Remote Electrical Estimator

About the Company Our client is a well-established engineering and consulting firm with decades of experience supporting complex infrastructure projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic and across the United States. The firm specializes in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (M/E/P) estimating services for public and private sector clients, with expertise spanning water and wastewater treatment facilities, electric bus depots, transportation infrastructure, and other mission-critical projects. Known for its technical excellence and collaborative culture, the organization delivers reliable cost planning that supports informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. About the Position Our client is seeking an experienced Electrical Estimator to join its growing team. This role prepares detailed construction cost estimates at various stages of design development to support owner budgeting, capital planning, and procurement strategy. Unlike traditional contractor estimating positions, this is not a hard-bid role. The focus is on developing accurate, comprehensive cost projections that help clients make informed decisions throughout planning and design.

Candidates should live within reasonable driving distance of Parkton (greater Baltimore, York/Harrisburg, northern Maryland, southern Pennsylvania) or be open to relocating there. Key Responsibilities Prepare accurate electrical construction cost estimates from conceptual design through final construction documents. Review construction drawings, specifications, and supporting documentation to develop detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing. Evaluate labor, material, equipment, subcontractor, and installation costs. Collaborate with engineering teams to clarify scope and identify potential cost impacts. Support budgeting, value engineering, and cost planning throughout project development. Maintain estimating documentation and contribute to improving estimating practices. Requirements 5 to 10 years of electrical estimating experience, preferably within M/E/P, infrastructure, or industrial construction. Strong understanding of electrical systems, construction drawings, specifications, and estimating methodologies. Experience preparing estimates across multiple phases of design development. Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and estimating software. Training is provided on the firm’s proprietary platform. Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills. Self-motivated, with a track record of working independently in a remote setting. Located within commuting distance of Parkton, Maryland, or willing to relocate. Occasional travel for training, team meetings, and project site visits. Benefits Remote work environment with flexible scheduling. Impactful infrastructure and public works projects. Collaborative team of experienced engineering and estimating professionals. Training on the company’s estimating software and processes. Professional growth and long-term career development. Competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Comprehensive benefits package, details provided during the interview process.
