Job description

Electrical Estimator & Business Development Lead

A well-established union electrical contracting division backed by a major MEP organization is looking for a business-minded leader to drive the next phase of expansion in Greater Boston. With full mechanical, plumbing, and operational infrastructure already in place, the foundation is solid; now we need a builder who can take the reins and scale the business.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role within a smaller, agile division that has the resources of a much larger parent company. The groundwork is set. The right person will help increase volume, grow client relationships, and position the electrical group as a market leader.

What You’ll Do

• Lead business development, estimating, and client relationship initiatives
• Pursue and secure new work — fit-outs, controls, power installations, and service-level projects
• Collaborate with mechanical and plumbing teams on integrated MEP opportunities
• Oversee jobs from bid through completion, ensuring profitability and quality
• Represent the company at industry events, walkthroughs, and pre-bid meetings

What You Bring

• 8–15+ years of experience in commercial electrical estimating, business development, or operations
• Strong knowledge of the Boston electrical market and Local 103 environment
• Established relationships with GCs, CMs, and facilities managers
• Proven ability to grow revenue and develop long-term customer relationships
• Entrepreneurial mindset with leadership drive and ownership mentality

Why This Role Stands Out

This is an opportunity to lead growth at the perfect time — with financial backing, field support, and a strong reputation already in place. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the direction of the division, build your own book of business, and play a key role in scaling a company that’s ready to make a major push in the Boston market.
