  • Ensure accurate 3rd party quotes for rentals, materials, and all other required project deliverables.
  • Procure Long lead materials and coordinate with suppliers for electrical and instrumentation projects.
  • Generate project budgets, assist with estimating of major change orders.
  • Review specifications and drawings to determine full scope, material requirements, and costs.
  • Examine and analyze estimate packages for accuracy and completeness.
  • Prepare bid packages, conceptual estimates, and analyze subcontractor bids.
  • Develop and implement cost recovery strategies.
  • Maintain detailed files of working documents and ensure up-to-date supplier pricing, price lists, unit rates, and quantity estimates.
  • Collaborate with project managers, superintendents, and clients to align on scope, budget, and execution.
  • Host internal bid reviews and ensure a smooth transfer of all relevant project information to project managers.
  • Implement AccuBid or another estimating software for detailed electrical estimating and ERP for proposal tracking and reporting.

What You Bring

  • Minimum 5 years of estimating experience in electrical projects
  • Must have a current Journeyman Electrician Ticket or electrical engineering technologist.
  • Strong understanding of Electrical & instrumentation drawings, P&IDs, strong experience estimating E&I construction, experience estimating commissioning & startup.
  • Strong proficiency with AccuBid (major asset) and familiarity with ERP systems (Acumatica preferred).
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, isometrics, and design drawings.
  • Proven success building budgets, managing MOCs, and handling change orders.
  • Sharp attention to detail with a process-driven mindset.
  • Collaborative approach with PMs, superintendents, and clients.

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Be recognized as the electrical estimating expert who sets the foundation for project success.
  • Step into a role with strong systems, tools, and processes already in place.
  • Work independently and take ownership — no micromanagement.
  • Competitive pay that rewards precision and performance.
  • Join a company that invests in its people, rewards excellence, and is known for specialists in startup, testing, and quality assurance on North America's most demanding projects.
