• Identify scope gaps, exclusions, constructability issues, long-lead items, and schedule or commercial risks.
• Prepare alternates, value-engineering ideas, clarifications, qualifications, and customer-ready proposals.
• Support hard-bid, negotiated, design-build, and design-assist pursuits and lead estimate reviews.
• Develop relationships with owners, general contractors, engineers, developers, vendors, and other partners.
• Help identify and qualify opportunities, support presentations and negotiations, and maintain disciplined follow-up.
• Create a thorough turnover package and transfer estimating knowledge to operations after award.

• Ability to independently build detailed estimates and clear proposals from complete or early-stage information.
• Strong knowledge of electrical construction methods, labor units, materials, equipment, plans, specifications, and codes.
• Customer-facing communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building ability.
• Sound judgment regarding margin, risk, capacity, schedule, and whether an opportunity fits TESIM Electric.
• Proficiency with electrical estimating, takeoff, spreadsheet, and document-review software.

Preferred Experience

• Data centers or mission-critical electrical work, including medium voltage, switchgear, generators, UPS, PDU/busway, grounding, controls, testing, and commissioning.
• An active network among owners, general contractors, engineers, developers, or technology-sector partners.
• Large, fast-track, phased, design-build, or design-assist pursuits.
• Accubid, LiveCount, Trimble, Bluebeam, BuildingConnected, or Procore; electrical field experience or license.
