Role Description

We re hiring a talented Low Voltage Estimator
. This is a high-impact role in a growing division where your work directly influences our win rate, profitability, execution, and future growth.

You along with fellow estimators and engineers will own Division 27/28 estimating end-to-end - building competitive bids for new construction and renovations
, working with sales to close deals, creating proposals for new and existing customers
. We are looking for someone who can estimate the full low-voltage scope including CCTV, access control, Audiovisual, Wireless, BMS, and Structured Cabling systems and can engineer/solve scope gaps when needed (RFIs, leveling, alternates, clarifications).

Bluebeam is essential. Experience in access control/security systems is strongly preferred (this is an area we re actively strengthening).

What You ll Do

• Own estimates from intake through submission: scope review, takeoffs, pricing, leveling, and final proposal.
• Perform detailed takeoffs using Bluebeam Revu (drawings/specs, symbol sets, markups, quantities, revisions).
• Support sales on customer pitches and bid reviews adding your professional and technical voice to theirs.
• Build complete Division 27/28 estimates: structured cabling, pathways/support, fiber, racks/cabinets, wireless, CCTV, access control, intrusion (as applicable), and related systems.
• Use simPRO to build accurate estimates, labor, materials, assemblies, and job costing inputs.
• Evaluate plans/specs, identify missing scope, and produce RFIs/clarifications.
• Coordinate pricing with manufacturers, distributors, and subcontractors; negotiate and validate quotes.
• Support and weigh in on competitive bid strategy: alternates, value engineering, exclusions/inclusions, and risk flags.
• Hand off awarded projects cleanly to operations/PM: scope, assumptions, labor plan, and procurement notes.
• Track bid pipeline and follow-ups; assist with forecasting and award probability updates.
• Stay current on technologies and best practices in low-voltage, with a focus on security/access control.

What We re Looking For (Must-Haves)

• 3+ years of experience in low-voltage integration projects, with 2+ years dedicated estimating experience (more is welcome).
• Proven experience in estimating Division 27/28 work for commercial new build and renovation projects.
• Strong Bluebeam Revu skills (takeoffs, markups, measurements, revisions, toolsets).
• Ability to read and interpret construction documents: plans, specs, addenda, schedules, and vendor cutsheets.
• Comfortable producing competitive bids and customer-facing proposals with clean scope language.

• Strong communication and follow-through with internal teams, vendors, and customers.
• Knowledge of residential and commercial low voltage technologies (WiFi, CCTV, access controls, and structured cabling systems), including products from industry leaders, with industry and/or manufacturer training and certifications as a plus.
• Proven track record of estimating numerous large-scale low-voltage / IT projects.

Preferred

• Experience with Access Control & Security Systems (HID/Lenel
  
  S2/Genetec/AMAG/Butterfly/Software House/Axiom/VMS platforms-any is a plus).
• Ability to "light engineer" when needed: device placement logic, system architecture considerations, riser/schematics coordination, and identifying design gaps.
• Experience with simPRO (or similar estimating/ops platform).
• Knowledge of AV, BMS, lighting controls, or DAS (not required).
