Electrical Estimator

Elite Executive Solutions has partnered with a well-established, highly respected electrical contractor in the Dallas–Fort Worth market to identify an experienced Electrical Estimator. This organization has been a leader in commercial electrical construction for decades and is known for its strong negotiated backlog, repeat clients, and disciplined preconstruction approach.

This opportunity is ideal for an estimator who wants to be part of a stable, forward-thinking team where estimating is treated as a strategic function—not a volume-driven bid factory.

The Electrical Estimator will be responsible for developing accurate, competitive estimates for commercial electrical projects, including ground-up construction, tenant improvements, and design-build work. The role works closely with preconstruction, project management, and executive leadership to support successful project delivery and long-term growth.
