We are currently seeking an experienced Transmission Line Estimator with a strong background in overhead transmission construction ranging from 69kV through 765kV to join our growing team. Responsibilities The Transmission Line Estimator is responsible for developing accurate, competitive, and comprehensive cost estimates for overhead transmission line projects ranging from 69kV to 765kV. This role requires extensive knowledge of transmission construction, detailed quantity takeoffs, labor and equipment productivity, material requirements, subcontractor pricing, access and logistics, foundations, structure installation, conductor stringing, and construction sequencing.

Candidates should have strong scheduling experience, with Primavera P6 proficiency strongly preferred, as well as experience with B2W or similar estimating platforms. The position works closely with engineering, procurement, scheduling, and operations personnel throughout the preconstruction and bidding process.

This is an estimating-focused position and does not include project management responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities Prepare detailed labor, equipment, material, subcontractor, and indirect cost estimates for overhead transmission line construction ranging from 69kV to 765kV.Perform detailed quantity takeoffs from engineering drawings, specifications, structure lists, bills of material, geotechnical reports, survey information, and other bid documents.

Develop estimates for transmission construction activities including clearing, access roads, construction matting, foundations, drilled piers, structure assembly and erection, conductor installation, stringing, grounding, OPGW installation, and restoration.

Estimate projects involving a variety of transmission structure types, including wood, steel, concrete, monopole, H-frame, lattice, and other specialized structures.

Analyze construction methods, production rates, crew compositions, equipment requirements, and site conditions to develop accurate labor and equipment pricing.

Evaluate right-of-way conditions, access requirements, terrain, environmental constraints, material laydown areas, logistics, and other site-specific factors affecting project costs.

Develop and support bid schedules using Primavera P6 or other scheduling tools, incorporating construction sequencing, activity durations, crew requirements, and resource loading.

Analyze schedule requirements and construction sequencing to ensure labor, equipment, material, and production assumptions are consistent with the proposed schedule.

Solicit, evaluate, and incorporate vendor and subcontractor quotations into estimates.

Review subcontractor and supplier scopes to identify exclusions, qualifications, scope gaps, and potential cost impacts.

Analyze historical project costs, production data, and field…
