Electrical Estimator

A privately owned union electrical contractor in the NYC metro area is adding an Electrical Estimator to a tight, senior-led estimating team. Most of its work is mission critical data centers and hospitals, with commercial, industrial, and traffic projects alongside, and bids run from small service jobs to nine-figure data centers. Large bids are built as a team, with each estimator taking assigned systems that roll into one number, and specs are read line by line. This is a fully on-site role, Monday through Friday. For a detail-driven estimator, it offers bigger projects, a close-knit team, and room to move up as the company keeps growing.Anticipated $130K-$150K, based on experienceBenefits include: Employer-paid Health (employee and family), Dental, Vision, 401K w/ match, PTO, holidaysYear-end profit-sharing bonus, discretionaryMonday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, on-siteOverview:Own the electrical bid from plan review to submission on mission critical, healthcare, commercial, and industrial projects.Take off quantities and price labor, material, and equipment so the bid wins work and still makes money.Solicit, level, and compare vendor and subcontractor quotes, and tell project management where the risk sits.Work large bids as part of a team, taking assigned systems and merging them into one clean estimate.Catch spec and addenda issues before bid day, including redundancy scope and active-facility requirements in hospitals.Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits.Support conceptual budgets, design-build proposals, and change order pricing.Keep historical pricing and labor productivity data current so the next bid is sharper than the last.Preferred skills and experience:Associate degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field (preferred, not required)Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to project sitesStrongly Preferred - Electrical estimating experience at an electrical contractor, ideally 5 or more yearsStrongly Preferred - Mission critical, data center, or healthcare estimating experienceHands-on takeoff and pricing in estimating software such as Accubid, McCormick, or ConestBluebeam Revu for document review and quantity takeoffExperience with digital takeoff and estimating platformsCommercial, industrial fit-out, laboratory or pharmaceutical, and traffic signal or streetscape estimating experienceExperience on complex, fast-track, and multi-phase projectsFamiliarity with the New Jersey and New York markets, labor conditions, and permittingField experience as an electrician, foreman, project engineer, or superintendent is a plusProficient in Excel and WordKeywords: electrical estimator, senior electrical estimator, electrical estimating, preconstruction, takeoff, quantity takeoff, bid preparation, Accubid, McCormick, Conest, Bluebeam, Bluebeam Revu, mission critical, data center, healthcare construction, hospital, commercial electrical, industrial electrical, electrical contractor, IBEW, design-build, change order pricing, subcontractor leveling, vendor quotes, labor productivity, value engineering, Northern NJ, New Jersey, NYC metroEEO
