Walnut Creek, California
Some people price work. Others shape the future of the company.
We’re looking for an Electrical Estimator who understands the difference.
This role isn’t about cranking out takeoffs or copying old numbers. It’s about owning the pursuit — building accurate, strategic, and competitive estimates that position the team to win the right work, not just any work. You’ll partner closely with leadership, project managers, and field teams to ensure every bid reflects how the job will actually be built.
Electrical scopes here range from fast-paced tenant improvements to large, complex ground-up projects. Success comes from someone who sees the entire board: design intent, constructability, labor strategy, risk, and client expectations.
What You’ll Be Trusted With- Preparing detailed electrical estimates for design-build, design-assist, and hard-bid projects
- Performing accurate quantity takeoffs, labor assessments, and material pricing
- Reviewing drawings, specifications, and addenda to identify scope, gaps, and opportunities
- Partnering with project managers, field leadership, and preconstruction teams to validate approach and build strategy
- Soliciting and leveling subcontractor and vendor quotes
- Developing budgets, alternates, value-engineering options, and bid clarifications
- Supporting handoff to operations to ensure a clean transition from estimate to execution
- Strong understanding of electrical systems — power, lighting, controls, low-voltage, and life-safety
- Ability to read and interpret construction documents with precision
- A strategic mindset — you don’t just price the work, you understand how it will be built
- Confidence working in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments
- Clear, concise communication with internal teams, clients, and trade partners
- A reputation for accuracy, accountability, and follow-through
- High-visibility role with direct impact on company growth
- A steady pipeline of negotiated and repeat-client opportunities
- Leadership that values preconstruction as a strategic advantage
- A culture where estimators are trusted partners, not order-takers
- Opportunity to work on complex, technically challenging electrical projects across the Bay Area
If you’re the kind of estimator who knows the numbers, understands the build, and takes pride in putting together winning proposals, this is a conversation worth having.
