Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Electrical Estimator to support a growing U.S.-based electrical contracting business specializing in commercial and residential electrical work, as well as EV charger installations.

This role will focus primarily on general electrical estimating for U.S. contractors, with EV charger estimating as a secondary responsibility. The position starts at 20 hours per week, with the opportunity to grow into full-time based on workload, performance, and trust.

The ideal candidate has at least 3 years of hands-on electrical estimating experience for U.S.-based contractors, a strong understanding of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and experience managing multiple active bids without sacrificing accuracy. Chicago-specific electrical requirements will be taught during onboarding.

This is a high-autonomy role for someone who can work independently, manage a live queue of approximately 15–20 active bids, identify scope gaps and risks, and help build a more organized estimating process from the ground up.

• Prepare estimates for EV charger installation projects using the company's estimating platform.
• Maintain accurate material pricing and update costs as market prices change.
• Track labor hours, wages, equipment costs, and other project-related expenses.
• Adapt to the company's existing estimating tools and processes.

Systems & Documentation

• Use Google Workspace, including Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Chat, for communication and documentation.
• Use the company's EV estimating and material management platform for applicable projects.
• Maintain accurate bid records and status updates in Google Drive.
• Keep estimate files organized so the internal team can easily review and act on them.
• Communicate clearly regarding questions, missing information, scope concerns, and bid status.

• Experience estimating both commercial and residential electrical projects.
• Strong working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
• Ability to understand and apply local electrical code requirements and amendments.
