The posting

The Design Engineer will support preconstruction efforts by developing accurate, strategic estimates across low voltage systems including structured cabling, AV, security, sound masking, and public safety DAS/BDA.

This role blends estimating, technical design coordination, and vendor engagement. You will interpret complex plans, perform detailed take-offs, build competitive proposals, and collaborate with project management and engineering teams to ensure scope alignment and smooth handoff into execution.

This is primarily an office-based role in Raleigh, NC with occasional site visits and vendor meetings.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review Division 27 and 28 drawings, specifications, bid manuals, and subcontractor requirements
  • Perform detailed take-offs using Bluebeam Revu and estimating platforms
  • Develop accurate labor models, BOMs, and material pricing based on real-world field conditions
  • Build complete, competitive bid packages including assumptions, exclusions, and value engineering options
  • Coordinate with vendors and subcontractors to validate scope and pricing
  • Respond to RFIs, ASIs, and addenda while maintaining internal scope alignment
  • Support device layout and pathway coordination using AutoCAD and Revit
  • Follow up on open proposals and maintain relationships with GCs, electrical contractors, architects, and owner representatives
  • Participate in preconstruction and kickoff meetings to ensure proper project handoff
  • Track pricing trends and contribute to continuous estimating process improvement

Required Qualifications

  • 5–10 years of experience in low voltage estimating, field design, or related technical role
  • Strong background in structured cabling, AV, security, telecom, and low voltage systems
  • Proven ability to interpret construction drawings and bid documents
  • Experience estimating systems including:
  • Structured cabling (Cat6, Cat6A, OM3/OM4 fiber, single-mode, IDF/MDF buildouts)
  • AV systems (conference rooms, digital signage, paging, DSP systems)
  • Security systems (IP CCTV, access control, electrified hardware)
  • Sound masking deployments
  • Public Safety DAS/BDA and emergency responder systems
  • Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu and Excel
  • Experience with estimating software such as Accubid, Esticom, or similar platforms
  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD and Revit for device placement and pathway coordination
  • RCDD certification preferred; BICSI experience a plus
  • High school diploma required; degree in construction, engineering, or related field preferred
  • Strong communication, organization, and time management skills

Benefits and Compensation

  • Base salary: $110,000 – $125,000
  • Performance incentives
  • Full benefits package including medical, dental, and vision
  • Retirement plan options
  • Paid time off and company holidays

Why Work With Us

  • Work alongside experienced PMs, engineers, and field leaders
  • Influence project success before the first cable is pulled
  • Be part of a team that values precision, collaboration, and technical excellence
  • Engage in challenging, diverse projects across commercial and mission-critical environments
  • Gain exposure to complex systems and high-profile clients in a growing market

If you are a systems-driven estimator who enjoys owning the numbers, coordinating across teams, and helping win meaningful work, this role offers strong compensation, long-term stability, and the opportunity to make a measurable impact.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
