Job description

Electrical Estimator

Build the Work that Builds Kansas City.

Some estimators simply price the plans. The great ones see what others miss. They catch the scope gap. They know when a number doesn't make sense. They understand the market, recognize the right opportunities, and can put together a bid that is competitive andprofitable.

That's who we're looking for.

Teague Electric is looking for an experienced Commercial Electrical Estimator to help drive the continued growth of our Commercial Division throughout the Kansas City market.

For more than 45 years, we've built our reputation on quality work, strong relationships, and doing business the right way. Now we're looking for an estimator who wants to help us build what's next.

This isn't a Project Manager position disguised as an estimating job. Your focus is estimating, pursuing the right opportunities, and helping Teague win profitable commercial work.

What's In It for You?

$80,000–$100,000 Base + Commission & Bonus Opportunities

Your experience matters—and so does your ability to help us win.

We offer:

• $80,000–$100,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Commission and bonus opportunities in addition to base salary
• 401(k) with company match
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid and voluntary life insurance
• Short- and long-term disability coverage
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Employee Assistance Program
• Additional voluntary benefits

What You'll Own

You'll play a key role in deciding what we chase, how we price it, and how we win it.

You'll:

• Develop accurate and competitive electrical estimates with a standardized BOQ schema and cost calculation formula to organize material, labor, and unit cost data for scope tracking and alignment with estimating principles.
• Implement structured-phased workflow converting construction drawings into quantified Bill of Quantities (BOQ).
• Identify project risks, scope gaps, and value-engineering opportunities during the preconstruction process.
• Solicit and evaluate vendor and subcontractor pricing to ensure complete project coverage.
• Collaborate with operations and commercial leadership to develop winning bid strategies.
• Manage multiple bid opportunities while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.
• Build strong relationships with customers, contractors, vendors, and industry partners.
• Stay informed on market conditions, pricing trends, and construction activity throughout the Kansas City region.
• Deliver complete and organized project handoffs to project management teams upon award.

We're Looking for More Than Someone Who Can Do Takeoffs

Software can count fixtures.

We need someone who can think.

Someone who understands commercial electrical construction well enough to look at a set of plans and know where to dig deeper. Someone who understands that the lowest number isn't always the best number—and that winning the wrong job isn't winning.

You may be a great fit if you have:

• Proven commercial electrical estimating experience
• Strong knowledge of electrical systems, materials, and construction methods
• The ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and contract documents
• Experience developing estimates from takeoff through final proposal
• Knowledge of labor units, material pricing, and commercial electrical construction costs
• Strong attention to detail and a healthy respect for deadlines
• The ability to manage multiple bids at once
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Working knowledge of the National Electrical Code
• Experience with electrical estimating software

Knowledge of the Kansas City commercial construction market and established industry relationships are a definite plus.

What Winning Looks Like at Teague

Success isn't measured by how many bids you push out the door.

It's measured by the quality of the opportunities we pursue, the accuracy of the estimates we produce, and the profitable work we put on the board.

When Teague wins a project, our Project Managers and field teams should be able to look at your estimate and know they have a solid foundation to execute from.

That's the standard.

Ready for Something Bigger?

Teague Electric has been part of the Kansas City electrical industry for more than four decades—but we're not interested in standing still.

We're investing in our people, strengthening our Commercial Division, and pursuing bigger opportunities.

We're looking for an estimator who wants to be part of that growth—not someone who just wants another desk and another stack of plans.

If you know commercial electrical estimating, know how to compete, and get some satisfaction out of seeing your number turn into a project—we should talk.

Bring us your experience. Bring us your competitive edge. Let's build something worth winning.
