Job description

Elite Executive Solutions has partnered with a well-established, highly respected electrical contractor in the Dallas–Fort Worth market to identify an experienced Electrical Estimator. This organization has been a leader in commercial electrical construction for decades and is known for its strong negotiated backlog, repeat clients, and disciplined preconstruction approach.

This opportunity is ideal for an estimator who wants to be part of a stable, forward-thinking team where estimating is treated as a strategic function—not a volume-driven bid factory.

Position Overview

The Electrical Estimator will be responsible for developing accurate, competitive estimates for commercial electrical projects, including ground-up construction, tenant improvements, and design-build work. The role works closely with preconstruction, project management, and executive leadership to support successful project delivery and long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare detailed electrical estimates from conceptual budgets through GMP and final pricing
• Perform complete quantity takeoffs for power, lighting, fire alarm, low-voltage, and related systems
• Review drawings, specifications, and scope documents for accuracy and completeness
• Develop labor, material, and equipment pricing using historical data and current market conditions
• Participate in negotiated work, design-build, and preconstruction services
• Solicit, review, and level vendor and subcontractor pricing
• Identify scope gaps, risk items, and value-engineering opportunities
• Support leadership with bid strategy, project phasing, and risk assessment
• Coordinate with project management and field teams during handoff
• Maintain estimating databases, assemblies, and pricing benchmarks

Project Types

• Commercial ground-up projects
• Tenant improvements and interior build-outs
• Office, retail, mixed-use, and corporate facilities
• Design-build and negotiated commercial work

Qualifications

• 5+ years of electrical estimating experience with a commercial electrical contractor
• Strong knowledge of commercial electrical systems and construction means and methods
• Experience with negotiated and design-build work preferred
• Proficiency with Accubid (Classic/Enterprise/Anywhere), ConEst, or similar estimating software
• Ability to interpret complex construction documents and specifications
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
• Stable work history and interest in long-term career growth

Why This Opportunity

• Decades-established contractor with a strong DFW presence
• Negotiated and repeat-client backlog providing stability and predictability
• Structured estimating processes with strong historical data
• Collaborative culture with direct access to leadership
• Competitive compensation, bonus potential, and comprehensive benefits
• Long-term growth opportunity in the Dallas–Fort Worth market
