO & Paid Holidays
  • Hands-On Training: you'll learn estimating from experienced professionals in the industrial electrical space
  • Career Growth & Development Opportunities: over time, with training and experience, there's room to grow
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Project Estimating & Support:

  • Assist in reviewing and interpreting customer RFQ documentation
  • Support in preparing cost estimates for electrical projects, including material take-offs and labor calculations
  • Learn to analyze project plans, specifications, and other documents to understand project scope and requirements
  • Assist in developing accurate cost estimates for industrial power distribution, process controls, and communication cabling
  • Help track costs and maintain accurate project documentation

Project Coordination & Documentation:

  • Support the transition of quotes to active projects by compiling necessary project documentation
  • Help maintain project schedules and punch lists to track deliverables
  • Assist in reviewing purchase orders and service agreements with leadership
  • Participate in project debriefs to improve future estimating processes

Customer & Team Communication:

  • Assist in coordinating and scheduling customer meetings to review project scope and requirements
  • Support communication between clients, vendors, and internal teams regarding estimates and project details
  • Travel to job sites as needed to gather information for estimating purposes
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
  • 0–3 years of professional experience - recent graduates and early-career candidates encouraged to apply
  • Some exposure to electrical parts, components, or materials i.e. a co-op, internship, part-time job, or early role at an electrical/industrial supply house, wholesaler, distributor, or contractor. We're not looking for deep specialization here, we want someone early in their career who's curious and ready to learn
  • Basic understanding of electrical systems, blueprints, and construction practices
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
  • Willingness to learn and grow within the company

If you're a recent grad or an early-career candidate with a technical mind and a hunger to learn, we want to hear from you! You'll be working alongside experienced professionals who will invest in your development, but you need to show up ready to dig in, ask good questions, and take ownership of your work.
