[Hiring] Senior Electrical Estimator @Connico

Role Description

As a Senior Electrical Estimator, you will lead complex electrical cost estimating efforts from early conceptual planning through final construction documents. You will use your technical experience and judgment to:

• Develop accurate estimates
• Identify scope gaps and risks
• Reconcile costs
• Help clients make informed decisions, even when project information is limited or evolving

This is a hands-on senior technical role. You will independently develop and review estimates while also helping strengthen Connico's electrical estimating practice through:

• Mentoring
• Quality control
• Knowledge sharing
• Development of repeatable estimating practices

You will work across disciplines and directly with clients, project teams, contractors, designers, and other estimators on complex infrastructure projects.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of full-time, hands-on electrical estimating experience
• A Journeyman Electrician License, Master Electrician License, Electrical Engineering degree, or equivalent combination of electrical knowledge and experience
• An industry-recognized professional certification, license, or advanced credential, such as CCP, CPE, PCSE, CEP, CCE, PE, or another relevant advanced credential
• Proven ability to independently develop high-quality electrical estimates across Levels 1–5 and all stages of design, including conceptual and ROM estimates developed with limited information
• Demonstrated experience leading complex estimating assignments, integrating estimate elements across multiple disciplines, meeting deadlines, maintaining quality, and communicating professionally with clients and project stakeholders
• Strong ability to interpret architectural, civil, electrical, and other engineering drawings and specifications across all levels of design
• Expertise with electrical estimating or takeoff software such as IntelliBid, Accubid, On-Screen Takeoff, MII, MCACES, or comparable systems
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Teams, Outlook, and Word

Requirements

• Lead and independently develop electrical cost estimates across all design stages, from conceptual and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates through final construction documents
• Develop detailed material and labor estimates for electrical systems including Medium Voltage, Low Voltage, Communications, Audio-Visual, Security, Video Surveillance, and Fire Alarm systems
• Research and develop unit pricing, cost assemblies, and supporting assumptions using current market information and sound estimating judgment
• Identify missing information, scope gaps, inconsistencies, interdisciplinary conflicts, and potential cost risks
• Lead estimate reconciliations, technical and quality-control reviews, contractor bid analyses, value engineering assessments, life-cycle and benefit-cost analyses
• Manage multiple complex estimating assignments and priorities while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines
• Mentor and train developing estimators in conceptual estimating, quantity takeoffs, cost buildups, reconciliations, technical reviews, interdisciplinary plan analysis, reporting, and Connico estimating practices
• Take ownership of estimating data, cost assemblies, templates, and reporting practices
• Build strong client relationships and serve as a trusted technical advisor

Benefits

• Salary Range: $140,000–$165,000, depending on experience
• Bonus opportunities
• Minimal travel required, up to 10% (site visits, meetings, conferences)
