Low Voltage Electrical Estimator (Data Center Fit-Out)

Job Description

Overview

Oracle is seeking a Low Voltage Electrical Estimator to support data center fit-out projects across multiple regions. This role focuses on labor-driven estimating, BOM validation, parametric cost modeling, and contractor engagement to ensure accurate, competitive pricing.

The ideal candidate has strong experience in data center or mission-critical environments, is comfortable working with limited design information, and can both build and defend cost positions through direct engagement with general contractors and subcontractors.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop low voltage electrical estimates for data center fit-out scopes (structured cabling, pathways, racks, containment, and associated systems)

• Review and validate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and translate them into detailed labor hour build-ups, productivity assumptions, and fully developed cost estimates

• Build parametric and conceptual cost models using limited inputs, including unit-based approaches (e.g., $/rack, $/MW, $/LF, $/port)

• Develop estimate line items, assumptions, and cost build-ups to support Class 4 and Class 5 estimates within a P70 contingency range

• Operate effectively in early-stage or incomplete design environments, developing estimates from minimal information

Commercial & Contractor Engagement

• Review, level, and analyze GC and subcontractor bids/proposals

• Develop and defend "should-cost" positions using internal models and benchmarks

• Challenge labor assumptions, productivity rates, and markups

• Identify scope gaps, overlaps, and inefficiencies in contractor pricing

• Support or lead commercial negotiations to drive competitive and transparent outcomes

Ways of Working (Critical)

• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

• Able to identify missing information, chase down inputs, and progress work independently

• Takes ownership of estimates from start to finish, including assumption validation and stakeholder coordination

• Works with limited oversight and high accountability

Expected Deliverables

• Labor-driven estimates based on BOMs

• Parametric and conceptual cost models

• Bid leveling and comparative analyses

• "Should-cost" models to support negotiations

• Assumptions logs, risk assessments, and contingency recommendations

• Clear, executive-ready cost summaries

Responsibilities

Qualifications

• 10-15+ years of experience in electrical estimating, with a focus on low voltage systems

• Proven experience in data center or mission-critical fit-out projects

• Strong capability in BOM-based estimating and labor build-ups, parametric modeling with limited design input, and negotiating with contractors and subcontractors

• Solid understanding of low voltage installation methods, labor productivity, contractor pricing structures, and market dynamics

• Advanced proficiency in Excel-based cost modeling

• Strong communication and influencing skills
