- Participate in pre-bid meetings and communicate with owners, general contractors, suppliers, and design teams.
- Support project turnover by providing estimating documentation to operations after award.
- Maintain estimating databases, historical pricing, and bid records for future projects.
Requirements
- 5+ years of commercial electrical estimating experience.
- Experience estimating commercial, industrial, or institutional electrical projects.
- Strong understanding of electrical systems, construction drawings, and specifications.
- Experience performing detailed quantity takeoffs and preparing complete bid proposals.
- Proficiency with electrical estimating software and Microsoft Excel.
- Ability to manage multiple bids and deadlines simultaneously.
- Strong communication and organizational skills.
- Residential-only estimating experience will not be sufficient.
Benefits
