  • Optimize: Implement best practices and maintain cutting-edge estimating protocols.

What You Bring

  • Experience: 10+ years in electrical estimating (Commercial/Industrial).
  • Tech Stack: Proficiency in Trimble Accubid, LiveCount, and Bluebeam. (AutoCAD & AGi32 are major pluses!)
  • Expertise: Deep knowledge of NEC requirements and electrical engineering math.
  • Leadership: Ability to manage multiple projects independently while keeping the team aligned.

Integrity: Must pass a background check and random drug testing.
