Senior Electrical Estimator

Help Shape Project Wins. Develop People. Influence Growth. WHO WE ARE

We're an established and growing commercial electrical contractor in North Carolina with a reputation for taking on challenging projects and delivering results. Our Preconstruction team plays a critical role in that success. We don't view estimating as simply producing a number—we view it as understanding the project, identifying risk, developing strategy, building client confidence, and positioning our Operations teams to execute successfully.

We believe in working smarter, continuously improving our processes, and adopting technology where it creates a meaningful advantage. Our culture values honesty, curiosity, creativity, accountability, and an entrepreneurial mindset. We're looking for an experienced Senior Electrical Estimator who wants more than a traditional estimating role.
