DFW Metroplex, TX | $70,000 – $85,000

Build the foundation for your estimating career with landmark electrical projects.

Linton Talent Recruitment is partnering with a well-established, highly respected electrical contractor in the DFW Metroplex to identify a Junior Electrical Estimator
. This contractor delivers complex commercial and industrial projects with a strong emphasis on safety, quality, and long-term client relationships.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a contractor with a deep project backlog, repeat clients, and a reputation built over decades—not a bid-only shop, but a company that builds what it estimates.

As a Junior Electrical Estimator, you’ll support the estimating team in preparing accurate, competitive bids for commercial and industrial projects. You’ll gain hands‑on experience in analyzing project requirements, performing takeoffs, and learning the fundamentals of cost estimation, all while collaborating with operations and project management.

You’ll work on projects that are:

• Technically challenging
• Operationally complex
• Delivered to repeat clients who value quality and reliability

• Assist in analyzing drawings, specifications, and scope documents to perform takeoffs
• Help prepare bid proposals including labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor costs
• Support pre‑bid activities such as site visits, scope reviews, and bid meetings
• Identify potential project risks and constructability concerns under guidance from senior estimators
• Build relationships with vendors, subcontractors, and internal teams
• Collaborate with project managers to ensure smooth transition from bid to build
• Track bid data to improve estimating accuracy and processes
• Stay current with NEC requirements, distribution systems, and industry best practices

• Some experience or education in estimating electrical, commercial, or industrial projects (internships, co‑ops, or 1–2 years in related roles acceptable)
• Basic understanding of electrical systems, codes, and construction practices
• Ability to interpret blueprints and contract documents
• Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and motivated to learn
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Proficiency in Excel, Word, Outlook, and Bluebeam
• Exposure to Con Est Intellibid is a plus but not required

• $70,000 – $85,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Long‑term stability with a contractor known for repeat business
• Exposure to large, complex commercial and industrial projects
• Collaborative culture that values estimators as strategic partners
• Clear path for growth toward senior estimating roles
