  • Collaborate with construction managers, engineers, and field electricians to validate constructability and execution approach
  • Coordinate with manufacturers and vendors to confirm product specifications and pricing
  • Engage with inspectors and regulatory authorities to ensure permitting and compliance
  • Specify and source electrical materials (wire, conduit, fittings, control systems, etc.)
  • Manage vendor quotes, material procurement strategies, and delivery planning
  • Support project teams with schedule alignment, labor planning, and cost tracking
  • Ensure estimates reflect realistic installation methods and field constraints
  • Apply and uphold standards across: NEC / NFPA 70 and OSHA (29 CFR 1926)
  • Incorporate safety considerations such as LOTO, arc flash, and site-specific requirements into estimates
  • Identify opportunities to improve cost efficiency, estimating accuracy, and standardization
  • Maintain organized documentation of estimates, assumptions, and revisions

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of electrical field construction experience
  • 3+ years of electrical estimating experience
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of power distribution, instrumentation and control wiring
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and electrical schematics, P&IDs, and multi-view and isometric drawings
  • Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70, and OSHA standards
  • Experience with estimating tools and Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD or SolidWorks is a plus
  • Strong organizational and multitasking abilities
  • High attention to detail and analytical thinking
  • Ability to balance office-based estimating with field validation
  • Collaborative mindset with strong communication skills

Additionally

  • Valid driver’s license
  • Willingness to travel locally for site visits

Work Environment

  • Primarily office-based with regular field visits to construction and industrial sites
  • Exposure to active job sites, industrial facilities, and client environments
