Job Description
- We are looking for an experienced Industrial Electrical Estimator / Project Manager who can step in immediately and run municipality work without hand-holding.
- This is not a training role. We need someone who knows how industrial jobs are built, how they’re priced, and how to keep them profitable from estimate to closeout. This role is about getting work done correctly, keeping it profitable, and building long-term client trust.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven industrial electrical estimating experience
- Proven experience running industrial jobs successfully
- Strong job cost knowledge — you know where money is made and lost
- Hands-on experience with:
- Motor controls
- VFDs
- Switchgear
- Power distribution
- Industrial controls / PLC environments
- Ability to read drawings and understand how systems are actually installed
- Experience in manufacturing plants, energy facilities, water/wastewater, or similar heavy industrial environments
- Comfortable managing subcontractors in both union and non-union settings
- Proficient in Accubid (or similar), Excel, Bluebeam, and project scheduling software
- Experience with AIA billing and disciplined change order management
What You Will Actually Do
- Build accurate, complete industrial electrical estimates using Accubid (or similar)
- Perform detailed material take-offs and labor analysis
- Understand how the job will be built — not just how it looks on paper
- Run projects from award through commissioning
- Track job costs weekly and protect margin
- Identify overruns early and correct them
- Manage shutdowns and critical-path industrial schedules
- Handle RFIs, submittals, change orders, and billing without losing money
- Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and field crews
- Report directly to leadership on cost performance and job health
The Right Person
- Doesn’t need supervision to figure out what to do next
- Understands industrial work and uptime pressure
- Knows how to price jobs realistically
- Protects margin aggressively
- Communicates directly and clearly
- Can sit across from a plant manager or GC and handle the conversation
