Electrical Estimator's job to comply with the company's requirements while ensuring all elements of
costs are included in the estimate.

Your experience in this career field is what provides the confidence you need to make sure you have
covered all the required and customary issues each job will incur. That experience is what provides
the confidence that you have covered all the scope of work and priced it accordingly.

Rejection, denial, and disbelief from clients is normal. You must be able to explain the whys and
the underlying costs when the client challenges your estimated line items. Thus, the ability to be
respectful while being criticized is essential. In addition, you will be challenged by other
members of the management team and must be willing to explain in detail your estimates and the
underlying cost drivers of an individual project.

months, the candidate will be able to deliver two to three small project estimates per week
including drafting of proposals and communications w/various parties.

Within six months, the estimator will be able to deliver six to eight small projects with one
medium-sized project per week.

By the end of the first year, the estimator will be able to deliver six to eight proposals per week
inclusive of two medium size projects. The estimator will be capable of preparing a large project
package.

By the end of the second year, the estimator will no longer need guidance nor input from office
personnel and will be able to deliver

estimates/proposals/packages

on a consistent basis including communications w/management, clients, vendors, suppliers, and subs. In the overall scope
of work, the estimator will be the Electrical estimator on the team and will be capable of
delivering around $30M of proposals per year.

This is an office position with traditional office hours and no provision is made for the company
to provide any sort of transportation.

The estimator is a salaried position.
