Coordinate with estimating team members across MEP trades to ensure complete and coordinated system pricing.
Identify value engineering opportunities, constructability improvements, and cost-saving alternatives.

The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in electrical estimating and electrical scope development across all phases of design-from conceptual budgeting through GMP and bid execution.
/ Essential Functions Prepare accurate and detailed cost estimates for a variety of projects, at varying levels of design including conceptual estimates, SD/DD/CD estimates, bid proposals, and Guaranteed Maximum Prices (GMPs).
Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure estimates align with project goals and budgets.
Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry costs, material pricing, and labor rates.
Prepare detailed and accurate electrical cost estimates across all phases of design, including conceptual, SD, DD, CD, bid, and GMP deliverables.
Develop and manage electrical scope narratives, assumptions, qualifications, and exclusions to support estimates and risk mitigation.
Perform quantity takeoffs and pricing for major electrical components including switchgear, feeders, branch distribution, equipment connections, lighting, and low voltage systems.
Evaluate subcontractor proposals, conduct bid leveling, and support procurement strategy for electrical trades.
Review design documents to identify scope gaps, inconsistencies, and cost/schedule impacts.
