Full Job Description

FindTalent is supporting a leading electrical contractor in their search for an experienced Estimator specializing in indoor electrical systems for data center projects . This role is based onsite full-time and focuses on delivering precise cost estimates, takeoffs, and proposals for complex data center electrical infrastructure projects.

The Estimator will play a key role in supporting pre-construction and project delivery efforts—analyzing drawings and specifications, identifying value-engineering opportunities, and collaborating closely with engineering, procurement, and project management teams to ensure accurate bids and competitive pricing. This position requires deep technical expertise in electrical estimating for mission-critical facilities, as well as strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills to coordinate effectively across disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

Prepare detailed electrical estimates and proposals for data center projects, including labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs.
Review drawings, specifications, and design documents to identify scope, risks, and value opportunities.
Perform quantity takeoffs using digital tools and estimating software.
Collaborate with engineering, project management, and procurement teams to develop bid strategies and ensure alignment on project scope and budget.
Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate subcontractor and vendor quotations.
Support the pre-construction process with cost studies, budgets, and conceptual estimates.
Participate in bid reviews, clarifications, and presentations as needed.
Maintain and update estimating databases, pricing libraries, and historical cost data.
Ensure compliance with company estimating standards, policies, and quality control procedures.
Support project handoff to operations and provide ongoing estimating assistance during project execution when required.

Key Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred.
5–7 years of experience in electrical estimating, specifically focused on data centers or other mission-critical facilities.
Strong knowledge of electrical systems including power distribution, grounding, lighting, UPS, and control systems.
Experience with indoor electrical construction (low voltage, medium voltage, and building systems).
Proficiency with estimating and takeoff software (e.g., Accubid, Bluebeam, Trimble, or similar).
Solid understanding of construction documents, design-build processes, and bid procedures.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and accuracy.
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities; capable of working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple estimates simultaneously.

Additional Information

Full-time, onsite role (5 days/week) in the Midwest region.
Limited travel may be required for pre-bid meetings or client walkthroughs.
Opportunity to work on state-of-the-art data center infrastructure projects with a highly experienced electrical construction team.

Why Apply Through FindTalent?

FindTalent partners with industry leaders in electrical construction to connect skilled professionals with high-impact opportunities. This position offers the chance to contribute to innovative, large-scale data center projects while advancing your career in a stable and growth-oriented environment.
