Senior Electrical Estimator

This isn't an entry-level "plug numbers into a spreadsheet" role.

At Winward Electric in Ogden, Utah, we're looking for someone who knows electrical construction inside and out... and can turn that knowledge into smart, competitive, win-worthy bids.

Pay: $100,000 - $115,00/annually + bonuses

Schedule: Full-time, Days, On-site

• Company-paid health insurance
• Dental, Vision
• 401k
• Paid Holidays and Paid Time Off

If you've ever looked at a set of plans and immediately started spotting gaps, risks, and opportunities-you're probably our kind of person.

• Own the estimating process from start to finish - plans, specs, scope, all of it
• Break down projects into real costs: labor, materials, equipment, subs
• Lead quantity takeoffs and make sure nothing gets missed (because missed = expensive)
• Work closely with project managers, vendors, and subcontractors to build competitive bids
• Attend site walks and pre-bid meetings to get the real story behind the plans
• Identify value engineering opportunities (save money without cutting corners)
• Submit clean, accurate, on-time proposals-no last-minute chaos
• Help hand projects off smoothly once the job is won

• Fast-paced and deadline-driven - bid days aren't for the faint of heart
• A mix of independent work and constant collaboration
• Lots of problem-solving - plans are rarely perfect, and that's where you come in
• High visibility - your work directly impacts whether the company wins or loses projects

• 6+ years in electrical construction
• 6+ years of estimating experience (commercial/industrial preferred)
• Strong knowledge of electrical systems, codes, and construction practices
• Experience with estimating software like Accubid, Bluebeam, or similar
• Ability to read blueprints like a second language
• A sharp eye for detail and the ability to juggle multiple bids at once
• Solid communication skills - you can talk to engineers, PMs, and vendors without things getting lost in translation
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to job sites as needed.

• You're not just crunching numbers - you're helping win real projects
• A team that knows their stuff and actually works together
• Opportunity to influence strategy, not just follow it
• Stability, growth, and a company that values people who get things done

If you like structure, solving problems, and being the person who sees what others miss you'll thrive here.
If you prefer slow and predictable... this probably isn't your lane.
