Senior Software Developer Jobs in Pomeroy, IA (NOW HIRING)

Sign-on Bonus $7500

Are you an experienced electrical estimator ready to influence multimillion-dollar industrial projects-not just price them?

At Interstates, you'll step into a senior-level role where your expertise helps shape project strategy, client decisions, and winning proposals. This is more than takeoffs-it's leadership, collaboration, and real impact from preconstruction through execution.

We're looking for a Senior Electrical Estimator - Industrial Preconstruction to join our team and help drive accurate, strategic estimates for complex industrial projects. In this role, you won't just estimate-you'll help shape how projects are built, priced, and won.

What You'll Do

• Own the full estimating lifecycle by analyzing drawings, specs, and bid documents to deliver accurate, competitive electrical estimates
• Translate design intent into real-world cost impacts for both design-build and plan/spec projects
• Partner with clients, vendors, and internal teams to shape scope, align expectations, and define what success looks like
• Deliver complete estimates across a wide range of project sizes, from early budget pricing to final proposals
• Leverage historical cost data and strong analytical skills to make precise, data-driven decisions
• Collaborate across disciplines to identify scope gaps, overlaps, and downstream impacts to ensure complete project coverage
• Lead communication with stakeholders and confidently guide client conversations and scope reviews
• Develop winning strategies, value-add ideas, and value-engineered solutions that improve cost and constructability
• Proactively identify and mitigate risk, clearly documenting assumptions, clarifications, and decisions throughout the bid cycle
• Build clear, compelling proposals and ensure a seamless handoff to execution teams
• Contribute beyond the bid by supporting change orders, cost-to-complete efforts, and estimating standards and best practices
• Strengthen the team by mentoring junior estimators, supporting department operations and tools, maintaining strong relationships, and consistently delivering high-quality work under tight deadlines

What You Bring

• Bachelor's or associate's degree in a construction-related field, or equivalent technical training, plus 3-5 years of industrial electrical estimating experience
• Strong understanding of design-build and plan/spec work
• Ability to interpret complex drawings and translate them into cost impacts
• Experience with estimating software such as Accubid or BHS, and proficiency in Bluebeam, Excel, and Microsoft Office; familiarity with AutoCAD and Microsoft Project preferred
• Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to lead client and team discussions
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to perform effectively under deadlines
