    • Prepare estimating deliverables including scope descriptions, BOMs, labor estimates, and exclusions

    • Assist with scope changes, budget updates, and handoff documentation once projects are awarded
    • Contribute to continuous improvement of Cogent's estimating accuracy and standard practices
    Work Environment/Travel Expectations
    This position offers a mix of office- and field-based work to support estimating and sales activities. Typical allocation includes approximately 20% on-site travel to customer or project locations for pre-bid walkthroughs, scope validation, and sales support, and 80% in-office estimating and proposal development. Overnight travel is not expected.
    Minimum Qualifications
    • Technical degree or equivalent experience in controls, electrical, or automation-related field
    • Experience with industrial control systems, panel fabrication, field installation, or commissioning
    • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, control narratives, and system requirements
    • Working knowledge of PLC-based control systems and industrial automation components
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills for scope and proposal development
    • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
    • Excellent communication, time management, and interpersonal skills.
    • Valid driver's license and ability to travel as project needs require.
    Preferred Qualifications
    • Experience estimating or supporting bids for control systems or automation projects
    • Familiarity with Allen-Bradley control platforms and industrial VFDs
    • Knowledge of UL 508A panel standards and electrical safety practices
    • Experience in municipal water/wastewater or process automation environments
