• Develop competitive bid proposals that support company growth and profitability.
• Identify project risks, exclusions, clarifications, and value-engineering opportunities.
• Attend pre-bid meetings, jobsite walks, scope reviews, and customer meetings as needed.
• Build and maintain relationships with general contractors, developers, property owners, vendors, and industry partners.
• Follow up on submitted proposals and assist with negotiations and project awards.
• Coordinate with management, project managers, field personnel, vendors, and customers.
• Maintain organized estimating files, bid records, cost databases, and historical pricing information.
• Support the transition of awarded projects from estimating to project management and field operations.
• Monitor material pricing, labor rates, electrical codes, and commercial construction trends.
• Help develop estimating systems, procedures, and strategies that support long-term company growth.
• Represent the company professionally at customer meetings, industry events, and project locations.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a growth mindset and is motivated to build a long-term career.
• Thinks like an owner and takes personal responsibility for results.
• Is driven by performance, professional advancement, and uncapped earning potential.
• Is proactive in developing relationships and identifying new business opportunities.
• Wants to help build and expand a commercial electrical operation.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, competitive, and results-oriented environment.
• Understands the importance of winning work while protecting project profitability.
• Is committed to continuous learning and professional improvement.
• Communicates clearly, follows through on commitments, and works well with others.
• Wants the opportunity to advance into senior estimating, management, or leadership roles.

• Strong knowledge of commercial electrical systems, materials, installation methods, and labor requirements.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, one-line diagrams, schedules, and construction documents.
• Ability to perform electrical takeoffs and prepare complete project estimates.
• Knowledge of the National Electrical Code and applicable construction standards.
• Proficiency with estimating and takeoff software such as Accubid, Con Est, Bluebeam, or similar platforms is preferred but not required.
• Strong mathematical, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
