• Strategic Value-Engineering: Identify project risks, exclusions, and value-engineering opportunities to consistently improve bid competitiveness and profit margins.
• Vendor Management: Source and manage vendor and subcontractor pricing while building and maintaining strong industry relationships.
• Team Coordination: Collaborate closely with project managers and field leadership to track bid outcomes and performance metrics.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Act as a leader in the office by supporting, training, and mentoring junior team members.

• Experience: 7–10+ years of dedicated electrical construction or estimating experience is required.
• Software Proficiency: Proven experience with Accubid or comparable electrical estimating platforms.
• Technical Knowledge: A strong, comprehensive understanding of the NEC, as well as commercial and industrial electrical systems.
• Blueprint Proficiency: The proven ability to accurately read and interpret complex construction plans and one-line diagrams.
