• Analyze detailed drawings and specs; identify and price value-engineered alternatives
• Perform budget pricing from schematic drawings; draft scope letters, proposals, and vendor solicitations
• Lead the estimating department — mentor junior staff, maintain estimating databases, and build client/vendor relationships
• Attend job walks, pre-bid meetings, and design-phase collaborations with clients and design professionals
• Execute clean handoffs from estimating to operations with thorough scope-of-work documentation
• Support change-order pricing and cost-to-complete estimates on active projects

• 10+ years of electrical estimating experience projects up to $100M
• Proficiency with AccuBid, McCormick, and/or ConEst; strong MS Office Suite skills
• Working knowledge of NEC code requirements and core electrical engineering calculations
• BS in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field — or equivalent professional experience

• Collaborative leadership style — comfortable working across estimating, ops, and field teams
