Electrical Estimator

Your New Company

Join a leading electrical contracting organization recognized for delivering high‑quality, innovative, and cost‑effective electrical construction solutions across industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors. The company is committed to excellence, collaboration, and safety, with a strong focus on technical capability and relationship‑driven service. Employees at every level are supported with a well‑established safety culture anchored in the organization’s goal of zero incidents.
A safe and healthy work environment is a core guiding principle. The company is dedicated to protecting its employees through proactive safety measures, continuous training, and a shared commitment to safe work practices across all project sites.

Your New Role

As a Senior Electrical Estimator, you will prepare accurate cost estimates and bid documentation for a wide range of electrical construction projects. You’ll work closely with suppliers, clients, subcontractors, and the Chief Estimator to develop competitive pricing strategies and ensure estimates meet organizational standards at all project stages—from conceptual and schematic design through tender and construction.
You’ll review design documents, perform detailed take-offs, assess project risks, and prepare final proposals. This position also includes mentoring junior estimators, maintaining estimating software and pricing databases, and representing the company professionally during meetings and site walkthroughs.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Certified Engineering Technologist, 309A Electrical License, or Electrical Certificate of Qualification preferred

  • Minimum 6 years of experience estimating electrical construction projects (industrial, commercial, institutional)
  • Strong ability to estimate diverse project types and prepare complex proposals with minimal supervision
  • Proficiency in estimating and quantity take-off software, including BlueBeam, Accubid, and Live Count
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and blueprints
  • Solid knowledge of procurement procedures, accounting practices, and project administration
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel)

Skills & Attributes

  • Exceptional organization, record‑keeping, and multitasking abilities
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to collaborate with internal teams, clients, suppliers, and subcontractors
Key Responsibilities

  • Review tender documents to ensure accuracy and compliance
  • Analyze drawings, specifications, and related design documentation
  • Identify design gaps and issue RFIs for clarification
  • Perform pre‑bid risk assessments and develop installation strategies
  • Provide value‑engineering recommendations to improve cost‑effectiveness
  • Conduct detailed take-offs and organize quantities in estimating software
  • Prepare material, labour, equipment, and job cost calculations
  • Evaluate subcontractor and supplier quotes for compliance and suitability
  • Prepare scope letters and qualification notes
  • Review estimates prepared by other team members
  • Mentor and support new hires within the estimating department
