Full Job Description

About Us

McPhee Electric-a Phalcon Company, is seeking a Utility / Electrical Estimator with experience in transmission, substation, and distribution construction. This role is ideal for an estimator with strong competitive bidding experience in heavy electrical utility work.

We build work the right way, by aligning Quality, Safety, and Productivity (QSP) from the very beginning of a project. For us, estimating is not just about winning bids. It is about winning the right work, pricing it with integrity, and setting projects up to be executed safely, efficiently, and profitably.

The Role

We are seeking a Utility Estimator to lead contractor-side, competitive estimating for complex utility infrastructure projects. This role is for an estimator who understands that the real measure of success is not the award, it is how the project performs in the field.

You will own the estimating process from preconstruction through bid submission, with a strong focus on accurate scope, realistic productivity, risk awareness, and executable pricing. This is not an owner or utility-authority estimating role.

What You’ll Do

Lead competitive estimating efforts for utility transmission, substation, and distribution projects
Develop fully executable estimates that support safe operations, quality installation, and profitable project delivery
Apply QSP principles to estimating decisions, balancing competitiveness with constructability and risk
Review RFPs, drawings, and specifications to identify scope gaps, constructability issues, and cost drivers
Establish bid strategies that prioritize long-term success over short-term wins
Coordinate vendor and subcontractor pricing with a focus on reliability, scope clarity, and buyout success
Partner with Operations and Project Management to ensure smooth transition from estimate to execution
Participate in post-bid and post-project reviews to continuously improve estimating accuracy and outcomes
Mentor junior estimators and reinforce consistent estimating standards and best practices

What You’ll Bring

7+ years of contractor-side estimating experience in utility or heavy electrical construction
Proven experience competitively bidding transmission, substation, and/or distribution projects
Strong understanding of productivity, labor planning, and execution risk in utility work
Demonstrated commitment to bid integrity—pricing work to win and to perform
Advanced proficiency in Accubid (preferred) and Excel-based estimating tools
Ability to think beyond the bid and understand downstream impacts on safety, schedule, and margin
Strong communication skills and the confidence to challenge assumptions when necessary

Work Location: In‑person, South Plainfield, NJ
Travel: Minimal (site visits and vendor/partner coordination as needed)

Salary: $135,000–$200,000 (depending on experience and project portfolio)
Total Compensation Includes: 401(k) match, full medical, HSA, PTO, EAP, etc.

Career Growth at Phalcon

At Phalcon, estimators are leaders. Senior Utility Estimators have potential paths into Lead Estimator, Estimating Manager, Director of Estimating, and Preconstruction Leadership roles. We value people who want ownership, accountability, and long-term growth, not just the next bid.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $135,000.00 - $200,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Employee assistance program
Health insurance
Health savings account
Life insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

Have you personally led estimates for utility, transmission, substation, or industrial electrical projects valued at $10M+?
Have you estimated competitively bid electrical work as a contractor or subcontractor? (Yes/No)
Have you owned bids where winning vs losing directly impacted backlog? (Yes/No)
Do you have 3+ years of estimating experience specifically with an electrical contractor or subcontractor? (yes/no)

Education:

Bachelor's (Preferred)

Experience:

Primavera P6: 3 years (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
