• Attend occasional mandatory site walkthroughs and pre-bid inspections as required

Requirements

• 5–10+ years of electrical estimating experience with 10+ years strongly preferred for senior-level candidates
• Strong electrical construction knowledge with a thorough understanding of labor units, material pricing, construction methods, and estimating fundamentals
• Proven ability to independently prepare complete electrical estimates and bid packages with minimal supervision
• Experience with public works, municipal, government, or prevailing wage projects strongly preferred

• Proficiency with Bluebeam for plan review, quantity takeoffs, and counting
• Strong attention to detail, reliability, professional communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with a team while independently owning projects

• Medical coverage provided through Mass General Brigham
• 2 weeks of PTO to start + 6 sick days annually
• Employer-sponsored retirement plan
