  • Analyze project scope, labor requirements, material costs, project risks, and market conditions to develop competitive bids.
  • Collaborate closely with project leadership, engineers, preconstruction teams, subcontractors, and clients throughout the bidding process.
  • Compare supplier pricing and competitor bids while helping justify estimate assumptions and pricing strategies.
  • Prepare professional bid packages and customer proposals while ensuring deadlines are consistently met.
  • Occasionally participate in pre-bid meetings and job site walkthroughs to gain a thorough understanding of project requirements.
  • Manage multiple estimates concurrently while maintaining exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.



Qualifications

  • 5–10 years of estimating experience for an Estimator role or 10+ years for a Senior Estimator position.
  • Experience estimating commercial or industrial construction projects; candidates from electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, pipefitting, or general contracting backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
  • Proficiency using Accubid estimating software and online bid portals.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and bid documents.
  • Experience performing quantity takeoffs, labor calculations, cost analysis, and subcontractor/vendor evaluations.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with the ability to produce accurate estimates under tight deadlines.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with clients, engineers, project managers, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field is preferred but equivalent industry experience will be considered.
  • Experience estimating low-voltage commercial projects is highly desirable, while candidates with strong estimating fundamentals and the ability to learn electrical systems will also be considered.
