How much do schematic jobs pay per hour?
What are the typical responsibilities of a schematic designer on a project team?
Schematic Designers are responsible for creating detailed electrical or electronic circuit diagrams based on project requirements and engineering input. They work closely with engineers, drafters, and production teams to ensure that designs comply with industry standards and client specifications. Daily tasks include reviewing technical documentation, updating schematic layouts, and participating in design reviews to troubleshoot and resolve potential issues early in the development process. This role is vital for ensuring the smooth handoff from design to manufacturing and helps prevent costly errors down the line. Collaborative communication and adaptability are essential, as you may need to adjust schematics in response to new project challenges or feedback.
What is a schematic?
A Schematic job typically involves creating and interpreting technical diagrams that represent electrical circuits, system designs, or engineering layouts. Professionals in this role use specialized software to design schematics for manufacturing, construction, or product development. They ensure accuracy, compliance with industry standards, and proper functionality. This job is common in electronics, engineering, and architectural fields.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the schematic position, and why are they important?
To excel as a Schematic Designer, you need a strong background in electrical or electronic engineering, with expertise in reading and creating circuit schematics and diagrams. Proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD Electrical, OrCAD, or Altium Designer, and familiarity with industry standards and safety codes is essential. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and project managers are highly valued. These capabilities ensure accurate schematic designs that meet technical specifications and facilitate seamless integration within multidisciplinary teams.

Job description
As an Estimator at Progressive Companies, you will lead technical preconstruction estimating efforts that guide early project decisions and cost certainty. You’ll own quantity take-offs, subcontractor analysis, and budget creation, ensuring internal alignment and constructability. This role is ideal for someone energized by detailed estimating, data accuracy, and value engineering.
Deliver Results
- Perform detailed quantity take-offs for accurate cost estimates.
- Build and maintain cost databases using historical $/SF benchmarks, labor rates, and vendor pricing.
- Analyze subcontractor proposals and ensure alignment with project scope, schedule, and risk.
- Prepare and present conceptual estimates and budgets for internal planning and client use.
- Support schematic and design development phases by advising teams on cost alignment.
- Lead internal estimating meetings to review assumptions, validate inputs, and assess risk.
- Identify and recommend value engineering options to improve cost-efficiency and constructability.
- Maintain detailed records of estimates, bid clarifications, subcontractor quotes, and cost decisions.
- Serve as the cost estimating lead for mid-sized projects, supporting Project Managers and Design Leads.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of experience in construction estimating, with a focus on commercial or mid-sized projects.
- Demonstrated success managing cost estimates independently from schematic through bid.
- Strong ability to interpret construction documents and specifications with precision.
- Skilled in Microsoft Excel and Word; experience with Bluebeam and Procore preferred.
- Knowledge of subcontractor markets, scope writing, and proposal evaluation.
- OSHA-10, OSHA-30, or Residential Builders License are a plus.
