About this role
Overview Paige Renewable Energy, a GCG company, is seeking an experienced Electrical Estimator to join our growing Paige Energy team and support utility-scale renewable energy projects across North America! As our Electrical Estimator, you’ll translate customer drawings, specifications, bills of material, and project requirements into accurate, executable estimates. You’ll perform detailed material takeoffs, develop project pricing, identify scope or design issues, and work closely with Sales, Engineering, Project Management, Supply Chain, and manufacturing partners to help ensure projects are positioned for successful execution. This is a strong opportunity for someone who combines practical electrical knowledge with exceptional attention to detail and ownership. You should be comfortable working through large, complex project packages, asking thoughtful technical questions, challenging assumptions when something does not look right, and taking responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of your work. While this role offers a remote work environment, we are seeking candidates in either the Eastern or Central Time Zone to align with the work schedule of the existing team.
What You’ll Do
Review RFQ packages, electrical drawings, site layouts, single-line diagrams, specifications, bills of material, and related documentation to understand project scope and requirements.
Perform detailed electrical material takeoffs, including cable lengths, harness and string counts, connectors, assemblies, accessories, and other project-specific materials.
Develop project estimates incorporating material costs, vendor pricing, freight, manufacturing costs, customer requirements, and other project-specific considerations.
Identify drawing discrepancies, missing information, scope gaps, incompatible materials, and other potential risks while clearly documenting assumptions, exclusions, and required clarifications.
Validate critical quantities, material selections, calculations, and drawing revisions before estimates are released.
Coordinate with Supply Chain and manufacturing partners to obtain and validate supplier pricing, lead times, freight requirements, and other cost inputs.
Support proposal development, design revisions, value-engineering opportunities, Best and Final Offer (BAFO) activities, and estimate revisions throughout the sales process.
Evaluate changes between estimate revisions and clearly communicate impacts to quantities, scope, cost, materials, and project requirements.
Maintain organized, traceable estimating files and supporting documentation that allow estimates to be independently reviewed.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with renewable energy, utility-scale solar, EPC organizations, electrical contracting, or industrial electrical projects.
Proficiency with AutoCAD.
Working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Education in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Technology, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline; equivalent relevant industry experience will also be considered. What Success Looks Like Success in this role means producing estimates that are accurate, complete, timely, and traceable. You’ll take ownership of your work, identify inconsistencies and risks before they become costly problems, clearly communicate assumptions and technical concerns, and help projects transition smoothly from opportunity through award and execution. You’ll also contribute to improving the tools and processes the Paige Energy team uses to make estimating increasingly efficient and reliable. What We Offer
Competitive base salary ranging from $80,000 to $90,000 plus annual bonus based on company and individual performance
Comprehensive Health Coverage: Multiple medical plan options (CDHP and PPO) to get you the coverage you need
Robust Financial Security: Company-paid life and disability insurance, 401(k) with company match, plus options for supplemental critical illness, accident, and hospital indemnity plans
Generous Time Off: PTO plan with paid holidays, paid parental leave, and paid compassionate care leave to support personal well-being and family needs

Participate in project award and handoff activities, confirming that final estimates, quantities, assumptions, pricing, and scope align with the awarded project and customer purchase order.

Help improve estimating templates, tools, checklists, standards, and review processes by incorporating lessons learned from awarded and completed projects. What You’ll Bring Required Qualifications
3+ years of electrical estimating experience, or equivalent electrical construction or design experience that includes estimating and material takeoff responsibilities.
Demonstrated ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, site plans, specifications, and bills of material.
Experience performing detailed material takeoffs and developing project estimates.
Strong understanding of electrical materials, cable, conductors, connectors, and electrical distribution systems.
Strong mathematical and analytical skills with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and experience using Bluebeam or similar takeoff and document-review software.
Strong organizational, communication, and collaboration skills with the ability to manage multiple complex estimates at different stages of development.
Wellness & Support Programs: Employee Assistance Program (EAP), wellness incentives, and telehealth access
Extras That Matter: Dental and vision plans, FSAs/HSAs with company contributions, pet insurance, legal services, and ID theft protection for peace of mind
