Low Voltage Estimator

About the Role

Do you thrive on turning complex project requirements into clear, accurate, and competitive estimates? We’re looking for a detail-oriented Low Voltage Estimator who can bring structure, precision, and insight to the preconstruction process across security, audiovisual, telecom, and integrated systems projects.

• Review drawings, specifications, and RFP documentation to develop a full understanding of project scope, client needs, and system requirements.
• Execute electronic takeoffs using tools such as Bluebeam to quantify materials, labor, and equipment across low voltage scopes.
• Build accurate estimates based on defined scopes of work, bills of materials, labor models, and real-world project conditions.
• Solicit, evaluate, and level quotes from suppliers and subcontractors to ensure complete and competitive pricing coverage.
• Identify risks, inconsistencies, and scope gaps early—ensuring they are addressed through assumptions, clarifications, or pricing adjustments.
• Prepare professional, accurate proposals that clearly outline scope, pricing, assumptions, and exclusions.
• Follow up on active bids, clarify requirements, and maintain strong communication with clients, contractors, and partners.
• Coordinate with estimating leadership and operations to review bids, validate pricing strategies, and ensure alignment prior to submission.
• Participate in post-award kickoff meetings to ensure a smooth transition from estimating to project execution.
• Track pricing trends, maintain estimating tools and databases, and support ongoing improvements to estimating processes and workflows.

• Security Systems:
  Access control, CCTV, intrusion detection
• Audio Visual:
  Conference rooms, digital signage, integrated AV systems
• Telecommunications:
  Structured cabling, fiber optics, network infrastructure
• Specialty Systems:
  Fire alarm, DAS/BDA, and other low voltage systems
• Exposure to civil, utility, and infrastructure scopes (gas, water, electric, HDD) is a plus

• 3+ years of experience in low voltage estimating or related construction environments
• Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications
• Experience building takeoffs, estimates, and proposals across low voltage systems
• Familiarity with subcontractor scope development and vendor coordination
• Strong analytical and mathematical skills
• Excellent organization and attention to detail in a deadline-driven environment
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across teams

• Experience with Bluebeam or similar takeoff/estimating software
• Familiarity with estimating platforms and project tools (e.g., Smartsheet or similar)
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, MS Project, and Teams
• Exposure to MiField or similar field/estimating platforms is a plus
• Formal estimating software training preferred (or willingness to learn)

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Construction Management, or related field preferred (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
• Minimum 3+ years of experience in the low voltage industry
• Experience in project coordination, estimating, or preconstruction roles
• Familiarity with BICSI standards or pursuit of BICSI certifications is a plus

• Primarily office-based with standard sitting, standing, and computer use
• Occasional lifting up to 25 pounds
• Some extended hours may be required during bid deadlines

• Accuracy and completeness of estimates and proposals
• On-time delivery of bid submissions
• Effectiveness of vendor and subcontractor coordination
• Ability to identify and mitigate scope gaps and risks
• Contribution to improved win rates and project profitability

• Play a key role in securing and shaping complex low voltage and infrastructure projects.
• Work closely with operations, leadership, and technical teams to deliver winning outcomes.
• Develop your estimating expertise in a fast-growing, technically driven environment.
• Tackle diverse, complex projects that require both technical and strategic thinking.

If you’re a detail-driven estimator who thrives on building accurate, strategic bids and wants to be part of a team that delivers high-quality infrastructure solutions—we’d love to connect.
