Electrical Estimator (eg)
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Job Title: Electrical Estimator (but we don't output heading for title). Company: Loenbro, LLC etc. Business Unit/Department: Loenbro Southeast. Location: many cities. Reports to: Chief Estimator. Employment Type: Full-Time FLSA Classification: Exempt.
We need to decide sections.
We have "About Loenbro" paragraph describing company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Loenbro" is about company. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" maybe summarizing role description. But we have "About Loenbro" which is about company. Could we treat that as "About the role"? Probably better to have "About the role" containing description of role responsibilities? However we also have a separate "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" list. So "About the role" could be a brief overview: The Commercial Electrical Estimator is responsible for preparing accurate and competitive cost estimates... That paragraph appears after About Loenbro. So we can put that in "About the role". Then "Responsibilities" for the list of duties. Then "Qualifications" for required and preferred? The posting has "Qualifications Required" and "Preferred". Also "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities". Also "Physical Requirements", "Working Conditions". Also "Benefits". No explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections because not stated.
We need to decide which headings to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Possibly also "Physical Requirements" and "Working Conditions" but those are not in the allowed list; we could maybe fold them into Qualifications or Skills? The instruction says use those headings only; we should not create other headings. So we need to fit content into allowed headings. Could put physical requirements and working conditions under "Qualifications" or "Skills"? Probably under "Qualifications" as they are requirements. But we have separate "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities". That could go under "Skills". So we can map:
- About the role: overview paragraph (The Commercial Electrical Estimator is responsible...).
- Responsibilities: list of essential duties.
- Qualifications: required qualifications (high school diploma, 3+ years experience, ability to read drawings, knowledge of commercial electrical systems, proficiency with MS Office, strong analytical, math, organizational skills, excellent communication). Also maybe include preferred qualifications? Could include them as part of Qualifications but maybe better to keep them under Qualifications as well (including preferred). Or we could separate but only allowed headings; we could put preferred under Qualifications as well.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities list.
- Benefits: benefits list.
We also have location, reports to, employment type, FLSA classification. That's metadata; we could fold into a short
maybe under About the role or at top. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with location, reports to, employment type, FLSA classification. Probably after the heading? But we need to output only HTML fragment; we can start with a
containing that metadata, then headings. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, etc. The posting includes "Guided By Core Values (LEAD)..." and "If You Are Ready To Be Part Of a Company That LEADS..." and "Loenbro is an Equal Opportunity Employer". Those are boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "Benefits eligibility may vary based on employment classification and hours worked." That's part of benefits; we can keep. Now let's extract content. About Loenbro paragraph: "Loenbro is a trusted, long-term construction lifecycle partner to thousands of customers across the U.S. Our market spans all industries, and our service offerings include Critical Electrical, Mechanical & Structural, Soft Crafts, Inspection, Underground Maintenance and Installation, and Fabrication. Our expertise lies in simplifying the complex and establishing long-standing relationships with our partners.

At Loenbro, we don’t just offer jobs—we build careers grounded in integrity, teamwork, excellence, and purpose. Join a team where your expertise is valued, your growth is supported, and your work helps maintain and enhance the critical infrastructure that powers communities across the nation." That's about company; could be part of About the role? Might be okay to include as company overview under About the role. Then the role overview: "The Commercial Electrical Estimator is responsible for preparing accurate and competitive cost estimates for commercial electrical construction projects. This role analyzes project plans, specifications, labor requirements, material costs, subcontractor pricing, and project schedules to develop comprehensive bid proposals. The estimator works closely with project managers, operations teams, vendors, subcontractors, and clients throughout the bidding and preconstruction process." We can combine both into About the role. Now Responsibilities list: bullet points: - Review project drawings, specifications, contracts, and bid documents. - Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for electrical systems and components. - Develop accurate labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor cost estimates. - Solicit and evaluate vendor and subcontractor quotations. - Prepare complete bid proposals and supporting documentation. - Analyze project risks, opportunities, and scope gaps. - Participate in pre-bid meetings, site visits, and project walkthroughs. - Coordinate with project managers and field leadership during project handoff. - Maintain estimating databases, labor units, and historical cost information. - Review change order requests and prepare cost impacts as required. - Ensure estimates comply with NEC requirements, local codes, and customer specifications. - Identify value engineering opportunities to improve project competitiveness. - Support contract negotiations and clarification meetings with clients. - Track bid results and maintain relationships with customers, vendors, and subcontractors. Now Qualifications Required: - High school diploma or GED. - 3+ years of commercial electrical estimating experience. - Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications. - Knowledge of commercial electrical systems, methods, and materials. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite. - Strong analytical, mathematical, and organizational skills. - Excellent written and verbal communication abilities. Preferred: - Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field. - Experience with estimating software such as Accubid, ConEst, McCormick, Bluebeam, or Trimble. - Field electrical construction experience. - Journeyman or Master Electrician license. - Experience estimating large commercial, healthcare, education, industrial, or data center projects. Now Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: - Strong understanding of electrical construction practices and installation methods. - Ability to prioritize multiple bids and meet tight deadlines. - Effective negotiation and vendor management skills. - Strong attention to detail and accuracy. - Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment. - Knowledge of construction scheduling and project management principles. - Understanding of NEC, OSHA, and applicable building codes. Physical Requirements: - Prolonged periods of sitting and computer work. - Ability to travel to project sites, customer meetings, and pre-bid conferences. - Ability to review construction sites and navigate active job locations. Working Conditions: - Office environment with occasional field visits. - Regular interaction with clients, vendors, subcontractors, and project teams. - May require occasional overtime to meet bid deadlines. - This role requires compliance with all applicable safety regulations, personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, and Loenbro's Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) policies. We could incorporate Physical Requirements and Working Conditions into Qualifications or Skills? Probably Qualifications (as they are requirements). But we already have Qualifications section; we could add a sublist? But we must use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have multiple lists under same heading.
Thus under Qualifications we could have required, preferred, physical requirements, working conditions all as lists. But that may be messy. Perhaps better to keep Qualifications for required and preferred, and Skills for knowledge, skills & abilities, and maybe add another heading? Not allowed. Could we put physical requirements and working conditions under Qualifications as separate lists with headings? Not allowed to create new headings. Could we embed them as
paragraphs? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So physical requirements and working conditions are lists; they should be
- . So we need to place them somewhere under allowed headings. Could we add them under Qualifications as separate
- groups with a preceding
describing? That's okay. Similarly Benefits list. Now metadata: Location, Reports to, Employment Type, FLSA Classification. We'll put in a short
at start. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Guided By Core Values..." etc. Now produce HTML. Structure:
Location: Franklin, TN; Atlanta, GA; Charlotte, NC; Columbia, SC; Richmond, VA; Jackson, MS; Jacksonville, FL; Orlando, FL; Louisville, KY; Knoxville, TN; Birmingham, AL; Memphis, TN. Reports to: Chief Estimator. Employment Type: Full-Time. FLSA Classification: Exempt.
