• Prepare accurate estimates, bids, and proposals for commercial tenant improvement and landlord improvement projects.
• Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and project requirements.
• Identify project risks, gaps, and potential cost issues early and communicate them effectively.
• Work closely with customers, project managers, field teams, and senior leadership.
• Develop and improve estimating processes, tools, databases, and workflows.
• Evaluate and implement estimating software, technology, and AI tools to improve accuracy and efficiency.
• Track projects through completion and compare estimated costs against actual project performance.
• Use historical project data to improve future estimates and project outcomes.
• Help establish estimating best practices and improve team performance.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to less-experienced team members.
• Collaborate closely with project management and field operations to ensure alignment from estimate through completion.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in commercial electrical construction.
• Strong experience with commercial tenant improvement projects.
• Proven experience estimating commercial electrical projects.
• Strong understanding of electrical drawings, specifications, materials, labor, and project costs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong customer-facing and relationship-building abilities.
• Ability to identify risks and communicate them proactively.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with estimating software and related technology.
• Interest in using technology, automation, and AI to improve estimating processes.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of processes and outcomes.
• Leadership mindset with the ability to mentor and develop others.
