• 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.
• Proven ability to lead estimates for large, complex, or fast-track projects.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring others or contributing to team development.
