About North Valley Electric

North Valley Electric (NVE, Inc.) is a growing electrical contractor specializing in commercial, residential, and service electrical construction throughout Northern California. While we perform a wide variety of electrical work, our primary focus and expertise is new construction multifamily apartment communities.

From our headquarters in Loomis and satellite office in Chico, we partner with general contractors, developers, property owners, and homeowners to deliver high-quality electrical solutions throughout the region.

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Sales & Estimating Representative who can build lasting client relationships, identify new business opportunities, accurately estimate projects, and successfully close profitable work.

This is not a traditional sales position. The ideal candidate will be comfortable managing projects from the initial customer meeting through estimating, proposal preparation, contract negotiations, and project handoff.

Position Summary

The Electrical Sales & Estimating Representative is responsible for developing new business opportunities while preparing competitive and accurate electrical estimates for commercial, residential, tenant improvement, and service projects.

This role combines business development, customer relationship management, and estimating. The successful candidate will confidently meet with clients, review project documents, prepare estimates, negotiate contracts, and coordinate with internal teams to ensure a smooth transition from awarded project to production.

While estimating support and guidance will be provided during onboarding, candidates should have prior experience estimating electrical work and be capable of independently managing estimates as they become established in the role. The ideal candidate will be able to independently read plans, perform material and labor takeoffs, and prepare accurate, competitive electrical estimates while managing multiple bids and deadlines.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain relationships with general contractors, developers, property managers, and other industry partners.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities throughout Northern California.
