  • Help prepare bid proposals, pricing summaries, and supporting estimating documentation.
  • Coordinate with project managers, general contractors, vendors, and internal teams to gather project information.
  • Maintain organized and accurate records of estimates, supplier quotes, and bid documents.
  • Support senior estimators with bid reviews, project handoffs, and post-bid analysis.
  • Learn and utilize electrical estimating software and industry tools.
  • Meet bid deadlines while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
