Senior Electrical Estimator​/Preconstruction Lead

The Opportunity

Texas is building data centers faster than anyone can price them. Hyperscale, enterprise, colocation - all electrical-heavy, all fast-track, all fighting for the same limited estimating talent.

TESIM Electric is scaling to meet that pipeline. We hire top of market because we pay top of market. This seat is how we win the work our field team is ready to build.

You are the front door for new work t senior estimator, part client-facing preconstruction lead - the person who can build a defensible number AND sit across the table from a GC's precon team and win the job.

• Full-cycle estimating: conceptual through construction documents on commercial electrical scopes
• Quantity takeoffs, labor unitization, material pricing, sub solicitation, bid assembly
• Executive-level relationships with GC precon teams - the room where the bid list gets set
• Attending bid walks, precon meetings, and pursuit strategy sessions as the face of TESIM
• Value engineering, alternates, and proposals that make GCs want to hire us
• Bid/no-bid discipline - chasing the right work, walking away from the wrong work
• Clean turnover to operations after award - no surprises on day one of construction

You'll own the numbers:

• Qualified pipeline sourced each quarter
• Bids submitted - volume and mix
• Win rate on bids you lead
• Bid vs. actual margin once your work is built
• GC precon and owner-side relationships you activate

Move those numbers and this seat opens the door to VP of Preconstruction.

• 7+ years of commercial or industrial electrical estimating, preconstruction, or GC-facing precon
• Track record pricing complex commercial electrical scopes: data centers, mission-critical, healthcare, industrial, or advanced manufacturing
• Executive presence - comfortable in the room with senior GC and owner leadership
• Fluent with electrical estimating and takeoff software (Accubid, Live Count, Trimble, Con Est, or equivalent) plus Bluebeam
• Sound judgment on margin, risk, capacity, schedule, and whether an opportunity is right for TESIM
• Willingness to be on the road across Texas for bid walks and pursuit meetings

• Existing relationships at target Texas GCs (JE Dunn, DPR, Turner, Rosendin, Bartlett Cocke, Joeris, Zachry, Spaw Glass, Hensel Phelps, Holder, McCarthy)
• Direct data-center or hyperscale mission-critical experience
• Medium voltage, switch gear, generators, UPS, PDU/busway, or gear-room electrical
• Bachelor's in Construction Management, Electrical Engineering, or related
• Field or license background (Journeyman or Master)

• Estimators who want a quiet desk and 40 flat hours a week
• People who need "competitive comp" and DOE - we tell you the number up front
• Anyone who doesn't want their name in the room when the wins get counted

• $57-$100/hr DOE - top of market for Central Texas, because we're building a team that wins the biggest pipeline in the state
• Full health, dental, and vision
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Vehicle/mileage on client and jobsite travel
• No commission - because we don't need to bribe you to want to win

TESIM Electric is a turnkey electrical subcontractor built for Texas' data center and mission-critical pipeline. Turnkey means we own the electrical scope end to end. Built for it means we picked this market intentionally and are hiring the team to lead it.
