Electrical Estimator

We are seeking a detail-oriented Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) Estimator to support the bidding and evaluation process for industrial construction projects valued up to $25 million. In this role, you will analyze technical documents, perform precise quantity take-offs, and compile comprehensive bid packages. You will collaborate closely with clients, engineers, and operations teams to ensure accurate project execution.

• Estimate projects up to $25M, depending on complexity and scope of self-performance work.
• Read and interpret all bid documents including drawings, scope of work, contract documents, and project-specific specifications.
• Review Request for Information (RFIs) to address questions throughout the bid process.
• Perform detailed quantity take-offs for materials (conduit, wire, instruments) and estimate labor hours for installation; review junior estimator take-offs and enter into estimating software as needed.
• Assign labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractors to task quantities.
• Understand project requirements and assign appropriate indirect costs.
• Assemble comprehensive bid packages including subcontractor quotes, vendor pricing, and project schedule.
• Compile all exceptions and clarifications; generate all submittals called for in the RFQ.
• Conduct risk assessment to identify potential project risks and incorporate contingency costs into the proposal.
• Compile conceptual design budgets based on comparable projects to support client return-on-investment assessment.
• Attend bid review meetings and present information as necessary.
• Upon award, compile all bid information, disseminate into appropriate project folder files, attend project turn-over meetings, and support operations through the pre-construction phase.

• Prior experience as an electrical estimator with specialized knowledge in instrumentation, control systems, and industrial construction.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, the National Electrical Code (NEC), and construction processes.
• Proficiency with electrical estimating software (e.g., Accubid), AutoCAD, Microsoft Excel, MS Project, Navisworks, and Procore.
• Excellent analytical and math skills with strong attention to detail for precise material take-off.
• Understanding of civil, concrete, structural steel, equipment setting, and mechanical construction requirements preferred.
• Ability to coordinate effectively with project managers, engineers, and clients to align on project strategies and design change.

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or Engineering preferred, or equivalent field experience (e.g., journeyman electrician).
• ASPE or AACE International certification preferred.
