Full Job Description

We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Fire Safety / Low Voltage Estimator to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for preparing accurate and competitive cost estimates for fire alarm, life safety, and low-voltage electrical projects. This position requires the ability to review plans, specifications, bid documents, addenda, and project requirements to develop complete estimates that account for labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, permits, testing, programming, commissioning, and closeout requirements.

This role requires strong analytical skills, a solid understanding of low-voltage electrical systems, fire alarm and life safety requirements, and the ability to communicate and negotiate effectively with general contractors, vendors, subcontractors, project managers, and internal team members.

Duties

The Fire Safety / Low Voltage Estimator will be responsible for:

· Reviewing and analyzing project plans, specifications, bid documents, RFPs, addenda, alternates, and scope narratives to prepare detailed cost estimates.

· Preparing estimates for fire alarm, fire life safety, access control, CCTV, intrusion, AV, DAS/ERRCS, monitoring, and other low-voltage systems as applicable.

· Performing detailed material and labor takeoffs from drawings and specifications.

· Reviewing fire alarm drawings, riser diagrams, device layouts, schedules, specifications, and sequence of operations to determine project scope and pricing requirements.

· Identifying scope gaps, conflicts, exclusions, clarifications, and potential risks within bid documents.

· Collaborating with project managers, operations, design, engineering, service, and field teams to gather information needed for accurate pricing.

· Utilizing estimating software and tools, including Bluebeam, to complete takeoffs and prepare estimates efficiently.

· Conducting site walks and pre-bid meetings to assess existing conditions, project logistics, access constraints, phasing, and other factors that may impact pricing.

· Preparing and submitting complete and accurate proposals, including scope inclusions, exclusions, qualifications, alternates, unit pricing, and required bid forms.

· Soliciting and reviewing vendor and subcontractor pricing for materials, equipment, monitoring, testing, specialty systems, and subcontracted scopes.

· Negotiating pricing with vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors to achieve competitive and favorable terms.

· Coordinating with manufacturers and distributors to obtain accurate material pricing, lead times, product availability, and technical information.

· Reviewing project requirements related to permits, inspections, testing, programming, commissioning, record drawings, closeout documents, warranties, and turnover.

· Preparing budgets, conceptual estimates, design-build estimates, change order pricing, and value engineering options as needed.

· Assisting with change order pricing, estimate revisions, and scope modifications throughout the project lifecycle.

· Monitoring project costs and estimate accuracy to support cost control and improve future estimating performance.

· Maintaining organized records of estimates, proposals, bid documents, contracts, correspondence, vendor quotes, subcontractor quotes, and project-related documentation.

· Participating in bid reviews, turnover meetings, and project handoff meetings with project management and operations teams.

· Maintaining knowledge of applicable codes, industry standards, local AHJ requirements, and company estimating practices.

Skills and Qualifications

The ideal candidate should:

· Have experience estimating fire alarm, fire life safety, and low-voltage electrical systems.

· Be proficient in construction estimating techniques, takeoff methods, labor units, material pricing, and bid preparation.

· Possess a working knowledge of fire alarm systems, low-voltage communication systems, access control, CCTV, DAS/ERRCS, AV, monitoring, and related building system interfaces.

· Be able to read and interpret construction drawings, electrical drawings, fire alarm plans, riser diagrams, specifications, addenda, and scope documents.

· Understand project requirements related to installation, testing, inspection, programming, commissioning, and closeout.

· Be familiar with cost control measures, contract management, bid review, and negotiation strategies.

· Have experience using Bluebeam or similar software for digital takeoffs and estimating.

· Have strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office, Excel, Outlook, PDF tools, estimating software, and project documentation systems.

· Possess excellent written and verbal communication skills.

· Have strong organizational skills and attention to detail while managing multiple estimates, deadlines, and priorities.

· Be able to work collaboratively in a team environment while also being self-motivated and able to work independently.

· Understand project management principles as they relate to estimating, bidding, budgeting, change orders, procurement, and project handoff.

· Be able to identify scope gaps, constructability concerns, code-related issues, and potential project risks.

· Have the ability to professionally communicate with general contractors, owners, vendors, subcontractors, engineers, consultants, project managers, and internal team members.

Preferred Qualifications

· Prior experience with fire alarm or life safety estimating.

· Experience with design-build or negotiated low-voltage projects.

· Knowledge of NFPA 72, California Fire Code, California Building Code, and local AHJ requirements.

· Experience estimating Edwards, Notifier, Siemens, Potter, Silent Knight, Fire-Lite, or other fire alarm systems.

· Experience with multifamily, commercial, mixed-use, hospitality, education, healthcare, industrial, or high-rise projects.

· NICET Fire Alarm Systems certification preferred, but not required.

· Field experience in fire alarm or low-voltage systems is a plus.
