• Review and interpret electrical blueprints, schematics, specifications, and other project documentation when available.
• Determine labor, material, equipment, and subcontractor requirements for each project.
• Research and calculate material costs using current market pricing, supplier quotes, and company pricing information.
• Prepare professional proposals and estimates that clearly communicate the scope of work, exclusions, assumptions, and pricing.
• Ensure estimates comply with applicable electrical codes, building codes, safety requirements, and industry standards.
• Communicate directly with customers to understand project requirements, answer questions, explain proposed solutions, and clarify the scope of work.
• Work closely with project managers, electricians, suppliers, and other team members to ensure estimates are accurate and practical to execute.
• Assist with design-build projects by developing electrical solutions based on customer needs, site conditions, and applicable codes.
• Identify potential project issues, material requirements, installation challenges, and cost considerations before work begins.
• Maintain organized records of estimates, proposals, supplier quotes, customer communications, and project documentation.
• Utilize Microsoft Office and other estimating or project management software to prepare estimates, proposals, reports, and documentation.
• Follow up on proposals as needed and assist with converting estimates into successful projects.
