Data centers are growing—and the systems that connect, protect, and support them have never been more important.

As an Electrical Estimator II at Interstates, you’ll help bring complex data center telecom and fiber projects to life. You’ll turn drawings, specifications, and project goals into clear, competitive estimates that help clients make informed decisions and give project teams a strong foundation for successful execution.

This role is about more than counting materials. You’ll help shape project strategy, identify risks early, collaborate with partners, and influence how work is planned before it reaches the field. You’ll work alongside clients, vendors, engineers, project managers, estimators, and construction teams from the earliest stages of a bid through project handoff.

If you’re an experienced estimator—or a construction professional ready to grow into a more strategic estimating role—this is an opportunity to build specialized expertise in a growing market while working with a team that values your ideas and judgment.
