Most Electrical Contractors Need More Than an Estimator.

They need someone who can see around corners.

Someone who can build strategy before the job hits the field.

Someone who can identify risk before it becomes a change order.

Someone who can win work, build teams, mentor estimators, influence operations, and help drive profitable growth.

That's this role.

We're looking for a Director of Preconstruction to lead our estimating and preconstruction efforts across commercial, industrial, mission-critical, healthcare, manufacturing, and large-scale electrical projects.

This is not a "head-down estimator" position.

This is a seat at the leadership table.

You'll help determine what work we pursue, how we pursue it, and how we position ourselves to win.

What You'll Be Responsible For
Lead the Preconstruction Team
Build, mentor, and develop estimators and preconstruction professionals
Establish estimating standards, processes, and best practices
Review major bids before submission
Create consistency across all regional estimating efforts
Help grow the next generation of preconstruction leaders
Own the Bid Strategy

Develop winning approaches for negotiated, design-assist, design-build, and hard-bid projects
Identify project risks, gaps, and value-engineering opportunities
Partner with operations to ensure estimates align with real-world execution
Drive Revenue Growth
Support business development efforts with key clients and partners
Participate in contractor, owner, architect, and engineer meetings
Strengthen relationships with general contractors and strategic customers
Help position the company for long-term growth in target markets
Build Accurate, Competitive Estimates

Ensure estimates are complete, defensible, and profitable
Review market conditions and cost trends affecting project outcomes
Partner with Operations
Lead turnover meetings with project teams
Ensure smooth transitions from preconstruction to execution
Capture lessons learned from completed projects
Continuously improve estimating accuracy

After your first year:

The estimating team is stronger than when you arrived.
Win rates have improved.
Margins are healthier.
Project turnover is smoother.
Operations trusts the numbers.
Clients trust your expertise.
Leadership looks to you for strategic direction.

Most importantly, the company is winning the right work—not just more work.

What You Bring
Required
10+ years in electrical construction estimating, preconstruction, or project management
Proven experience leading large commercial electrical bids

Deep knowledge of electrical systems, construction methods, and project delivery models

This Job Is Probably Not For You If...
You prefer working independently without collaboration
You don't enjoy mentoring others
You avoid customer interaction
You struggle making decisions with incomplete information
You want to stay in the details instead of helping shape company strategy
Why People Join Us

Because they want a bigger seat at the table.

You'll work alongside executive leadership, operations, business development, and project teams to help shape the future of the company.
