Overview

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Estimator to provide remote estimating support for a growing U.S.-based electrical contracting company. The company specializes in commercial electrical projects, emergency service work, and preventative maintenance.

This role will support the company's founding partners by managing electrical estimating responsibilities, preparing accurate bid packages, and coordinating with field service managers to ensure project scopes are properly priced.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with both blueprint-based electrical estimating and service or design-build estimating. This includes performing complete quantity takeoffs from construction drawings and preparing estimates from field scope notes when formal blueprints are unavailable.

This position requires strong proficiency in AccuBid, excellent communication skills, and the ability to independently manage multiple estimates and submission deadlines. The successful candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, taking ownership of assigned work, and communicating directly with U.S.-based stakeholders.

The role starts at 20 hours per week, with potential for additional hours as estimating volume increases.

Key Responsibilities

• Review electrical construction drawings and specifications to perform complete quantity takeoffs.

• Develop detailed material and labor cost estimates for commercial electrical projects.

• Identify discrepancies, missing information, or potential pricing concerns before finalizing estimates.

Service & Design-Build Estimating

• Prepare electrical estimates for service, repair, upgrade, and emergency electrical projects.

• Review scope-of-work notes provided by field service managers following job-site walkthroughs.

• Translate field scope notes into accurate material and labor estimates, even when formal blueprints are unavailable.

• Coordinate with field personnel to clarify project requirements and confirm scope details.

• Ensure estimates accurately reflect actual site conditions and project requirements.

• Support timely pricing for urgent service requests and changing project priorities.

Estimating Workflow & Bid Management

• Manage multiple active estimating assignments and track bid submission deadlines.

• Maintain organized records of submitted bids, awarded projects, and pending decisions.

• Coordinate with the founding partners to prioritize estimating opportunities based on scope and timeline.

• Monitor outstanding estimates and proactively communicate progress or potential delays.

• Ensure estimating deliverables are completed accurately and within agreed timelines.

Systems & Software

• Build and price electrical estimates using AccuBid estimating software.

• Use BuildOps to support emergency service tracking and estimating handoffs.

• Maintain accurate estimating records, project documentation, and digital files.

• Adapt to evolving estimating workflows and operational systems as the company grows.

Communication & Operational Support

• Work closely with the founding partners and field service managers to support estimating operations.

• Communicate clearly and professionally regarding project scopes, pricing, and bid requirements.

• Participate in client-facing bid or scope review calls when required.

• Assist with bid correspondence and client-facing estimating documentation.

• Proactively flag incomplete scope information, pricing concerns, or potential submission delays.

• Take ownership of assigned estimating responsibilities without requiring constant supervision.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on electrical estimating experience.
