Job Description
Position Overview The Estimator/Electrical Engineer is responsible for reviewing construction drawings, performing accurate quantity takeoffs, preparing estimates, and producing clear documentation for project execution. This role requires strong technical expertise in electrical and MEP systems, plan reading, and drawing markups—not just administrative support. The engineer will collaborate with project managers, clients, and field teams to ensure precise scope definition, cost control, and successful project delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and interpret architectural, electrical, MEP, and low voltage/security drawings.
- Perform detailed quantity takeoffs for electrical devices, cable runs, panels, lighting, and related scope.
- Prepare cost estimates, proposals, and supporting documentation.
- Create floor plan markups, system diagrams, and installation drawings for field technicians.
- Utilize digital takeoff and markup software (Bluebeam, PlanSwift, AutoCAD, Visio, Excel).
- Coordinate with field teams, installers, subcontractors, and site engineers to resolve questions and site condition changes.
- Update drawings and estimates based on change orders, RFIs, addenda, or field modifications.
- Communicate directly with clients to clarify project scope and requirements.
- Organize tasks, drawings, estimates, and project documentation independently in a remote work environment.
Qualifications
Education \& Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (preferred).
- 3+ years of experience in electrical/MEP estimating, plan reading, and technical project coordination.
Technical Skills
- Proficiency in Bluebeam, PlanSwift, AutoCAD, Visio, and Excel.
- Strong knowledge of electrical and MEP systems (power distribution, lighting, HVAC, fire protection, low voltage, auxiliary systems).
- Ability to prepare clear floor plan markups, system diagrams, and installation drawings.
- Competence in performing accurate quantity takeoffs and organizing estimates.
