Estimator Semiconductor

The Estimator I supports the estimating function by performing quantity takeoffs and helping build cost estimates for electrical construction projects. This role is focused on learning how electrical work is installed, how labor is built, and how scopes are translated into pricing.

The Estimator I supports the estimating function by performing quantity takeoffs and helping build cost estimates for electrical construction projects. This role is focused on learning how electrical work is installed, how labor is built, and how scopes are translated into pricing.

This position primarily supports small & medium projects, while contributing to portions of larger commercial and data center bids. The Estimator I works closely with the chief and senior estimators to understand real-world installation methods and develop accurate takeoffs and pricing.

• Perform specification and project manual review
• Perform quantity takes for systems as assigned
• Build material lists in the bill of material format
• Provide vendors with the bills of material to obtain material pricing and availability
• Solicit subcontractor quotes for basic scopes (e.g., trenching, core drilling, low-voltage support)
• Assist in developing labor estimates using standard labor units
• Assist in preparing proposals and scope summaries
• Support estimating team during bid day by updating pricing and organizing bid documents
• Maintain cost databases, vendor contacts, and historical pricing information
• Participate in jobsite visits to observe installation methods and verify quantities
• Participate in project reviews
• Look for ways to improve yourself and the processes used
• Maintain department confidentiality
• Any additional responsibilities as assigned

• Foundational knowledge of electrical construction and service operations, including basic understanding of power distribution, lighting systems, and low-voltage/data infrastructure commonly used in commercial and mission critical environments
• Developing ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, specifications, panel schedules, and basic one-line diagrams, with the ability to identify major components and quantities
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to perform accurate quantity takeoffs for conduit, wire, devices, fixtures, and equipment based on drawings and specifications
• Basic understanding of electrical materials, installation methods, and construction sequencing, including how work is installed in the field and how that impacts labor and cost
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and shifting priorities in a deadline-driven environment, including balancing structured bid work with urgent service-related pricing requests
• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Excel for material tracking, quantity summaries, and simple cost calculations, along with working knowledge of estimating and takeoff tools such as Bluebeam and Accubid
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively with estimators, project managers, service coordinators, field technicians, vendors, and subcontractors
• Ability to ask questions, seek clarification, and translate field input (photos, service tickets, and verbal scope descriptions) into usable estimating information
• Willingness and ability to learn field operations, including exposure to service work (troubleshooting, T&M jobs) and commercial installations, to better understand real-world constructability
• Basic understanding of jobsite safety expectations and ability to follow safety requirements when visiting active construction sites in alignment with Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to maintain accurate records, cost data, vendor information, and estimating documentation

• No direct supervisory responsibilities
• Works under direction of estimator II, senior estimators and chief estimator

• Works under direct supervision in a structured team environment with defined tasks and guidance
• Limited client interaction; primarily internal coordination and vendor communication
• Jobsite exposure…
