Job description

We’re partnering with a well-established company with 70+ years of experience supporting commercial, industrial, and utility projects throughout the region. Due to continued growth, they are looking to add a Mid-Level Electrical Estimator to support an active and expanding pipeline. This is a strong opportunity for an estimator who knows the electrical trade, values accuracy and accountability, and is looking for long-term stability with a respected contractor (not a revolving-door environment).

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prepare detailed and competitive electrical estimates across plan/spec, design-build, and service work
• Perform take-offs for power distribution, lighting, low voltage, fire alarm, and controls
• Review drawings, specifications, and bid documents for scope, risk, and constructability
• Solicit and analyze vendor and subcontractor pricing
• Develop bid proposals, alternates, and value engineering options
• Attend job walks and pre-bid meetings as needed
• Collaborate closely with senior estimators, project managers, and engineering teams
• Support smooth handoff from estimating to project execution
• Track historical cost data to support future bids

What They’re Looking For

• 8+ years of electrical estimating experience (commercial / industrial / institutional)
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, codes, and installation methods
• Hands-on experience with Accubid, Trimble, ConEst, or similar estimating software
• Detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable managing multiple bids simultaneously
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Stable work history preferred — career progression and reasonable moves are welcomed
• Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required (experience matters most)

Logistics & Benefits

• 100% onsite role in NJ (with site visits as needed)
• Early start schedule (7:00–7:30am; flexibility to 8:00am)
• Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, life insurance
• 2 weeks PTO + holidays
• Ongoing training and career development
• Background check required
