Remote Electrical Estimator

About the Company

Our client is a well-established engineering and consulting firm with decades of experience supporting complex infrastructure projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic and across the United States. The firm specializes in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (M/E/P) estimating services for both public and private sector clients, with expertise spanning water and wastewater treatment facilities, electric bus depots, transportation infrastructure, and other mission-critical projects.

Known for its technical excellence and collaborative culture, the organization provides clients with reliable cost planning and estimating services that support informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

About the Position

Our client is seeking an experienced Electrical Estimator to join its growing team in a fully remote capacity. This role is responsible for preparing detailed construction cost estimates during various stages of design development to support owner budgeting, capital planning, and procurement strategies.

• Review construction drawings, specifications, and supporting documentation to develop detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing.
• Evaluate labor, material, equipment, subcontractor, and installation costs.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to clarify scope and identify potential cost impacts.
• Assist with budgeting, value engineering, and cost planning throughout project development.
• Maintain estimating documentation and support continuous improvement of estimating practices.
• Travel occasionally for training, team meetings, and project site visits as needed.

Requirements

• 5–10 years of electrical estimating experience, preferably within M/E/P, infrastructure, or industrial construction.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, construction drawings, specifications, and estimating methodologies.
• Experience preparing estimates across multiple phases of design development.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and estimating software (training will be provided on the firm's proprietary estimating platform).
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently in a remote environment.
• Willingness to travel occasionally to Parkton, Maryland for training and team meetings.
• Willingness to travel periodically for project site visits.

Benefits

• Fully remote work environment with flexible scheduling.
• Opportunity to work on impactful infrastructure and public works projects.
• Collaborative team of experienced engineering and estimating professionals.
• Training on the company's estimating software and processes.
• Professional growth and long-term career development opportunities.
• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.
• Comprehensive benefits package (details provided during the interview process).
