  • Evaluate vendor and subcontractor quotes and incorporate them into overall project estimates.
  • Maintain and update estimating tools, templates, and historical cost databases.

  • Support bid preparation and proposal development efforts with cost and schedule inputs.
  • Participate in risk assessments and contingency planning based on project complexities.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
  • Minimum 3–5 years of experience in electrical estimating, preferably within power distribution, utilities, or infrastructure projects.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel (advanced functions, pivot tables, cost modeling) and Microsoft Project (scheduling, resource loading).
  • Solid understanding of electrical systems, codes, and standards (e.g., NEC, IEEE, NFPA).
  • Ability to interpret technical drawings, specs, and project documents.
  • Experience working with design teams, EPC contractors, or field teams is a plus.
  • Strong attention to detail, analytical mindset, and problem-solving skills.
