The Senior Electrical Estimator is responsible for leading the preparation of accurate, strategic, and competitive electrical estimates for complex mission-critical and data center projects. This role serves as a senior technical resource within preconstruction, overseeing all phases of estimating from conceptual budgeting through final bid submission and project handoff.

This position offers a unique opportunity to not only perform high-level estimating work, but also to help build and shape the company’s Preconstruction function.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the preparation of detailed electrical estimates for mission-critical and data center projects, including material, labor, equipment, subcontracted scopes, and indirect costs.
• Manage the estimating process from conceptual budgeting through final proposal submission.

• Analyze project documents to identify scope gaps, constructability issues, scheduling risks, and cost drivers.
• Develop comprehensive scopes of work for proposals and subcontractor/vendor pricing packages.
• Attend site visits, client meetings, and bid walks to evaluate existing conditions, access constraints, phasing, and logistics.
• Solicit, evaluate, and level vendor and subcontractor proposals; negotiate pricing and scope alignment.
• Coordinate closely with suppliers on pricing, lead times, procurement risks, and alternate solutions.
• Incorporate market trends, labor productivity, escalation, and supply chain conditions into estimates.
• Lead value engineering efforts and develop cost-saving alternatives while maintaining project requirements.
• Prepare executive-level estimate summaries, clarifications, and proposal narratives.
• Facilitate internal bid reviews and present estimate strategy to leadership.
• Lead handoff meetings with project management teams upon award to ensure continuity from preconstruction to execution.
• Mentor and support junior estimators, reviewing work for accuracy and completeness.
• Maintain and enhance historical cost databases, benchmarking tools, and estimating standards.
• Develop and implement scalable estimating processes, templates, and best practices to support future team growth.
• Partner with leadership to build and structure the Preconstruction department, including tools, workflows, and staffing plans.
• Ensure estimates align with construction means, methods, schedule constraints, and field execution strategies.
• Stay current on electrical codes, technologies, materials, labor trends, and mission-critical industry standards.
• Participate in business development activities, including client meetings, industry events, and relationship-building with partners and suppliers.

What You Bring

• Minimum 5-7 years of experience in electrical estimating with an electrical contractor, including significant mission-critical or data center project experience.
