Electrical Service Estimator

ELECTRICIANS: READY TO TRADE YOUR TOOLS FOR A NEW CAREER?

10 Years in the Field? Your Experience Could Make You Our Next Rockstar Estimator!

Lighting Maintenance Inc. (LMI) is looking for an experienced electrical professional ready to take their career to the next level!

You've spent years troubleshooting electrical systems, installing lighting, running jobs, and figuring out what it really takes to get the work done.

Now it's time to put that knowledge to work in a whole new way!

We're looking for a Service Estimator who understands electrical work from the ground up. Someone who knows what a job takes because they've actually done the work.

You don't need years of estimating experience to catch our attention. If you have 10 years of solid electrical field experience, are comfortable with computers, and have the drive to learn, we want to talk to you!

What You'll Be Doing

• Turn field experience into accurate, competitive estimates and proposals.
• Estimate labor, materials, equipment, rentals, and subcontractor costs.
• Review technician notes, photos, drawings, and job specifications.
• Work alongside our Service Manager and field technicians.
• Identify job challenges, access requirements, and potential costs before work begins.
• Communicate with vendors and suppliers to obtain pricing.
• Prepare professional proposals and help transition awarded work to our operations teams.
• Use estimating software and computer systems to manage quotes and projects.

What Kind of Work Will You Estimate?

From everyday service calls to complex lighting and electrical projects, including:

• Commercial and industrial electrical service
• Parking lot, roadway, and site lighting
• LED upgrades and lighting controls
• Pole replacements and aerial bucket-truck work
• Electrical repairs, panels, and underground installations
• Small electrical construction and retrofit projects

Here's what we're looking for:

• 10 years of hands-on electrical field experience
• Strong understanding of electrical installations, troubleshooting, materials, and labor requirements
• Computer literacy is a MUST! You must be comfortable using Microsoft Office, learning new software, and working with digital systems.
• Ability to read blueprints, specifications, and scopes of work
• Good math, communication, and organizational skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
• A willingness to learn estimating and grow into the position
• Valid driver's license

Previous estimating experience is a plus, but strong field experience and the right attitude are just as important.

We're an established electrical and lighting contractor with more than 35 years in the industry, serving commercial, industrial, municipal, and government customers.

We offer:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Prescription coverage
• Employer-paid disability and life insurance
